What labs / tests are you POSITIVE for ?

[A zombie]

ohhh lol.. you shouldnt have told us that.. here I was thinking you'd asked us for that very reason so thinking just how smart an idea it was (and wishing I'd thought of posting something like this myself).
...................................................

I'd love to see peoples actual results too for some of those tests if they didnt mind sharing
...

My abnormalities have been (I'll post my worst results)

- Severely failed the Rombergs test (instantly went down)
- EEG abnormalities (non specific ...wrong brain wave state when my eyes are shut etc, "No normal alpha activity")
- Rhythmic Myoclonus
- Unequal pupils and response
- Hyper-reflexia
- Postive Vision Contrast testing (biotoxins)
- Frozen shoulder under 40 years (specialist said causes of this at this age is usually autoimmune related)
- Early osteroarthritis from 35 years (neck, mid back and lower back)
- IBS (diagnosed by gastro)
- Eye specialist said my eyes are aging (Im only 40, so now I need glasses)
- HPV
- Aspergers (offical diagnoses)
- Developed two leaky heart valves (I'd read that that usualy goes with Mitral Valve Prolapse)
- POTS (ive worked that out from taking my heartbeats, I meet the diagnostic criteria)
- CMV IgG antibody detected
- Toxoplasma IgG antibody detected
- Strep B (its gone now it was treated)
- Staphylocci in my nose (its gone now it was treated). Ive also had a lot of other issues too with staph infections
- DQ2/DQ8 postive (I carry the genetics for celiac disease thou my blood tests dont show I have it)
- I had bad mono
- strange rashes/skin discolourations
- very high fevers


High
- High Adrenaline (lab normal was 0-0.08 my result was 0.13 )
- hyperinsulinemia
- high AST (lab normal 0-40, my result 46)
- Hypercholestemia (ideal <5.5, my result 6.7)
- Homocystine was in normal range but specialist said was too high at my level and should be lower and indicated issue so hence got tested for MTHFR polymorphism due to that .. and tests then showed I have MTHFR polymorphism
- I had too much estrogen .. that's given me polycystic ovulation syndrome
- high TP (lab normal 65-80, mine 81)
- very high copper on hair analyses
- high Chloride (lab normal 98-109, my result 110)

Low
- low sodium (lab normal 136-146, my result 135)
- hypoglycemia, low glucose (lab normal 3.0-6.9 my result 2.4)
- low testosterone (before I got ME I had high testosterone)
- low cortisol, 24hr urine test (lab normal 50-350, mine 48), cortisol dont tend to raise when stressed or with exercise
- low Anion Gap (lab normal 10-18, mine 8)
- low M.C.H.C. (lab normal 315-355, mine 314)
- APTT (lab normal 26-39, mine 24)
- Prothrombin Time (lab normal 13-15.5, mine 12.9)
- Ferritin, low/no iron storage (strange as i eat meat or eggs 3x daily)
- molybdenium deficiency
- Severe vitamin D3 deficiency (lab norm 60-160, mine 31) (it dropped more with daily supplementation) (my D2 levels strangely thou are good. Where's my D3 going?).

Imbalances
- lots of my mineral balances are messed up.. high Calicum to Phosphorus balance, high (offchart) Calicum to Potassium, high (offchart) calicum to Magnesium, low Iron to copper balance, low zinc to copper, low sodium to magnesium.
- BP 70/55 (low) to 156/138 (high) orthostatic hypertension .. completely dysregulated BP
- Imbalance LH/FSH (reversed ratio)

On hair analyses there was an additional trace element I was well beneath reference range for... Germanium .. (it says thou However deficiency signs and conditions have not be documented in humans so therefore clinical significance cannot be placed on low germanium level at this time). Who knows.. maybe ME is a deficiency in something they dont know about yet!!

Borderline.. <White cell count and <Neutrophils (always borderline or close to it)
>ESR (mine goes up one every year so next time Im tested it will high)

.......

Thou not tested, im sure I have low glutathione as undenatured whey helps me.

lyme

Ive had lots of people tell me this but lyme doesnt show up on my tests, even when I paid lots of money to have some better ones done. Im also in australia where there is a lot of belief that we dont have lyme here at all (though I personally think that is probably not right).

Thay 's interesting Taniaaust1
Do you respond at all to antibiotics?

 

[Navid]

just got a bunch of test results back.

Have Low LD
High Glucose
High FSH
High Homocysteine
Low CD 19 B Cells

Hi Viral titers to CMV, HHV6 and EBV and Parvo Virus. Have not been able to tolerate AV treatment.

Does the low LD, high Glucose mean anything; think it plays into the energy creating system; is there anything to be done about this?

No I dont get any better symptom wise with antibiotics even though retesting showed it cleared strep and staph I had. I even had IV antibiotics when I was in hospital for double pneumonia, those didnt seem to help any of my ME symptoms at all.

Hi Navid, get yourself tested for MTHFR mutation extremely likely in those who have high homocysteine.

high glucose if it isnt diabetes level would mean you are currently what is called prediabetes and at high risk of it. Many specialists in that at that sometimes put tthose who have prediabetes onto diabetic diets to try to stop diabetes from happening. (that's what my specialist did) . You "may" feel a little bit better on a low carb diet.

post update,

since then its also been found that I have nil IgE .. from looking that up its called selective IgE deficiency http://www.uptodate.com/contents/selective-ige-deficiency , an issue which it appears not a great deal is known about. One study showed those who have this are four times more likely to have ME/CFS so there does seem to be some connection.

"- BP 70/55 (low) to 156/138 (high) orthostatic hypertension"

Since that time my BP has become even worst and now has been shown to fall at times as low as 20/0 so I have severe orthostatic hypotension at times but it is also capable of going up as high as 197 in one minute of standing. I also have found I can have narrowing of the pulse pressure (as low as 7).

Its concerning that my BP dysfunction is worsening and worsening as time goes on (does this mean my autonomic system is being more damaged? how much worst will this and can this get??

I discovered since that that with taking my supplements (I forget now which one.. I cant remember if its the vit D or the lithium supplement...that can boost white blood cells).. its brought my higher ESR down and into the mid range so obviously supplements helping to fix something.

 

[Insomniac]

Always Low Creatinin
Always Low RBC


-Tendency to low sodium
-Tendency to low iron - despite eating red meat every day and take supplements.
-Usually slightly high white blood cells - since 2007.
- Tendency to low vitamin D probably because often sleep all day.

My blood tests are considered "fine" by doctors.
I am housebound 4 days a week, unable to work. Not bed bound.

 

[Tella]

Low ferritin, WBC and RBC
Low CD4, CD8
Enterovirus in stomach biopsy tested by Dr Chia
Low glutathione
Elevated nagalase (2.1)
ACUMEN/biolab in the UK - low ATP production , poor translocator function, cell free DNA, DNA adducts, poor SOD function

Of course there are many many things not tested for that I would like such as NK cell function, regular viral testing.

How did the acumen test help in treating u? I had it done but it seems all it shows is that my body can’t produce energy efficiently...which I can see without any test! So seems a waste of money
