CD2: Vacillating about cycling

AF came early again – a 25 day cycle. Since I had the whopper 6cm cyst late this last January, my cycles haven’t been normal. As the 6cm cyst withered on the right, a +2cm cyst on the left had developed. Today was my first ultrasound since visiting my fabulous U/S man in NJ. So, [...]

CD11: Immunology Results Are In

I finally had my in person meeting with Dr. Braverman yesterday to go over the results from my immune tests that he ran. A few surprising things: My NK cells are at 28% killing power. This is about 50% higher than they’ve ever been over the last 5 or 6 years. For the first time [...]

Labwork Hell

It’s bad enough that Health Line laboratories mislabeled & lost my Mycoplasma/Ureaplasma and other miscellaneous cultures from back in October, but just last week, their phelbotomist failed draw enough blood to do all of my tests (what, 7 vials wasn’t enough?). The lab person said that one of the vials was halfway full. Hmm…I know [...]
