I started a new lyme dr at the beginning of March and had blood results the last time I went. Here are some:
Low D at 21 even though I take a supplement(would even be low if I got sun with my past labs)Had to start on another at a high dose once a week.
Low red blood cells and borderline white blood cells which is usually the one that is low.
Low cortisol,dhea, and T4 even though I already take Naturethroid. Had to up the dose.T3 was at 2.6 and T4 at .66
High rdw even though I take methyl b12's.
Normal c3a(225) but high c4a at 5709
Cd3,cd4,cd8,cd19,cd16/56 were all within range. He said he was scratching his head.He thought I might be dealing with mold, Probably as coinfection. I already take cholestyramine which
has helped my migraines. I am not sure what he is going to give for mold or what you do.I am afraid to post anymore things that I am on lest they be taken away by the powers that be and become
unavailable. If I didn't have the cholestyramine that had helped my head, I would not continue to be here.Who can live trapped under a fallen house with nails piercing you day in and day out?
I get quite the fatigue and he thinks it is because my adrenals are shot and I would agree that they are but I wonder about the red blood cell count. I guess the question is who here has
had a lab like this with maybe mold as a coinfection? My lungs feel like they are very affected and it makes me winded anymore to do things that I used to, like running.Can't do.I did get an xray done last week on lungs but don't know the results.
Sorry the question is at the back. I am so tired. I should have saved this for tomorrow, not that I look forward to lying down and feeling like 1000 lbs.

Mold is a big issue for a lot of people. If the cholestyramine is helping you that much, perhaps you do have a mold exposure.

Narrow down if it's just mold. There is a visual test you can do (google), I think it's $15. Another much more expensive test but more accurate as to what type of mold would be from Realtime labs. They can send you a kit (easy).
I agree with Six, if you feel better Cholestryamine then mold is probably at least one of your issues, but mold is a big one in how it affects people. If you have chemical sensitivity, that's another red flag.
You might listen to Lisa Nagy's info from the 2012 ILADS conference (you can buy the download from ILADS).

Yes, cholestyramine helps with my migraines for the most part. I don't feel better though and sometimes I just spiral down a hole. I am not so sure the vit d high dose is such a good idea. If
I get stressed or go without sleep, I spiral.I am so sensitive to light, sound and smell that it is almost unbearable at times. I can smell things others can't. I can hear low vibrations from the boom cars that will set me on edge to the point
of praying for my death.Cannot work.Still waiting on the disab. appeal. I am mostly blind now in the one eye, can only see some light and shadows. My bladder is absolutely too much. I will sometimes be kept up at night by needing to use
the bathroom. I know I am probably dehydrated and try to force myself to drink water. The new dr thinks this is still lyme but maybe mold is more of the issue. I will know more with the dna test
that I will get back shortly to see where the mutations are too. It's just sickness soup and there has to be a way out of this hole.Sorry, I inevitably find myself complaining.Always, thanks for your help.
