IgA-Carla (I am back!)

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone!

I am now back online. Gee whiz! I hope I will not have to move for

a long time. That was a mess! But I made it thru. It took me long

enough. But I sure miss this group. I have so much to let you know

about. So, sorry in advance if this going to be a long email.

Well, let me start by saying, that there has been a lot

happening, this I have been moving. Last night, I got a major

cramping and tightening of my muscles in my legs and arms. So, I

went to the ER, because the pain was entense. So, they gave me a

shot to try to calm down the pain. They said it was something

similar to morphine. Well, that helped a little, but I was still in

massive pain. I have never experience this type pain before. It was

in my feet, legs and arms that was painful. Well, they took some

blood from me and the test number for this is high for me having

rematoid arthritis or Lupus. " Oh, my goodness! One more thing, " I

said. So, I took more blood test to confirm it today. I will know in

about 2 weeks. I am hoping and praying for a good result. Fearing

the worse, but praying for the best.

For the kidney disease concern, I had some test done for that and

here are the numbers:

Glucose: 64

BUN: 11

Creatinine: 1.0

Caculated BUN/CREAT: 11

Sodium: 137

Potassium: 3.8

Chloride: 103

Carbon Dioxide: 103

Calcium: 26

Protein, Total: 7.3

Albumin: 3.5

Caculated Globulin: 3.8

Caculated A/G Ratio: 0.9

Bilirubin, Total: 0.3

Alakaline Phosphatase: 65

SGOT (AST): 7

SGPT (ALT): 7

Well, I am in pain and going to go lay down. I will email more

tomorrow. Take Care, everyone.

Pierre, I hope and pray you are doing better and feeling better.

these days.
