Re: The test....I know! that's what I thought (that it
would be years down the road that they could test), but apparently
not. The test is expensive, however, so if you don't have insurance
or a doctor that will word it in such a way that it gets covered...it's
alot to pay out of pocket. The doctor gave me a kit to take home
and I had to give urine and saliva samples at certain times of the day...
then I sent it to this place called NeuroScience, and the tests are
performed by a lab called Pharmasan Labs. There's a website for Pharmasan Labs.
I think NeuroScience is a separate facility, and I didn't get any hits when I put
it in Google. My p-doc said normally they test these levels through spinal fluids...
I don't know if she was questioning the validity of the test or not. (I went to a different
doctor other than my pdoc for this stuff). All I know is I feel better and I'm glad.All I have with me right now is a number for Technical Support at NeuroScience, but if you called
them, maybe they could direct you to a doctor in your area that is into this stuff.
I can give it to you if you want. Not sure if they could help you.I also noticed some sites on the web once I started to research this stuff where you can
buy these neurotransmitter testing kits....but I really wouldn't do any of this without a
doctor....
