Blood test - ArminLabs
When I realized the children medical care in Sweden had trouble diagnose my son I started to search for answers myself.
My first thought was it was borreliosis and I read that swedish medical care didn´t belive in chronic lyme disease. My son and me went in september 2016 to Stockholm for bloodtest to send to ArminLabs in Germany. Optimal Hälsa helped us with that.
We got a list with symptoms and as coxsackie was high on the symptoms list they provided we went for that too. I didn´t had the money to do all the tests at that time.
The test got back negative for lyme but rocket high titers of both cocksackie A and B.
The test also showed low CD3+ and low CD57+ NK-cells that could indicate chronic immune-suppression, with can be caused by borrelia burgdorferi or other bacteria. (strep? bartonella?)
Our home - mold?
In the autumn 2016 I asked the owner of our house to investigate if we could have trouble with mold. The test they did, didn´t show any mold problems in the apartment. But I know we had mold in our bathroom years before when Arvid was growing up and my mother has been living in a mold house.
EIS-scanning
In December 2016 I tried to turn to alternative medicine. We did it at nh2. The woman we meet did see Arvids dilated pupills. She did the EIS-scanning, living and dry blood analysis. We didn't got much answers with us from that.
Stool test - Germany
In february 2017 I sent at stool test to InvitaLab, Germany. I used a Levfrisk in Sweden for help with that. The test show Presence of marked dysbiosis.
DNA test - 23andme
In December 2017 I sent saliva to 23andme for a DNA test. I did this both for Arvid and me to get at reference. And for the genes it´s ALOT to read about and learn... but at a first look at the MTHFR Arvid has both A1298 and C677T heterogeneous. 1298 from me it seeams and C677 from his father.
Look at the picture below to to assess the scale at how bad that is. I only "store" 30 % compared to
Arvid 80%!! Read more about MTHFR here: https://www.amymyersmd.com/2017/07/what-is-an-mthfr-mutation-and-what-to-do-about-it/
Hairanlaysis for minerals and toxins
In March 2018 I sent hairsample for Arvid and me to analysis. We had very different results. Below is Arvids results, it showed high levels of Natrium (Na-Sodium) and Kalium (K-Potassium). The ratios was high on Na/Mg, Ca/Mg and low on Na/K and Ca/K.
Additional Elements: On the left is Arvids result and on the right mine. Rather interesting that he has that high Rubidium levels even though we live together and eat pretty much the same food.
Our home - mold thoughts still
In September 2018 I bought a own test for mold, but it didn't show anything. So I really hope that's the case. Have had some thoughts about if it could be something triggering in our home as Arvid isn't getting back to where he was before he got worse.
Nästa steg? - om Arvid inte blir bra/bättre. Functional Medicin om Pans/Pandas behandlingar dras in... borde fungera så i hela vården...blir dyrt... https://funmed.se/behandlingsmojligheter/
