Thanks for your reply, Beachbum. I’m glad Mayo’s “moderation” regimen worked for you. What is it? Could you give us a description of it? I’m set to visit Mayo for 5-7 days in August but it sounds like that might be expensive and useless. One writer wrote here that it was useless. So what IS that moderation regimen all about?
My blood test also showed many abnormal biomarkers ( mostly IL - interluken - readings.) Did the “100s” of other blood tests you took also test for IL markers?) I’ve had many other blood tests that were normal, but they did NOT test IL biomarkers.
How did that recent blood test turn out? Any improvement in the biomarkers?
Best wishes, Beachbum,
Stuart

@stuartkjones4 My "100s" of other blood tests included just one Interluken which was normal at Mayo Rochester. All other blood tests were typical blood testing regimens. It wasn't until Dr. Patterson's team where they mentioned many interlukens and other markers in their testing regimen that showed many out of bounds results.
I left out a detail about my feeling better. I can now exercise without crashing and within a set limit, I can engage in conversations, read, and listen to podcasts and what's being said 'sticks' in my head and I can recall details said hours ago. All that was impossible prior to Patterson.
Mayo's program is pretty extensive with follow on virtual coaching. They teach a course of moderation with a theory that you reprogram your neural pathways. It only helped me to understand I needed to back off physically and mentally and find a line not to cross over. Not good enough for me.
From blood test 1 to 2 to 3 I was/am 14 out of bounds to 9 out of bounds to 9 out of bounds. Testing shows a stall and I feel like I have stalled. Will see what the Doctor says tonight.
