I understand that it means there is inflammation somewhere in the body and that you cannot find the source just from the test. My doc was quite rushed with giving the results and I didn’t have the time to question it whilst I was there as I was processing all the information being discussed!
Geez...some Dr.'s can be so obtuse or whatever you want to call it. He should have explained it better to you...BUT, patients need to be more assertive in asking questions too. If he seemed in a hurry, I'm sorry....You are paying for the Dr.'s visit, the least he could do was give you an opportunity, but it sounds like he was rushed....I'm sorry hon, what you're going through. Hang in there!!
