    Tests you have had

    Hello,

    Thought I would list some tests/results I have had and see what other people have had done as well.

    Endoscopy - Gastritis
    ECG - Clear
    Lung Xray - Clear
    Back MRI - Clear
    Back Xray - Clear
    Abdominal Xray - Clear
    Abdominal Ultrasound - Clear
    Lupus Test (history in fam.) - Clear
    Diabetes - Clear
    Thyroid - Normal
    6 other Blood Tests - Clear
    4 Urine Tests - 2 Clear, 2 abnormal results but apparently fine
    Physical Exams - Clear
    Foot Pain, Physical Exam - Cellulitis

    I find it confusing, the foot pain one especially. I had an itch, then a massive bump formed, then the doctor said it a spot from anxiety so left it, then i couldnt walk, then the A&E doc said it was an infection and I needed to take antibiotics straight away.

    Anyway, how about you?

    Re: Tests you have had

    Omg where to start
    just about every blood test under the sun
    all have been normal except

    enlarged red blood cells,
    that turned out to be a quite sever vitamin b12 deficiany

    ENA (esting for auto immune illness)
    positive and still under investigatio

    RO/SSA ant-bodies
    positive also still under ivestigation

    Rheumatoid factor
    Mildly positive

    White blood cell count
    Slightly elevated

    MRI scan, Ct scan, chest xray, ecg's, 24 hour tapes, blood gasses, glucose tolerance test, schimmers test, 24 hour urine collection, ( on 3 occasions, was a bloody nightmare) neurological tests,

    I have had so many over the years, i am sure there are lots more, i can't remember other than a few all my test have been ok. when i get the results of their being a problem with some of my bloods i was shocked as i always expect negative results lol

    This used to worry me too, I've only had an ECG. If your doctor thought it was necessary, they'd send you for the tests you need so don't panic. Trust your doc that you're ok xx

    Re: Tests you have had

    Em don't let that worry you, i am 31 so alot older than you and hav been ill on and off for many years, i also have M.E too so alot of my tests were neccessary before the doctors could officially give me the diagnosis of M.E. but look at all the tests people have had and the fact that they were nearly all ok, we have spent alot of time having tests and going through the worry of waiting for results, that was alot of wasted time x

    Editing it slightly -

    For anxiety I've had 2 blood tests and 4 ecgs, and one chest x ray...

    The rest is down to illnesses and hospital admissions etc
