Just got some blood work back and the only abnormality it showed was a deficiency in vitamin d. Considering all the symptoms I have from being floxed I'm shocked that it didn't show more problems.
Does it anyone know if it's normal to have nothing show up in blood tests despite having such a wide array of serious symptoms? Inflmmation levels were normal. Kidney and liver normal. All other vitamin and minerals normal. Only thing was the vitamin d which I plan to start supplementing. Is it possible that correcting that one deficiency will make a major difference.
Also was curious if d3 is something that many floxed people are sensitive to?
Thanks.

It shows how limited we are with our tests, which don't show functional and cellular damage. Quite a way from that yet. Most have normal blood tests results, or even if abnormal, it fluctuates. Hopefully, you won't develop secondary symptoms. As for Vit D, best to take Vitamin D3 I can only tolerate D3 from AOR,extracted from sheep lanolin. Mine was seriously low, at 3, with a ref range of 25 + being optimal. Wishing you well.

Thanks for that information.
Did you feel any better once you got your vitamin d levels up? And do you know of any tests out there that would give a more accurate picture of the damage we have endured?
Thanks.

E did you have an endocrinological panel done? I've spoken to half a dozen floxed guys who had low free Testosterone and abnormaly high growth hormone.
All my results apart from the above were normal, including D3 and I live in UK where its cloudy a good half of the year.

Wrote on the old forum about D3, each time i took it (for infections), it revved up my allergies and triggered shingles. Found supporting published articles about both. The sun has the same effect. Cruious as to why, found articles discussing patients high in ROS, (free radicals), exposure to the sun will cause further oxidative stress. Regardless of supporting evidence or not, if I find a correlation with symptoms and foods, or weather, etc.. I will avoid. SIMPLE. Will post those papers when I find them. For now, here is an article by Professor Marshall, with Q&A at the end of his paper. www.marshallprotocol.com/view_topic.php?id=2716&forum_id=11&jump_to=23912
