So I just got some lab results. Don't have my appt with the LLMD until May but I have an app on my phone that sends me the results.

I will be posting the abnormal ones to get some feedback.

Here goes:

M. Pneumoniae AB IGG >5 H

Vitamin D, 25 OH Total 28 L

herpesvirus 6 1:160 H ....interpretation says past infection

C. Albicans IGA 1.0 H

Thoughts?

When faced with pain you have two choices....either quit and accept the circumstances, OR make the decision to fight with all the resources you have at your disposal.

Ask your doctor to be sure, but I'd suspect the M. Pneumoniae IgG is due to past infection...

Vit. D is low - suggests you need to supplement. If you are already supplementing, you may need more and/or to make sure you are getting Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) instead of Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) because the D3 is better absorbed and used by the body than the D2.

Herpesvirus 6 - go with the interp on that one...

Candida - not surprising. Are you allergic to yeast (baker's, brewer's, nutritional)? If yes, then this is also possibly a cross-reaction...so best to discuss with the doctor. And make sure you are taking probiotics...

The obligatory disclaimer: The above is my own opinion, and I am not a doctor. Please discuss all test results with your physician.

Take care,

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing in looking at it. Everything else concerning lyme and cos has been a bit confusing for me, I'm now over thinking the obvious.

Not allergic to anything that I know of.

Philly~ Here's some info on HHV-6: http://www.hhv-6foundation.org/ My titers were higher than yours....1:640 (then 1:320). I was put on valcyte and did see some improvements. One person with your titers got well on valcyte (read on the patient forums). So, I would not completely ignore those test results.

You also might want to consider getting tested for enteroviruses at ARUP lab: http://chronicfatigue.stanford.edu/infections/entero.html

Since your Mycoplasma test is high, you might want to get retested at Focus lab. http://www.focusdx.com/focus/1-reference_laboratory/search_frame.asp?searchOptionScope=2&S1=1&S2=1&test=&sp=40735&Keyword=mycoplasma%20pneumonia#an_40735

Best, Timaca
