Been to hospital over last two days. Am now more confused than ever. Had my urine sample taken, then had two ETDA IV pushes. Collected urine samples. Spoke with doc who said its obvious from your fecal test that you are overloaded with a metal. From the urine test in a couple of weeks we'll see how much by. Then keep chelating you till you come down to a normal level. Then she went through all my symptoms with me and guess what, she said some of those symptoms are definately Metal related, but some of them definately arn't and it sounds much more like Lymes disease. I told her I'd had a negative test from GP and she says that means nothing. So Iv'e had to have a differnt Lymes test as well. She said the muscle cramping and twitching is more related to Lymes that Metals. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ever gonna get to the bottom of this, although I know some people on the forum have had a multitude of things. Will it ever end, I feel like a pin cushion again. She said just wait for the results and then we'll decide what's going on and investigate further if necessary. So so far I've been diagnosed with Metal toxicity, Epstein Barr, Cytomeglavirus and now possibly Lymes. Still maybe in afew months LOL I'll know exactly how many things I've got and at least they treat them all. One relief was that I didn't suffer any terrible side effects from the EDTA, in fact Keith and I actually went out for a fab Greek meal and ashamed to say ate and drank what I liked, but had a really good time. Had to go back in today to have vitamins and minerals replaced. Funny thing was I actually felt worse after this IV. I felt extremely agitated and 6 hours later that hasn't gone. What a battle we face. I'm disapointed the results will take so long, but then again whats a few weeks out of a few years. Read an interesting article while I was there about ME. Apparently the Government are trying to persuade GP's to treat people with ME the same as patients with terminal cancer! Anyway I guess the whole experience has made me think that we could have a number of things going on in our bodies, which we're not even aware of and at least, although it's again costly, you've something and someone to fall back on. Funny I met a lady in there who has had Lymes for 7 years and only just been tested and is now being treated. I also met a lady who lives in a beautiful house in the country and is very ill, has to be on oxygen 6 hours a day, cos of the spraying in the farm next door. They have to move. I think it was Richard who mentioned there could be other things attributing to our illness's, well I think you've probably got it right mate. Maybe once the immune system is depleted we're vunerable to many things. Love to you all Need an early night, Tracy xxxxx
