Hi Barb,
What is the name of the test you had for Mitochondrial Function?

Thanks!

It’s the Mitochondrial Function Profile Test, a description of which can be found at :-

There are notes on what you need to do if you don’t live in the UK, at:-

Let me know how you go on, if you decide to go ahead. The treatment regime has certainly helped me, I had almost ground to a standstill, I was so low on energy supply. I have seen a gradual improvement since I started, which I have measured with my ‘cycling’ test. At first I could only use my exercise cycle for 30 seconds before the ‘lactic acid pain’ started in my calf muscles. Some 6 months later I could manage 5 minutes before having to stop, though I have to say, at this point I had also started on Diamox and Cetirizine, so these could have accelerated the progress. More recently I managed an incredible 17 minutes, weh-hey!

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
