Today the researcher handling Mito diagnosis called with the results from our whole family mouth swabs...this is what came of it and where we all stand.
Hugh- Slight complex IV deficiency
Me-Severe Complex I deficiency along with elevated enzyme that creates Mito production...the most affected in the family.
Richard-not affected
Joshua-no longer showing deficiency and following in the "low" of "normal" range...he was on the mito cocktail when tested.
Michael-same as last time, still deficient in Complex I and IV
Gabrielle- Not affected
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this, I will post more later once I have had time to figure out where we are going with all of this info. It is nice to know I am not crazy but not so fun to know you have a disease that you can't get treated locally for and insurance doesn't cover the specialists in the field. I'm praying to be able to wrap my head around this and find out where I am suppose to be with all of this. I was not surprised to find out I had it but was quite shocked to hear I was the worst where defects are concerned. It really does explain a good chunk of my life and all the problems I have had along with the exhaustion on a regular basis. Please keep me in your prayers as I learn to accept this new diagnosis.
