Hello,
I am very thankful that the third doctor I've visited is wonderful and very knowledgable on CFS. It is Dr. Garabedian of the Holtorf Medical Group, located in King of Prussia, PA. I received my lab results and would like some advice and an explanation on what they mean, before my next appointment on February 5th. And also what type of treatment I can expect. I really appreciate it!
High for Hhv 6 Igg Antibodies - 13.99
High for Parvovirus B19, Igg - 5.7 (Range: 0.0-0.8)
High for Calcitriol(1,25 Di-Oh Vit D) - 165.3 (Range: 10.0-75.0)
High for Iron, Serum - 167 (Range: 35-155)
I do not understand the high vitamin D and iron levels. I do not supplement with iron and I do not take a large amount of Vitamin D (4,000 IU/ day). I've stopped taking it now.
My symptoms are: terrible PEM after any mild exercise, no energy, depression, mood swings/ irritability, brain fog/ slow thinking, poor memory, hair loss/ dryness, dry skin, mild acne, non-refreshing sleep, cold hands and feet, joint pain, and constant swollen lymph nodes in neck. I am a 22 year old female. Also, I did have Lyme Disease when I was five years old. It started around 2010.
