Heather,  thanks for the tip on cod liver.  My body HATES anything fishy, so that one didn't work well.  I do appreciate you thinking of me.

 

Are you getting the exact lab reports, or just what your doctor tells you from them?  Over the years you will have a LOT of bloodwork done.  It is important to make sure they give you copies of the lab report - not just the doctor's report.

 

Then take the lab reports and make graphs for each item.  Some things can only be figured out because this test increases and those tests decrease, even though they are all in the normal range. 

 

This is how they diagnosis'd my mom's liver problems.  She has had YEARS of lab work and she graphed it all.  The trends shown in the tests are much more revealing than the numbers on each test alone.

 

Just like looking at kid's testing reports, you have to look at more than just the numbers.

 

The burning you are describing is exactly what Lyrica is supposted to treat.  In ads they show feet on a cactus and ask if this is what you are feeling.  Several people I know have had good results with burning from lyrica.  Each doctor I see wants to know if I am on it because it will treat what I have.  If I go off it I really get the burning and numbness, etc.....

 

I hope that the doctor and you can figure something out.  Glad you are doing your own research.

 

hugs,

 

Susie
