Re: SPECT/CT SCAN!!

[Guest guest]

Exciting news! So thankful you found a doctor who listened and is trying to figure this out. Keep us posted! I don't live anywhere near California, but I'll fly out there if it means getting help with 4S.

I'm trying to not get too excited but I have to tell "my people" the news . . . I asked around for a Naturopath and got a MD/Doctor's name, called and went in for the appointment this past Tuesday. He LISTENED to us and agreed that something is different. (It probably helped that I was a few steps from psycho and pretty suicidal since I'd had some bogus Fluoxetine and stopped cold-turkey: bad idea.) He respected and understood everything that I (with my husband by my side) have tried. Psychological counseling? check. EEG neurofeedback? check. Neurologist? (huge disappointment but) check. gluten free? check. B vitamins? Krill oil? yes yes. He did a ton of blood tests (heavy metals, DHEA, hormones, cortisol, etc etc.) and he authorized a SPECT/CT (like Dr. Amen is famous for). We went today and had the scan. The hospital allowed us to finance the cost for a year at zero interest. We HAD to go for it even if we have to pay for it (we've chosen

insurance with a high deductible to try to keep the cost down: we're still ahead of the game). This may be the only chance we get authorization for brain imaging (using the bogus "epilepsy" semi-diagnosis from the quack-neurologist). I'll know in a few days if it shows anything. We'll have the results from the blood tests in a week. If we need to go further, our next steps are adrenals and pituitary and allergy testing. Since we already spent a lot towards our deductible we may as well keep going: retirement account, here I come! I am hoping hoping that there's something wrong in my brain (strange but WE understand)and that is something added and not something missing! Will keep you posted . . . keep the faith. If we can find something, I'll ask the Doctor and then broadcast here so everyone in or near San Diego/LA/Orange CA can be in on it if you want. I am trying sooo hard to not be too optimistic.

Good luck! I'd be interested in hearing if anything stands out from your blood

tests as well. I have always wondered about heavy metals and cortisol...
