The chicken or the egg?????HELP

March 23, 2002

Hi Gang,

Many of you know me and know I don't post a lot because I don't feel

qualified (unless its for group support). I need to ask if anyone has

had experiences with/or knowledge of unusual blood test results. I am

only DX'd so far with Orthosatic Hypotension w/autonomic problems. I

do have many other

symptoms>> neuropathy, spasms w/ twitching, poor gait, balance

problems, low body temps,etc etc.I have been having numerous stomach

problems and test show gall bladder, thyroid, liver, pancreas, and

kidney problems. The wonderful gastro doc and my neuro have been

working to try and DX me while treating my symptoms. This included a

battery of test with numerous abnormal results.(We expected some of

them). The most baffling are the latest blood test. Too low insulin

on fasting> ( I believe I have read that is a problem with some here).

Many high levels of unusual metals, cadmium and aluminum are the most

prominate. I saw a specailist for this Thursday, and he said he

thought it was a joke (fake test from my doc)because the cadmium

levels were so high, he has never heard of another living

person 'ever' to have these levels. It is usually encountered in

industrial accidents. At this point they are not sure

if these toxins caused my medical problems OR if there could be a

malfunctioning protein in me disabling my body to rid toxins. I know

this area is wayyyyy beyond most of us including my doctors. However,

it was suggested for me to ask this group if anyone else has

encountered anything similar. Could be all of my problems stem from

metal poisionings OR because of my autonomic problems my body cant

get rid of toxins... So thus the " chicken or egg " . They are going to

try to set up a 'spring cleaning' for my blood to get the toxins out.

The doctor says I'm a rare bird. (LOL I know Bill is going to comment

on that). So surgery is on hold for the gall bladder until this is

addressed.In hopes this is causing all the problems with my organs.

Sorry for such a long post, but needed to explain details

to post this question....... Thanks gang, w/ hugs... Rose
