Hi everyone
I've been away for ages because I've been quite sick, and still am, so apologies for being so antisocial when you've all been so nice to me. I have recently started on the Yasko protocol but have not had the genetic testing yet. One thing I have been tested for, however, is the full blood panel, of which they are numerous abnormalities. The PCP would not discuss it with me, however, so I am unsure what else is wrong besides the anemi: hemoglobin (2 g/dl), hematocrit (11%) AND ferritin (5...something.. don't recall the measurement). I am extremely concerned about this.Yet, all the PCP does is rx ferrous sulphate, which I cannot tolerate at all.
Other tests I've had recently reveal extremely high ammonia levels, toxic high mercury, h-pylori, candida, an unidentified helminth, numerous protozoa; in addition to estrigen dominance, below normal T4 (I have Hashimoto's but cannot absord levothyroxine any more), low-rock bottom cortisol, and way way below normal aldosterone. I believe my methylation system is close to non functioning; there is no SNP (listed by Yasko) that I do not exhibit symptoms of.
Could anyone advise a supplement I could take? Dietary modifications cannot be implemented because there is virtually nothing I can eat any more (yet due to the Hashimoto's I'm still obese and gaining approx 1lb per month). I cannot tolerate gluten, lactose, casein, soya, sulphites, thiols, anything that increases glutamate, or any form of b12; either they make me ill within hours-days, or they accumulte over time and result in the severely high ammonia and mercury levels I have now.
If anyone would be kind enough to help, it is much appreciated, thanks.
