Finally, a diagnosis!

[warrior queen]

For the last 2 years, something has been 'not quite right'.
I have had every test known to man, and apart from discovering that I am peri-diabetic and peri-menopausal, the docs couldn't figure out exactly wtf was going on.
Recently, I had yet another round of blood tests, and finally the results are showing up an anomoly.
It appears I don't produce enough Lipase enzymes (they are the ones that help digest fats).
I can't take the supplemental therapy due to my Pro Thrombin Gene Mutation... all the females in my family have this... so now I need to completely eliminate certain fats from my diet.
I have an appt with a nutritionist next week, as I will need to have some kinds of fats to keep everything functioning.
Plus I will need some tips on what I need to swap in my cooking (I would like to still be able to make certain meals, just without the obvious fats that I have been using so far).

I am happy that we finally know what is going on.

My nephew has Gaucher's Disease, where lipids accumulates in cells and certain organs. Nasty stuff ... good luck.

Good to hear they've come up with a diagnosis. Good luck.

And bat-shit crazy.

The bastardex said that (when I took him to court for with-holding visitation with my kids) and I had to go and get a court-ordered full psych evaluation to prove that I am sane.
Turns out, I am sane. Normal even!
In fact, it was that test that ended up triggering the bastardex and his bitchwife to become completely obsessed about hurting me through the kids - and eventually led to all the kids coming to live with me again.
Oh, almost forgot... I had an MRI as part of the testing process, and I now own a picture that conclusively proves I have a brain as well!

Mine don't accumulate - I simply don't produce enough.
Which explains why some foods have had me feeling seriously nauseated, sluggish and bloated (when those same foods have never bothered me before).

Bastardex...it sounds like a med you'd take for ulcers bro!

He has had infusions every 2 weeks since he was 3. He will have them the rest of his life.

What? And lose the ass-pic that gets me all those hilariously funny solicitation pm's!?
Like the one just yesterday where the guy thinks my ass is damn fine, is coming to visit Sydney from Ireland in a few months time, and wants to know if I can come see him so he can lick chocolate cream off it

The name of what I have is chylomicronemia (lipoprotein lipase deficiency).
