Consultation
I had my follow up consult today. As usual, there will be another follow up on my questions, but here is what I learned.
My copper is extremely low. This still indicates Wilson's disease, that and the low Cp. However, I have had a liver biopsy, and it revealed no copper damage. So I guess we toss that one.
My histamine is in the normal range. This, however, has not relieved the two major symptoms that I have related to that: Anxiety and obsessive thoughts. That said they are way, way better. The secondary symptoms I still have: I dont sneeze, I dont sweat, I have very little libido, I don't tear much.
So, interestingly, the PTC told me that many patients find that after reducing the folate they take, thier histamine related symptoms improve. Might have to do with upregulation. Hard to abandon the girl who you came with, but frankly, its time to change things up and take chances.
They suspect malabsorbtion, so I am to take a lot of Biotin. ok.
In catch up, I am preapring for the CA State Bar exam. Which is, in itself, a major stressor. I have made some interesting observations.
1) I have a certain limit for total stress. Things like physical exertion, hypocaloric diets, phycological stress, anxiety, staying away from my home for extended periods, lack of sleep, etc, all chip in. with the bar, I am always about a chip away from overwhelming that stress threshold. for the time being, I have stopped the gym, and taken to my second great love for excersize...walking. I like three things: lifting heavy things, swimming/surfing, and walking. Dont get much out of cardio, yoga, pilates, jogging, running, hiking, biking. Though, to be fiar, BB gave me an awesome intro to Pilates. I was sore the next day in odd places. So I walk.
2) I have observed my relationship with stress. I note that the Bar gives me great stress becuase I dont have a plan. As a reasult, I never know when I am doing too much, and always feel like I could do more. When I cut that off, I feel better. Second, it is distrating myself from the prep, not the prep itself, whcih gives me the most aggitation. I find this true in life. I get to something unpleasant, and I avoid it, but the avoidance causes me more stress than doing it. So I am locking horns and whipping this one.
Thell get back to me, the PTC, re carnitine, and MORE P5P, and I will let you know how that comes out.
Until then, fair readers, be good to one another.
