Question : Hello! I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I uploaded my lab results. If you have time to look over them, I would really appreciate it! Also do you happen to know how I can upload a picture for my user profile on here? I can't seem to figure that one out for some reason. Lol. Thank you very much!
Brief Answer:
took a good look...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I've checked your Lyme tests and they're indeed negative (no doubt about it). Actually the lab had the necessary information in the same sheet as the results but I suppose it's not easy for everybody to interpret medical stuff!
The rest of your common tests are OK. Although many of them are almost unreadable I could understand that they're within normal limits. The only value I could not read was the potassium levels. So if it's within 3.5 - 5.0 then it's OK too.
Regarding the allergy tests, it seems that you are sensitive to candida which is a very common fungus (and inhabits many human bodies too) which may even cause diseases both external (skin) and internal in some cases. Of course being allergic to it, is a different story because it doesn't directly cause disease. It does so indirectly by activating allergic reactions which may present with various forms including asthma, rhinitis, pneumonitis, etc.
You also have a mild sensitivity to other molds. Some of them like humidity (like shower curtains, water collections, etc). If there's a water leak in your home and you do have symptoms of allergic reactions then you'd better do something soon!
I almost forgot the picture issue... The truth is that I don't know how. I only answer medical questions, which does not involve using the rest of the website. There is a helpdesk for that though, search for the link on the top right corner ("Report a problem"). For doctors there is a pretty straightforward link to upload their photos but I can't say how the patient's can do that! Sorry!
I hope I've helped you with the tests!
Please contact me, if you have further questions.
Kind Regards!
