Blood tests

Well these were probably the worse so far in my life.
BUN - 29 high
Creatinine Serum - 2.69 low
GFR - 20
Potassium - 5.3 high
Chloride - 114 high
Carbon Dioxide - 18 low
Protein total - 4.3 Alert
Albumin - 2.2 low
A/g Ratio - 1.0 low
cholesterol - 524
Triglycerides - 324 high
HDL - 43 normal
VLDL - 65 high
LDL - 416
Microalbumin - 9252.6 high

Ever feel that there is just something they are missing? I most certainly do. Focusing on the CKD and Asthma...what if they are missing something?
going back on Lipitor, Prednisone and now adding Accosomething for my Asthma. I just don't think this is going to turn out good.

Always on the positive even when your negative

I strive to stay positive even when negative. Some days it is way harder than other days.
Especially when your nauseous and head achy. I had blood tests last month and guess what my doctor said about my GFR going down to 26?
"Oh the labs always make mistakes."
Yep that is what I deal with here in the high desert.
So, I will move on to yet another doctor.
What is awesome is that I WOKE up this morning!!
Update since 2008:

Pills - only take 2 BP meds, Lasix as needed and Reglan for nausea. I also take Omega Fish Oil, Baby aspirin and an antihistimine. The doctor now says I have adult onset Asthma. So I have an inhaler with me all the time.
I bruise all over my knees, arms and stomach very easily now. I am exhausted by 4 pm and asleep by 5:30ish. I need a nap to keep going through the day.
I have noticed simple things are being forgotten. Like how to turn my stereo in the car down, or the heater on in my apt. Sometimes I drive around an area a bit before I remember where I am turning. I'm just tired. Why can't they figure out how to get the energy levels back to us, I mean if it is only that!
Well time for sleep...going to Fright Fest tomorrow!
