Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I saw my Holistic MD on April 10th. I feel "dumb" that I forgot to ask her for prefilled B12 shots. I am visually impaired & difficult for me to see what I am doing. Plus I am giving myself the shots at home. She is the ONLY person to EVER test my Vitamin Levels in 21 YEARS of being sick. Of course I pay her out of pocket & she IS WORTH IT!!!! I was talking about this & other groups I belong to online & asked her to do some bloodwork. And she said okay let us see if we can find anything else b/c my Homosystine levels were HIGH, my B12, Folic Acid, B6 & Vitamin D, & Calcium levels were ALL low. I am a gluten free, dairy limited vegetarian for HEALTH reasons. My doc speculates that I may have had theses deficiences my WHOLE LIFE!!! Can u believe NO ONE checked before? I believe these tests should become ROUTINE personally!!! My doc ordered: APTT, CBC with Platelets, & Differential, & PT (protime)/INR because I have bruises on the backs of my legs & NO CLUE how I got them!!! Folic Acid levels, Homocystine Levels, Vitamin D, Epstein Barr Titre, HHV6 Titre, Lyme Disease, AM Cortisol, and Mercury & Lead Tests. FINALLY someone who REALLY listens to MY concerns & MY theories!!!! And it cost $95 for 15 minutes but HECK if I feel GOOD who cares the cost???! SSI is my ONLY source of income but YES, it IS worth the cost... If it mens I can be "NORMAL" for the first time in my life! I have been "sick" since I was 8 y.o. I will turn 30 this summer have no kids, no job, no husband, just a lot of missed days in school & missed oppurtunities in life!!!! When does "the GOOD STUFF start"?
