The current cost of the test, Kati, is £260 but on top there is a letter of interpretation that goes to the GP (as well as the patient) and that is £110. However it is increasingly difficult for anyone to get the mitochondrial function test done now as Dr Myhill is so busy that she is not taking new patients and even those who have been patients in the past are restricted depending on how recent the contact is, or in some cases just repeat tests only.
I have had the test done twice at a 4 year interval, the first time with Dr Myhill and the 2nd time with another practitioner who works using similar methods. My 2nd test showed a substantial improvement (after using recommended treatments) but I am dubious as I don't really feel I have improved very much if at all. In fact between the first and 2nd tests I had a relapse and don't feel I have ever really got back to the level I was at pre relapse
I do know of a couple of people who had the test done and it showed a better than expected result even though they were more dysfunctional than I am, (ie a much better score than I had on the test the first time) so if the test does have value those aspects would need explanation.
