I am a very complicated case as told by many doctors. I found some records that puzzled me one day and did finally approach my rheumy with these results on some
Porphyria tests done in 1996. These are the lab reports and what would you say to do?
My doctors at that time ruled them bad lab errors...rheumie is having them repeated.
