Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hey, ! Missed you! It's hard to interpret the labs without knowing what the actual values are. Do you have that info? Like ACE; most labs report normal values around 8-52, so if your ACE was 54 that would be high, but not as significant as if it was 150. Can you get the actual values? We've got a couple of websites for lab results in recent messages; there is one in the Links that I like: http://www.labtestsonline.org Ramblin' Rose Moderator From: anci3ntgoddess@...Reply-To: Neurosarcoidosis To: Neurosarcoidosis Subject: Lab TestsDate: Tue, 23 May 2006 13:51:59 EDT anyone know what these mean??

The usual tests that a doctor would run at an annual physical (CBC plus differential, electrolytes) can be useful just to make sure those things are ok. Perhaps an annual physical is covered by insurance? An essential elements hair test from DDI is useful to do initially. It can be obtained without a doctor from www.directlabs.com for less than $100.00 (can't remember exact cost). Some doctors will do this test at cost (was about $47.00 when I did it) while others tack on a large cut for themselves. If you suspect an adrenal problem the most useful test would be a 4x per day saliva test. I can't remember the cost. Check out the canary club (see if there is a link in the links section). For thyroid the most useful tests are free T4, free T3 and antithyroid antibody tests. Also for thyroid and adrenals the most useful information comes from symptoms. Check your symptoms against lists of hypothyroid and adrenal insufficiency symptoms. and how much they would cost. > I am now one month after amalgam removals and have had a bad response > to DMSA so am reluctant to try that again.

Check what " Amalgam Illness " says about that (I think there is a test but can't recall what it is at the moment. That was one of the symptoms that Andy had and it went away with chelation. In archives there are posts where he mentions his experience (see Moria's compilation of the Andy Index). J > Yours gratefully . > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 > > Many don't understand the adrenal connection, but it happened to me personally, I had a DO willing to give me Armour thyroid but wouldn't do adrenals, so I went ahead and tried it, and crashed very hard every afternoon and started feeling worse after a few weeks on Armour and finally quit. Exact same thing happened to me, but I stayed on a too-low dose of Armour with no adrenal support for -ack!- years. >And both of you, don't feel bad, I also found the adrenal and thyroid stuff very confusing, and it took me a really long time of reading about it before it started to sink in and I did something about it. But finding a doctor who gets it is the other problem. Ditto to every word. And I keep commenting on this because I so wish the importance of adrenal support had sunk in sooner. The brain fog makes it hard to understand, the fatigue and anxiety makes it seem impossible to find a doctor -- but it helped me more than anything else. What I ended up doing was taking the Canary Club test and taking it in to the DO, who rx'd HC on the spot. My one lucky doctor moment.
