Lizcosgrove, are you taking Levothyroxine?

Ferritin and folate are good. B12 is low, 1,000 is optimal. Supplement 1,000mcg methylcobalamin sublingual lozenges, spray or patches and take a B Complex vitamin to keep the other B vits balanced.

C Reactive Protein is an inflammation marker. Yours is top of range which indicates infection or inflammation somewhere in the body.

IgM2 is a herpes antibody. drjengunter.wordpress.com/2...

Serum leG is high. Have you typed the test name correctly? Google chucks up links to Restless Legs and leg serum products.

Thanks for the help I have checked and it is serum IgE. But the doctor is telling me everything is normal. I take levothyroxine 75 and 100 alternate days. Asked to have different meds but was told that's all they prescribe.

[Clutter in reply to lizcosgrove]

Liz, well the IGE result isn't at all normal because it's very elevated. There's possibly a parasitic infection causing the diarrhoea. Perhaps stool testing is warranted. labtestsonline.org/understa...

[lizcosgrove in reply to Clutter]

Had stool testing done while on holiday ang again when I came home. Both were clear. Got this result

(Salmonella not isolated )

(Shingella sp. not isolated)

(Campylobactor sp. Not isolated)

E. Coli 0157 not isolated. So I really am confused. Losing more hair droopy eye. Runny nose. And horrible body pain.

[Clutter in reply to lizcosgrove]

Liz, the elevated IgE means you are having an allergic reaction to something. Perhaps your GP could refer you to allergy clinic or specialist.

[lizcosgrove in reply to Clutter]

Thanks I have an appointment in September so I will ask again. Though I don't hold out much hope. Seem to be hitting a brick wall all the time.

I'm guessing "door tea" is a typo or an autocorrect problem, but I can't guess what it is supposed to read.
