thanks alot! the specialist has done some blood tests..hmm cbc, sedrate, cmp,ana-anti dnc, c3-c4 complement, anti ssa-ssb, rnp-udrl. i have no clue what most of these are for...but those are what he ordered this time..i believe the sedrate is for the inflamation..the normal level is lower than 20..but at first i was 36 and the last time checked i was 30. so were hoping it went down. Inflamation is a sign of arthritis. and so in about 2 weeks ill have these tests done..and i have my next appointment in 3 weeks.
