Blood test results are back and it is good news for me ...

I had blood tests a few weeks ago to test for the Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and they came back as abnormal for some reason. So i had to go for another blood test and have been quite on edge waiting for results till today, wondering what the " abnormality" may be. Thoughts can go from one extreme to another if allowed to and i had to pull myself together at one point and try to push it to the back of my mind. Well the dr. has just called me to let me know that my antitripsin levels are normal. So i am relieved and very thankful that i am not a carrier and it is not genetic as the dr had presumed it to be this past few years.
