I need help in figuring out the next steps concerning the test results on Stained Blood Film from Fry Labs. I have noticed various comments on the blog dating back to 2008 concerning the reliability of Fry Labs. I am not sure whether I should discount the Film test results while all other test results are negative or investigate the test results further. My confusion is also compounded as I am no longer using the physician that ordered the Fry Lab tests and my current physician is skeptical of Fry Labs from prior experience.
And after 2 years of peeling back the onion layers and much money spent, I am frustrated as no one can explain what is causing my health issues. I am a single mom and now challenged in working full-time due to my health challenges with fatigue, numbness in arms and headaches. I welcome any advice or feedback on recent experiences with similar test results from Fry Labs.
For reference, below is an extract from my test results.
Fry Labs Results Stained Blood Film Test: - Moderate (11-20 organisms per total fields observed) coccobacilli adherent to erythrocytes...suggestive of epierythrocytic bacteria or unspecified infectious and/or parasitic disease. - Few biofilm community-like structures observed. - ...studies by Fry Laboratories show that these organisms could be Protozoal, Phylyum unknown.
Below is background on my health history and fluctuating symptoms since 2013. Prior to 2013, I had zero health issues.
Background: - May 2013: diagnosed having a mini stroke (memory loss, cognitive impairment, coordination issues, etc). Since May 2013, brain fog and memory issues continue (apprx 75%). Both arms and hands go numb on a daily basis. Severe headaches. Extreme fatigue. Night sweats. Hair loss. - July 2013 to present: diagnosed with iron deficient anemia, low IgG, hypothyroidism, adrenal deficiency, depression and heavy metals. Iron markers go in normal range only with doubling to tripling daily iron requirement. - Spinal Tap for MS testing: Negative - tested multiple times for lyme Abt: Negative
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR INPUT.

Bringing this up- I know nothing about Fry labs, but hoping others will help if they see this post.

Not sure about reading Fry's tests. The bugs know how to hide regardless of testing, that's why LLMDs treat the symptoms.
I see you have night sweats, headaches, extreme fatigue, hands go numb. Anything else or is that it? Your symptoms could also be babs, bart lyme even if you tested negative for them.

I have (had) similar symptoms. Maybe I can help you by telling what helped and what didn`t. I did the fry lab tests.
Can you please write down what treatment you habe already done and what caused some herx, improvement or backslide?
Do you have food intolerances? So you are you are negative for lyme by western blot? did you do a chlamydia pneumoniae test? Mycoplasma?
Antibiotics? Herbs?
Skin symptoms? especially very little needle prick like red dots? small pustular like red bumps? any rash like signs. Spider veins, broken veins or something like that? stool changes e.g. colour? Do you have or had dry cough?? Mouche Volantes in your eyes? (these are fuzzy like things, some call it flies in your eyes)

mine were on the front side of the upper legs and on the backside of my upper arms. I do not mean the small haemangioma. I suggest to use google picture search with keywords bartonella skin or babesia skin or bartonella red dots or babesia red dots to find some examples. can be parasitic i.m.o. as well. are you from germany?

Iron deficient anemia is a sign of parasites. Curious if you have any of the symptoms in the link below.
