Wow...Well I think this may be good news! It looks like your immune system is starting to put up a fight now! Did he retest you with IgeneX? Were you on or off abx when you retested? I'm considering getting retested again.... I'm having a hard time with insurance and am thinking it would be beneficial to have the CDC pos.
I haven't had my CD57 retested yet but is started at a 13. What does your LLMD say about the CD57? I know lots of dr's dont rely on it much... My dr thinks it's a good tool to measure length of treatment.
Flagyl causes hormone imbalances? I'm on Flagyl now and am wondering if I have some hormonal issues... I've been very emotional and moody!
Well I hope you keep seeing improvement!!
This sounds like good news! Everyone reacts differently to meds ... I had some problems with some of them too, and swapping out meds is not uncommon.
Don't know about the hormone imbalance you note -- but hope you get over the flu soon.
Sending you good thoughts and fine wishes for your health in the New Year!
That's not unlike the concept behind the "anbiotic challenge" in which the patient is treated for awhile before testing in hopes that it perks up the immune system for a positive result.
I haven't been tested since treatment, kinda neat that you have that benchmark.
My CD57 was in normal range at my most sick. My doc just said that it's not a good measure for everyone.
