  12. I spoke to a old doctor ( his 80 ) last year after I had something which blood tests showed nothing, his reply was they want find it if they aren't testing for it, I thought about what he said and he maybe right because 8 years ago under went test to find another problem and they took 8 fills of blood out of me but the test last year they only took 3.
