Should I cry or laugh?

First of all I want to thank all of you on this board who encouraged me to go ahead with immune testing (although I was hesitating because of the price)
I just spoke with a nurse from Dr. Beer's office.
3 of the 6 tests that were done came back. I have elevated NK cells - 19. She said anything above 14 is abnormal.
Out of the testing that was done in Canada - she said Insulin is high - it is 32 which is considered "normal" here. They are going to review the rest.
I don't know if should be happy or I should cry?
I will keep you posted how it goes. So far I am diagnosed with PCOS and elevated NK.
What do you think?
Masha

I would be celebrating you now have something to treat! I suspect you'll take IVIg for the elevated NK and metformin for the elevated insulin. Both conditions are very treatable and many women have had success, including your truly--I'm praying you will too--and SOON!

Take care and keep us posted,

I would agree - celebrate! I would have KILLED for my diagnosis at age 29, instead of at age 45 when it turned out to be too late.

You are on your way, woman!
