My Globulin is always elevated and A/G ratio always low and my doctor says she sees no issues. Is this normal? Amy doctor also had me get a Protein Electrophoresis test which she said was normal but the notes for the test stated that I have a few oligoclonal bands in my gamma region…what does that even mean? My doctor didn’t mention it but it’s in my notes. She did state that she feels like something is going on with me just don’t know what yet. Maybe the wrong tests are being ordered for me…idk I’m just ready for some type of explanation(I have many symptoms and none have really subsided and some come and go). Tenderness all over, chronic fatigue, sore muscles, stiff joints, numbness/tingling in hands/feet, upset stomach, nausea, constipation , gastritis, vision issues, random swelling in throat that radiates to my ears making them feel full, headache only on right side in temple area, moderate upper/lower back pain, moderate pain in my pelvic bone on the right side(hurts for me to stand, walk, lay for long periods of time. Dizziness and Cold Urticaria being episodes that comes and goes. I can go a year or two without having them..then boom I’m spinning and seeing weird color spots or I’m having an allergic reaction to everything cold. Also the inside of my nose have been red and swollen for over a year(not congested with mucus just swollen). My allergist says according to my most recent allergy test I no longer have allergies(is that possible? I had about 6+ allergies indoor/outdoor in 2018 and was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. I now no longer have those allergies in 2021 and now have non allergic rhinitis according to my allergist). My nasal swelling has not responded to nasal steroids, nasal antihistamines, oral antihistamines(I’ve tried them all), nasal rinses, nasal steams, or decongestants. The only thing my nasal inflammation responds to aid Dristan( oxymetazoline which you can’t take everyday). Also my lungs have been feeling worse since this nasal inflammation has started. My lungs feel inflamed as well and irritated(my lungs feel real tight when I try to take a deep breath(I also have asthma). Also both of my ankles swelled up for no reason in May after I moved to my new place(ER nurse said it was lymphedema and left it at that. When I was finally able to see my doctor the swelling was gone so she couldn’t say). And last year my right fingertips were swollen for a few weeks kind of lighter looking at the tips and my doctor was puzzled…she couldn’t explain that either lol. She said maybe you have some rare autoimmune thing going on that I can’t figure out lol. Maybe I need a new doctor lol
