Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 I have lyme and didn't know until about two years ago. I was dx with CFIDS for almost 20 years. No Dr I went to had ever mentioned lyme. During the years I did every thing that I heard about and went to every type of Dr that was. The test with metametrix that I was wondering about is a ION Panel that tests metabolic pathways. If anyone has done this test could you please let me know if you think it is accurate? IT is not covered and kind of expensive and I want to feel like it is a test that is reliable. Thanks, sandy Quote
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Sandy IMO it is pretty pointless doing most tests when the fundamentals of dehydration-low blood volume- toxicity effected red blood cells and a number of other factors... basically don't favour getting most types of tests. What I'm basically saying is that if you took someone suffering some of the age related diseases and dehydrated them... you wouldn't get a true picture of what is really going on in this person.like putting the cart before the horse.I would tend to focus my efforts on the big issues before spending a razoo on all the crap diagnostics on offer. I would tend to waste my ebnergy and money on stuff you can get both hands around- an egs. may be a great scan of the head/ sinus to see the damage infections cause..Or just asking your doctor for a smarter lab report on simple things like percentages of malformed red cells..Just accumulate all the little things to get yourself a picture of why you suffer ill health don't go for the fashionable stuff that most people throw around-egs. amalgams causing mercury toxicity and all the waffle that goes with that.. > > I have lyme and didn't know until about two years ago. > > I was dx with CFIDS for almost 20 years.
