Hi everyone,

well......my GI is very nice and understanding......which is very hard to find for me......maybe I am the difficult one? LOL!

anyways, we're doing more...more...blood work! He's repeating my ANA,

LFT's. He said there could be no way that my first blood work would show severe ANA...then only for the second blood work to show no signs at all!!

LFT's are consistant at 71 though... he said that 71 is not really that high, but everyone is different and I might not be able to tolerate even a slightly elevated LFT.

He is checking for many other things too.....Cholesterol, Smooth-Muscle Disorder, Hepatic Function Panel, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, CBC, CRP, RA, HLA, B27, DRW3, DR8, PT, PTT.....

and Anti-Smoothmile Antibody, Anti-Mitochordrial Antibody.......what in the world are these tests

I know what LFT"S, ANA, and Cholesterol are but thats it.

anyways.........????? He just said they are "fancy tests"

LOLOLOLO!!!!! Ok now I understand! I guess it would of takin' forever for him to explain it anyways....

and he will have to explain what they are if he finds anything.....

Under the DX. he put, Chronic pain/ Acute Immune Hetropathy.....

Boy, I sure have a long way to go...to understand this stuff! I am sure glad I have you all!!

He gave me 200mg of Celebrex to take once a day for the chronic pain all over....it only last for about 2 to 3 hours, and doesn't take it completely away. I am gonna call him tomorrow to see if I can take 2 or 3 everyday.....1 just isn't cutting it!

He said it won't harm my liver at all! Any other input from you all on Celebrex?

Thank you ssooooo.......much for your ears/eyes...LOL!

We'll see what the third set of blood work shows! I call him in 10 days. Next appt. in Jan. on the 8th!!

unless he finds something, he says.....

Take care everyone,

Going to bed....it's 9 pm......too much pain to sit at the puter...doubt I will sleep either.....GGEEZZZZZ!!!

((( HUGS )))

**HAPPY**HOLIDAYS**

**AND WARM HUGS**
