Reply #20: Don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Here we are almost 2 weeks after the good news on all the tests... cept one test came up weird (seems to be a trend sigh). So we're off to the races again in another direction to another type of doctor, a Nephrologist (had never heard of em before so at least I learned a new word). Seems right about the time we started doing all the tests and referrals for the high wbc counts something called serum creatinine went wonky too and it's now gone up a pretty good ways so. Family doc isn't sure what it means... only thing we know is it started sometime in June/July. We went over all the meds I take and didn't find anything overt there soooo... It's off to the kidney doctor to get tested for more stuff and why all of a sudden my kidneys are starting to not work so well and if it's reversable etc...

It's probably a really good thing we did the testing stuff we did when we did... we wouldn't have caught this till late september when next scheduled doc visit was cause I don't feel bad at all. So more testing... the only stuff I know they are doing is a prostate cancer test (don't see the relationship but hey I'm not the doctor...).

So... trying to stay positive and mostly succeeding in being annoyed and amused at it all.
