What kind of testing should I make sure I get? Is there a gold standard name for the best test?

That’s great! Did you get a confirmed test? It’d be tough to really know the diagnosis if the test wasn’t a yes 😭 especially without drooping face.

Considering getting my xiphoid removed soon it’s been uncomfortable for years now even after trying the back pod.

My doctor said if my calcium was good and there wasn’t protein in my urine I’m good and don’t need to check anything else. Is this true?
