No, I totally get it!! I was willing to throw major bucks at this to get some real answers. My health is my first priorty this year and I'm going to go until the cash runs out!

This doctor is a specialist in fibro, and I've always tested in the "normal" ranges for all my blood tests (except for a little anemia back when I was eleven). The clinic does broad and narrow spectrum testing, meaning they will tell me where EXACTLY I fit in the normal ranges, IF I test as normal.

Their methodology is to get me in the "optimal" range. So if on a certain test the scale goes from 1 to 1000, and normal range is from 50 to 900, and I'm testing at 899, their approach is to get me in more of an optimal point on that scale.

Can't wait for the results!!!!! Hope they can do something with them. I'll post back everything for sure.

It sure is a blessing to have a dood doctor in your corner! I'm happy for you! You deserve a kind, compassionate doctor to help you find your answers.

I hope you get to the bottom of this, Maria. You should be proud of yourself for helping yourself. It takes a lot of energy to go to these doctors and get the tests. But it's worth it if you can get some answers and really worth it if you get some relief!!!
