Hi, I am new. I have had CFS for 3 years now. It started after a throat infection and I have never had tick bites as far as I know. I have some of my test results back (see some of the results below from RED and Armin Labs) and am trying to get smarter before speaking to the doc next month.
The high ammonia levels are consistent with my brain fog and muscle weakness. Then there are a number of elevated inflammation markers (in the brain and elsewhere). I read that high levels of quinolinic acid can cause depletion of tryptophan levels which depletes melatonin and serotonin levels.
I am currently taking Zinc, Mg, HTP5, melatonin, omega-3, Glutathione, Resveratrol and 5mg Stilnox. I have been on a healthy diet and started drinking celery juice in the morning since that apparently helps relieve the liver/kidneys who are dealing with my ammonia.
Any ideas / insights appreciated in what KdM may prescribe based on below.
Thanks
