Imagine my surprise! I sent my adhd kid's urine for Pyrroles testing (he fit descriptions) and I send my youngest and myself too just because they sent me extra testing tubes for future testings... Imagine my surprise! My kids are fine but I have pyroluria!!! All these years of "unexplainable" problems and thre it was...
I has suffred from a total lack of appetite since the age of 4, white spots in the nails, inability to tan including bad sunburns and heat rash and a constant low grade depression and irritability that every doctor attributed to my "hating being so skinny"
Another doctor said it was "atypical anorexia" - Weel, if you cry all the time because you are too skinny that is not anorexia!!! Atypical or not!!!
So here we are 30 years later... I started B-6 and my mood brightened right away!
My problem is with Fatty acids: GLA versus Omega -3's
Why would omega-3s be bad for pyroluria?? isn't it supposed to be good for moods / attention?
Should I just take both?? I have read somewhere that the fish oils would be make me worse? why????
Thanks for anyone responding - chemist??
