mast class four antibodies??

[Guest guest]

how do you find out that you have mast class four antibodies to fusarium or

anything else? what kind of additional testing should I have? my doctor is

very open to doing the right tests but the ELISA showed nothing -- I had high

IgE levels but nothing specific.

I think we are going to move to another apartment within a few weeks on the

other side of the complex. But I am wary because I still don't know

specifically what is causing my symptoms.

thanks

Lori,

I'm not real Ig knowledgeable but I think the

test tests more things than the MAST test I

had. A MAST test includes IgE and IgG testing.

I think tests that and more. I came out

with very high IgG which either shows my immune

system is fighting mold in environment or in my

body and I DO have swollen sinuses in head and in

front of eyes according to pictures of head taken

and doctor looking inside. I test low in IgE

which means not too allergic. Also allergy

testing at Dallas Environ Clinic reveals

allergies but of a mild manner so that is in line

with MAST test, that I do not have a lot of

allergies. Further proof that my inclination to

rash lately is more likely liver problem since

I'm not very allergic to things according to both

skin tests and blood tests. Look at your Elissa

test and see. If your IgG and IgE's were tested,

you have had a MAST test already included in

(I THINK), like I said no expert, a bit

confused by Immuno stuff.

I think is IgG, IgA, IgM and IgE, all of

them. You may be bothered by some other toxin in

your environment. At the Dallas center a person

was there due to formaldehyde exposure and had

exact same symptoms scenerio as me. Also lead

myself. Toxins are toxins and there aren't all

fungal toxins. You may check 'scoreboard.org' to

see what toxins or air pollutants are in your

vicinity. You may live near a factory that is

spewing something, and have some mold too.

Combination effect magnifies everything. I was

pretty much tolerating mold in my house. It just

had given me nasal allergies to cat and grass,

etc. However then I got a big dose of lead paint

dust and that seems to have pushed me over the

edge, so can be a combination of things.

Thanks, this is helpful. Interesting you mentioned lead. I am wondering now

about lead as a possibility.

I know they are not perfect but I did buy some home testing kits at Home Depot

today and I also got the lead testing one which I may use.

The test I had, which my doc said was ELISA, only showed IgE results. I have to

make another appointment this week to discuss the results and I will ask him for

some more info about it. Thanks for scoreboard.org, too
