Hi everyone.
I am doing my KPU test today. Just wondering how many of those on Lymenet tested positive.
Also, I read on Scott's site that they are now finding that they are getting more positives when HPU is also tested, in the same test from Vitamin Diagnostics.
I was wondering if anyone here knows if they were tested for HPU too?
I think I read that Vitamin Diagnostics is just now adding that as an option.
I looked at the lab form, and my doctor had checked off the Kryptopyrrol box, but he didn't check off to test HPU. Wondering if that's okay....a little worried.
It might make me feel better if I knew some people here did test positive on just the KPU. Or, should I call my doctor and ask that I could be tested for both? Hmmmm.
Thanks!

Hoos, I really need to be tested for this myself.
How much did it cost?

Larkspur,
Sorry! I cleared it out some.
Disturbedme,
It costs $55 for the test, then you pay for the overnight shipping too I think.

I tested high positive at Bio Center Labs 1-800-494-7785 It was for KPU only.Medicare pd for it and it was one sample not all day. My doc has gotten lots of positives from it. If he does get a neg and feels the patient has KPU symptoms, he then uses the other lab and tests KPU and HPU.
