So my neurologist found para proteins in my blood and sent me off to a hematologist. Good news is I don't have leukemia or Myeloma. Due to the nature of those proteins in my blood once again I am pointed back to Immune diseases. I've had three negative tests for Lupus but no assessments for Lyme disease.
Bad news is that my body is no longer capable of digesting Iron so I will be on transfusions for the rest of my life. If I am lucky the liquid supplement will be enough so I don't have to switch to whole blood or plasma donations.
Tomorrow is my sleep study which is kind of exciting. I am a bit more accepting of the idea that I could have apnea. Hopefully some nuerological indicator will show up too because my neurologist seems annoyed with my symptom spectrum. On the recommendation of the hematologist I will be going to a endocrinologist which may mean all this nonsense could be from Hashimoto's Encepalopathy. It's been years since a Doctor has really critiqued my thyroid results and never have I had any real testing past bloodwork. I'm surprised I haven't gotten an angry call from Medicaid about needing so many specialists.
