Lab results

[Guest guest]

In a Urine test 24 hr. all the hormones are mesured if your LH an FSH is very

low in this test then your secondary.

tested for primary/secondary, part of my examination included a MRI to look for

a tumor (adenoma). Supposedly, these tumors are identified by their size,

location and hormone they interfere with. Testosterone is supposed to be a

hormone subsidary to Prolactin so if you have a tumor preventing the production

of Prolactin (A Prolactinoma) you will inevitably produce low testosterone as a

result.

Or at least that's how I thought it worked.

What would be revealed in a urine exam that would serve as an indicator of

secondary? It's possible I may have taken one before. I don't remember. However,

that would have been very early in my diagnosis when my doctors were telling me

very little, .....well less than very little.

Yes , this is the one ordered by Dr. . I am just waiting

now for the specimen to get to the lab and him to get the results, and

his secretary to send me some notification...very impatiently

,

I have not yet gotten any response from Dr about those test

results. I sent them last Monday, and my credit card has already been

hit with the bill, so I am going to email his secretary today. He

should have had the results faxed to him by now I would think.

God Bless,

There is a parent interpretation file written by Dr. Rossignal on the

chelatingkids2 group.

" Moderate " is actually quite significant. I read it but then ran

into Dr. Rossignal at the NAA conference and he reviewed it /

explained it more plain terms.

How's your lead? You really need to check out the interpretation.

Not all Dr.s are familiar with this test - but, Rossingal/Bradstreet

are really among the top active DAN! based MD's in the country.

my understanding of the results of iodine loading test is that anything (according to Brownstein) over 90% is good, you don't need iodine. If the sat level is below 45% , then you are deficient in iodine.bridgettbur <bridgettbur@...> wrote: I just got the results back from my iodine overload test.

That TSH is incredibly low! I'm impressed that you were provided

with T3 and T4 results too. What were your results before you

started taking thyroxine?

Hi Jane,

Looking at the T4/T3 results you are not overtreated- how do you

feel? It is important not to take thyroid meds on the day of the test until

after blood has been drawn, as that can lead to results looking 'bewtter'

than they actually are.

Subject: lab results

morning everyone; i got my results yesterday. these are after being

on 50 mg thyroxine for 8 weeks

it also says on the lab form:

i had antibodies done as well but those results arn't back yet.

on the strength of these i have been referred to the endo

your thoughts please

It took almost four months for Noah's HHV-6 levels to come out of hiding. His

levels kept rising (currently 1:320), so we switched to Famvir. Have you

compared your current level to his previous level? Noah's initial test results

were equivocal and then rose.

Zinc and Vit A help with the conversion of T4 to T3. You should take Iodine as this is the foundation to the thyroid hormone.

I received my lab results. Everthing was normal except the Free T3 it was low at 225 (230-420 is normal). WOndering if I should take iodine and what everyone else would do in this situation.

This was similar to our experience with our middle son. The titers came out of

hiding, started to go down and then spiked again for some reason. We switched to

Famvir and they're coming down again.

Hi Martha-

I don't really know the answer, but it's similar to our experience (w/Famvir). 

My son's HHV6 was hanging around 1:10 for the first year and a half or more. 

Then (just about a month after having checked the HHV6 in fact), there was a

sudden change in the way my son's eyes " moved " ... they had already been much

brighter and had good eye contact, but suddenly, his eyes " lead " his head,

instead of him turning his head and then focusing on something.  It's hard to

describe, other than, you couldn't make eye contact w/him until he was facing

you, but suddenly he was cutting his eyes to the side to look at you and smile

.... something you don't notice people doing naturally until someone who never

had suddenly does.      At our next consult, he ordered the HHV6 again and it

was 1:600 something (or maybe 300 something - bad memory sorry).  It was, in his

case, a definite positive.

It has never been high again - it's back to 1:10.  I don't know how long that

took because it wasn't checked again for a long time.  I'm not sure, either,

what other lab markers may have changed during that time, if his immune panel

was any different, or what.  All I know is that it timed with something

extraordinary, even after his progress had been so excellent the whole time.

I think to make that guess, you'd have to review a whole collection of markers

.... the CBC, the immune panel, natural killer cells, etc.  Are you seeing Dr G?

HTH-

Hello all,

I wondered if anyone could verify if our HHV6 is finally coming out of

" hiding " . The last results from October indicated that they were 1:80 but

today we got a result of 1:320. Is this what we think it is after 6 long

months of no change in HHV6? Is this a significant enough of a change to

warrant success of the Valtrex?

Thanks so much for your feedback. We are so anxious to have some affirmation

that we are on the right track.

Hi, Alisa. Activity on the list has been so low the past few days [i

guess due to preparations for the holidays] that you might have to post

the results a time or two to get someone versed in these matters to

interpret them. I'm personally not sure what are the results and what

are the ranges. However, it does appear to me that some of them are out

of range if I'm looking at it right. In particular I'm thinking the TSH

is over 60 while it should be under 5.

Best,

Alisa-

Were your labs fasting labs? That is did you not eat prior to having the

labs drawn?

Because , if they were fasting labs, there are several problem areas/ or red

flags here.

Your lipids, the triglycerides, cholesterol, HGL and the ratio all indicate

that you are at high risk for having a heart attack or stroke.

The glucose is also a concern and indicates that you need to be screened for

diabetes. As well does your Hemaglobin A1C.

It also looks like your body is binding your iron up which makes it

unavailable for use so you become anemic. Which is conformed with your CBC

results. You are anemic.

Your thyroid labs show that you are hypothyroidism. You need to get some

more labs. You need a thyroid antibody test, a reverse T3 test and a free T3

test.

What thyroid med are you on?

Hi ,

 

   Thank you so much for the feedback.  For this particular lab, I remember

eating a few peanut butter crackers prior to my appointment.  I didn't know he

was planning on taking blood.

 

  I'm wondering if any of these symptoms are a result of side effects from

Seroquel.  My doctor prescribed it about two years ago for insomnia.  I'm only

taking 200mg before bed but ever since I started taking it I've gained a

significant amount of weight rapidly.

 

  Can you please tell me what labs I need to request to assess my B-12 levels.

Also, I've been taking iron supplements since I found out about the anemia,  but

if there is a better treatment I would like to hear any suggestions you may

have.

 

  Thank you so much for your advice and recommendations.

 

  Best,

  Alisa

Alisa-

Were your labs fasting labs? That is did you not eat prior to having the

labs drawn?

Because , if they were fasting labs, there are several problem areas/ or red

flags here.

Your lipids, the triglycerides, cholesterol, HGL and the ratio all indicate

that you are at high risk for having a heart attack or stroke.

The glucose is also a concern and indicates that you need to be screened for

diabetes. As well does your Hemaglobin A1C.

It also looks like your body is binding your iron up which makes it

unavailable for use so you become anemic. Which is conformed with your CBC

results. You are anemic.

Your thyroid labs show that you are hypothyroidism. You need to get some

more labs. You need a thyroid antibody test, a reverse T3 test and a free T3

test.

What thyroid med are you on?
