Now if they diagnose you quickly so you can get the right treatment, that would be so much better than anything else. I'm sorry about the Cymbalta, I know you were hopeful it would work. *sigh* I’ll be praying for you too.

That test along with a CRP are two of the more reliable indicators of inflamation, as I'm sure you've found from your research. RF? ANA? Lupus Ana-lyzer panel? (I work in a hospital lab) Find thee a good internist and/or rheumatologist! Hang in there -- and keep squeaking til they grease you!! <b>From VK: No, they didn't make it clear and I didn't think to ask at the time. Having a doctor call at a very early hour on Saturday morning was enough to throw me for a loop, on top of which I didn't even know what questions to ask since I hadn't researched anything involving liver disorders at the time. I'll be asking later today, though, and will be sure to let you know.</b> So did they tell you what your sed rate is?

That's all Freud's fault. Anyway, I'm glad the doctor is getting somewhere with a diagnosis. <b>From VK: Yeah, and I bet the doctor wouldn't believe me if I told him I'd rather have a diagnosis than a penis!</b> Kate, It wouldn’t be the first time a doctor told a woman it is all in her head!

CalTech Girl, it's rather infuriating right now to realize that the Cymbalta could very well have exacerbated an autoimmune problem. In which case I got prescribed an anti-depressant when I was actually sick! Thanks, all!

Welcome to the wonderful world of rheumatic disease, where doctors specialize in the phrase "no, you're not crazy, you're sick!" Here's hoping you get a real diagnosis and med regimen that gives you some relief. Ugh.
