Blood tested

[Ccrowlu]

I got my blood drawn like I predicted. They didn’t test my levels of RA but checking all the things that can be affected in my blood by RA instead. They also made me do testing for my painkiller for some unknown reason but wouldn’t allow me to have a refill till I took it.

They probably checked your inflammation levels. The test is also to see if the meds you are on are not harming your insides. I think you are now being looked after by this doctor.

I’m not on any medications that can harm my insides. They are checking things like white blood cell count and potassium levels

All medicines can harm your insides. Even eating too much licquorice can harm you.

If it was your first time at this clinic they would test your blood to see what if any other painkillers you had taken...once that is clear, they can proceed with a drug regime prescribed by your doctor.

Let's hope you get some treatment soon.

Any word on blood test results?

Not yet. They said it’d be a couple days.
