Did you have any abnormalities show up in your bloodwork (anything outside reference ranges or close to the min/mac)?

Did they rule out:
-Infections (viral/Lyme disease/tuberculosis)
-Autoimmune Disorders (RA/lupus/Hashimoto's)
-Gout
-Fibromyalgia
-Medication/Allergic Reactions
-Metabolic Disorders (hyperthyroidism/vitamin D and calcium deficiency)
-Systemic Conditions (diabetes/kidney disease)

Did they do a spinal tap and bone scan?

You may want to see a hematologist/oncologist to review all bloodwork and determine the right specialist to follow-up with.

Did they rule out any potential genetic issue or cancer? Losing weight is concerning.

Thanks so much for your follow up it means a lot to me. Absolutely, I had a barrage of tests during my two visits and they ruled out quite a few things which I was grateful for. They just were not able to give me any answers at all and kind of left me hanging there. I did have two Immunoglobulin IgM tests that were very low and some free light chain tests that came back high. My research indicated these were results that I should be concerned about and needed some definite followup. My internal medicine doctor that at Mayo didnt really focus on this and I had to bring it up. He finally set up an immunology follow up at Mayo. I have decided to find someone local who can assist with this. Just concerning for sure. Thanks again for you comments.
