[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 128265, member: 84"] (((((hugs)))))) Chronic pain can make you think things you wouldn't believe you'd ever consider. It's awful, but true. I was hoping docs would have more to go on after the blood results. Maybe if they can figure out what caused the vit D deficiency it will tell them the rest? Have they checked you for metabolic disorders? Travis' neuro decided that since no one else had come up with a diagnosis for the symtoms he was having, and since he himself had no clue, to test him for everything. Seriously. Everything A - Z. (including exotic diseases) Anything that had a blood test for it. It's how they found the polycythemia. Which, by the way, explained all of the symptoms he's had for years. Even when the first and second tests indicated he had it, docs told me they didn't think he did because it's extremely rare in someone so young. Bone marrow test confirmed. They couldn't believe it. You know what's ironic about that? It should've been picked up in just a routine blood count. Yep. But was missed over and over. Why? Because that wasn't what the doctor had ordered the test for at that time. ugh I certainly hope they can puzzle out what's going on. The not knowing can drive a person batty, and makes it difficult to find treatments that are effective for long periods. Hugs [/QUOTE]
