Amino Acids Test and also Vit D......can anyone help please?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I sent a long message a while ago, but I think I put too much in it,

so am re-posting the bits of my message that didn't get answered

first time around.

Here goes.....

Background: I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's (positive TPO

antibodies) and Hypothyroidism early in 2007. I haven't felt well

since. Symptoms include cloudy thinking, extreme fatigue, weight

gain, heart palpitations (since taking T4 replacement), low energy

(some days I just stay in bed and sleep for hours), dry hair,

migraines, anxiety symptoms that come and go, poor memory,

difficulties doing simple tasks that were not an issue prior to

getting ill, some fluid retention (especially puffy around eyes and

arms), dry brittle nails, eyebrows have thinned, gluten intolerance,

irregular menstrual cycle, limited mobility in right shoulder (might

not be related but I'm mentioning it anyway).

PLASMA AMINO ACIDS TEST

I've had a plasma amino acids test done, but don't fully

understand the results despite speaking to my doctor. He spoke in

general terms about amino acid deficiencies.

QUESTION: Can anyone shed further light on my test results? Any

input would be appreciated.

My low and 'out of reference range' results are as follows:

lysine 122 ( reference range 135-243)

threonine 82 (99-190)

aspartic acid 2 (3-146)

Ornithine 35 (80-150)

histidine 58 (62-150)

arginine 45 (55 -118)

tyrosine 47 (52-83)

leucine 102 (115-193)

valine 141 (188-287)

I'm high in glycine 393 (197-320)

VITAMIN D LEVELS

25 Hydroxy Vitamin D levels were 26 and more recently 58 (in range

of 60 - 160). I was given a large dose of VitD3 but it didn't seem

to do much at all. Comprehension might have improved a bit, but that

may have been incidental. Not sure.

QUESTION: Does anyone know what effects you should feel after taking

a large dose of VitD?
