I'm feeling goofy and very tired as usual). I just know something is wrong- it's stressful when you prepare your presentation for your doctor's visit to convince them you are not well. I had some testing done on Halloween and everything was normal except low co2- looking that up pointed to kidney issues but creatinine was normal, so doc said it didn't mean much, something about fasting before your blood test does that. I'm not anemic, Vitamin D is good, white blood cells/red blood cells are normal, absolute neutrophil count is fine (ANC)- I have no idea if this is in any way connected to ANCA but.... normal bloodwork might be making them skeptical. I'll keep you posted on where I get with my prodding. Thanks!!
