I have had more labs drawn and just curious to know if many of you have also had chronic wbc counts during treatment. My total wbc count has always been low and absolute monocytes and eoisonophils are very low. Hopefully this will improve as my body gets stronger. Has anyone had this in treatnent and notice blood work to return to normal levels during treatment. Many of my test results point to lupus, with chronic bruising, joint pain, hair easily falling out, organ damage, and extreme yeast overgrowth, my rheumatologist won't give a diagnosis because no antibodies show up even though there is no definitive test for lupus, and I know that it really matters with this treatment, but sometimes it would be nice to have some answers to why things are happening. Matia agrees that whatever I have is autoimmune in nature, but she keeps reassuring me that this will improve and doesn't matter that western MDs won't give me a definitive diagnosis. Is it bad that I just want a diagnosis to have something to go off of so Dr's don't just scratch their heads when I walk into their office with crazy blood work and no diagnosis, so instead they blame my alternative treatment approach telling me I am killing myself by taking herbs. Let's get real people I would be killing myself if I took all the western meds they want to cram down my throat!
Hello,
Hello,
Ever since woking with Matia, I've tried to avoid all medical contact, tests, medication, and what have you, unless I felt that the posible outcome of ignorming it was fatal in nature...sometimes that's really hard to discern. So many things have corrected themselves over the last four years. If you recall hearing my list OVER and OVER again - close your eyes : ) Irregular PAP smears - told I'd probably get cervical cancer, ear drums that were nearly closed, bad eye site, extreme sinus headaches -Oh and false UTI's - sometimes I forget that's what brought me here. There's the routine dandraf-gone-lizard elbows-sensodyne tooth paste for tooth pain-a completely white tongue-oh - colon polops - not a one at last visit - lovely experience. I keep thinking that my innanrds are getting prettier and prettier day by day.
For me - alot of tests have just been plain crap.
Denise, thanks for that post!
