Tattoomom Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The good news is- Ava's Lyme test was negative. The bad news is- her MTHFR came back with 1 copy- C677T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomWithOCDSon Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Well, I'll leave it to the "experts" like LLM to respond to what the mutation actually translates to, but that's not necessarily "bad" news, is it? I mean, I get the impression that 1) it's fairly common, and 2) now you know what you're dealing with, so you can start tailoring your interventions to the mutation so that they're more effective? Maybe this is, really, "good news" and "good news"! peglem and Tattoomom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowingmom Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I agree. Now you know one piece of the puzzle! You are getting there. The pieces will fall together if you keep at it. Just wondering about your lyme test. DD was IND for kDa 39 which is lyme-specific. Because it showed up at all, the LLMD diagnosed lyme. The test otherwise stated her lyme result was CDC and Igenex negative. Are any other lyme-specific bands positive? Did you test from any of the co-infections?

LNN Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Finding an MTHFR issue was one of the best thngs that ever happened for my DD. The change in her since treating this is indescribable. She went from a kid bound for bipolar meds to a kid no one would ever, ever consider unstable. Have you tested other genes or only MTHFR? peglem, Twomeymk4 and Tattoomom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
