The more parameters we test the better we can at least manage our POIS.
But therein lies the problem. There is hardly any 'we'. One person testing for things and then what? What is the reason you don't put any effort into privately funded blood tests if I may ask?
I already spend a lot of money on tons of vitamins I have tried and still do. Because of my urticaria I also spend a lot of money in all kinds of things used in the bathroom (shampoo etc.).
I already checked of lot of things. After you maybe I am the one with the longest list. Those tests were by prescription of my doctor. I think 50% of the things that were checked was because I asked my doctor. Vitamin D, testosterone, thyriod, etc. Now I want to know if I have a vitamin B problem. So that is what I am gonna ask for the next time.
If I think I have to do a test that is not covered by my health insurrance I consult my doctor first. For example checking candida. He said it is obvious that I have candida because he checked me. So it would be a waste of money to do a test of something I already know. We also spoke about a gen mutation test MTHFR. He said it would be worth while to test it. I did not because I read an artcile in tye NY Times about privacy problems.
But I am spending a lot of my money because of POIS. And beside that I had a lot of costs (personal reasons). Before that I would buy every vitamin that someone on this forum found relief from. I think I tried more than 100 vitamins.
