Whew! Waiting is the worst isn't it?

I'm SO glad it's not luekemia. Hopefully, the additional tests will help pin down what you're needing?

That Dr. sounds like a keeper to me! :D

The CMP is a "Complete Metabolic Panel". I don't know what your doc prescribed for B-12 or Vitamin D defficiency, but I've seen from other very good posters that sub-lingual drops of Vit. B-12 work well. And I'm a believer in Vitamin D-3 drops (purchased at a health food store.) I wonder how your calcium level is, that's another blood test, a "Basic" and I'm not giving you medical advice, but wonder if you're taking Calcium Citrate +D3, it might be worth researching.

So very happy with your good news! Yay!

I was taking sublingual B-12 (and biotin) before the corn intolerance hit. I have not been able to find any that have no gluten/corn/flavor/color. I may have to have them compounded. I DID however, order some "Women's Symmetry" multi vitamins on the recommendation of a friend on this forum. I started taking them last Friday. Of course, I might not be absorbing them, but it can't hurt.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application. And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful...

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.
