@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.

Great that you can now exercise and remember conversations, etc., Beachbum. HOW does that moderation program work to reprogram neural pathways? That sounds like gobbledegook to me. What symptoms does that help? Did it work for you? If so, which symptoms improved?

Most important, what meds did your doc prescribe for you? Were they Maraviroc and Lipitor?
Any others?
How long did you have to wait to get treated? Months? I can’t see a doc to early October.

Thanks, again, Beachbum,
Stuart
