Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Alisha, Lamar here, I congratulate you for your attitude. I am the same way. If they want to look, measure, prick, prod, or shock me and it has a possibility of helping future generations, I will not object. I have had several NCV's and EMG's. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I do not know if it is due to me having decreased sensation, having a high pain threshold, or me not minding electricity, but they are only slightly uncomfortable to me. When they used a TENS on my back and an injured arm I would turn it much higher to get relief. I don't doubt others when they say they hurt a lot, but they are not the same to everyone, just as our other symptoms differ. To me they are not nearly as bad a pain as having a tooth filled when the local is wearing off, or having sutures put in without a local. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alisha Peckham Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 11:14 PM Subject: [] Re: testing alisha here, i was tested by DNA, EMG, NCV and family history. the EMg and NCV hurt a lot and yet i am still going back in for more testing for other things, i am in serveral studies so i go where they tell me to!! _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hi.. My Son has CMT also. He had a emg when he was 16 and the doctor put in his file that it is suspected he has CMT. The doctor wanted to do more testing fo confirm. But my son refused. I have CMT so we know he has it..has all the signs. But he didnt want it known that he had the disease. At that time, it was because he was involved in sports in school and was afraid they wouldnt let him play. He has fought CMT and will not give in to it and refuses to accept that he has it. He is 25 now. He has tremors in his hands and fatigues easily. He works for a company that requires some physical strength and he feels, if they should find out that he has CMT they will find a reason to let him go. So he tells no one. He also is afraid health insurance companies will deny him benefits. Sad he has to protect himself this way. So for now, that is his choice.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hi: I have CD, and after hearing about what my symptoms have been and how I've been feeling before and after changing my diet, my sister has decided to get tested as well. But for some strange reason, her doctor doesn't seem to know how to administer the test, what to look, how the test works, and it sounds like her doctor doesn't really even know much about this disease. Would someone be willing to tell me how this blood test works (I know they draw blood, but that's all I can remember), what the doctor should be looking for, requesting, etc.?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi Pamela: My allergist suggested Xolaire but didn't mention a blood test. I wondered if it would be a good idea before committing to a shot. Is testing generally done in other areas? Carol Pamela Boucher wrote: My respiroligist called me back and my IGE was 91 not 591. This means that I would only need Xolair 1/month at a cost of approx 13,000.00 Cdn per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I was tested to see if I was a candidate for xolair.. I will find out the results Nov. 30 . It is a simple blood test... Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 You have ti have an IGE level before starting Xolair. Allergy testing can also be done by blood. Most allergists prefer skin testing. So, the only blood work you have to have is the IgE test. Pat --------------------------------- FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thank you to evryone who replied to my post reguarding getting retested for celiac. The information was helpful. Especially thanks to the poster who gave the name of a gastro doctor in Vallejo. I will ask my general doctor for a referral to see her. Has anyone here been food allergy tested before the blood test? And do food allergies run together with celiac or are they totally seperate things? That is what got me started with a gluten free diet. A wheat and milk allergy was discovered after headaches so bad that I had an MRI. I felt like a whole new person that I never knew once I went gluten free. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
