Hello everyone, and thank you for the welcome and the helpful information! @gingerw @cehunt57 @windyshores

@collegeprof I was hopeful someone would get a kick out of the name! 😁

I do appreciate that my values are still in a good range -- I've just been concerned about the difference in numbers and trending down again alongside this new bout of illness. I was only given 5 days of antibiotics and sensitivity testing was never performed by the hospital, so I found myself wondering if the infection might have reestablished and developed into a chronic, low-grade infection.

I've also been shuffled through several specialists so far and communication and consultation of lab work between them have not been so great, so now that an ob-gyn has ordered a CT with IV and oral contrast, I wanted to make more sense of my GFR values.

Nobody has any idea so far what's going on because the symptoms cross the spectrum -- who has time to unravel all that with so many patients and so little time?

Thank you all again for the helpful information! It's great what you do here. 🌞
