    Saw this podcast by chance-what posted on Luries Facebook page and clicked to see---ironically we are trying to figure out what is alien our child as we know she has some sort of metabolic disorder. The little bit that was shared in this sounds so much like our daughter. Thank you for sharing this as I am bringing it up with her doctor asap. We are on track now as her doctor also agrees that she possibly can have some sort of mitochondrial disorder….. I would love if there’s any other information websites or doctors we should reach out to. She is a patient at Luries but as she doesn’t have a specific diagnosis, so not part of any certain program or clinic yet.

    Can you do a video on how to talk to your doctor if YOU, as a patient, suspect mitochondrial disease? Medical gaslighting is rampant in my community, and being a brown, obese, autistic woman doesn't help. I can't find anything short that a provider will actually look at during a 5-10 minute GP appointment, which is about all anyone ever gets nowadays. In this day and age, when providers don't have time to sit down and read an extensive paper or sift through a website, it is essential to be concise. Our research hospital (University of New Mexico Hospital) just made national news by getting an F on a Leapfrog assessment, and my neurologist has never done an actual neurological function exam in the three years I've been seeing him. He just interrupts me and tells me to talk to my PCP. This is the quality of care in the USA. Please help.

    What are markers of oxidative stress? Dont know if have mito problems but anemia runs in family and have been trying to reduce again fatigue (which seems to change hourly to ok energy), by checking what foods help. In past, eating liver, but in last 2 years not crave it like before. ALso iron labs high in last year, but ferritin 34 (and high TIBC !). While researching possible high B12 meaning, papers out that many B12 lab analyzers use antibodies and if a person has those AB than incorrect results. They mentioned 500> is ok, that MMA urine lab is best if concerned about B12(or serum). It is also part of a OAT , so I might ask Dr to test that or buy it myself online. For folate , homocysteine lab (urine or serum). Can oxygen for this be measured with an oximeter?

    If you test negative for the r300.1 genetic muscle biopsy test do you definitely not have a mitochondrial disease? Or is there other tests for it ?

  • @julieguess3276
    @julieguess3276 10 месяцев назад

    I was finally diagnosed bc I was sent to a younger neurologist who immediately suspected this is what was going on. So after genetic testing and muscle biopsies he was definitely right with his diagnosis. Now I have learned to live with it.

    Anything for KSS??

  • @bookaufman9643
    @bookaufman9643 10 месяцев назад

    I'm 56 years old and about 6 months ago I was diagnosed with KSS. I was told that I had a mitochondrial deletion rate of 50 percent. It's strange because it all started with extreme pain in my left foot and some weird blood tests. I had two biopsies and after the second one they were able to determine that I had this mitochondrial myopathy. The pain on my left side is getting worse and worse and I'm having trouble keeping my balance very well though it doesn't show a whole lot yet to most people. For the most part people just see that I'm limping. My syndrome is extremely rare and so I don't have a lot of people to exchange information with. It seems as if I'll probably die in the next few years of a heart attack or some other organ failure problem but right now my organs are working okay. My muscles have definitely been the problem so far and I've also had a huge problem with swallowing. I swallow are and saliva and foods and drinks improperly and end up choking all the time. There's no cure and it's just a slow deterioration. It's very hard to know how it's going to conclude but I'm doing okay in the moment.

    • @bookaufman9643
      @bookaufman9643 6 месяцев назад

      @@jimmydelen2023 actually KSS is famous for its effect on all of your vital organs. Most people with this disorder will die of a heart attack but they will also go blind if they live long enough. I don't know where you got your information from but you can simply Google "KSS" or Kearns Sayre Syndrome and see that the prognosis is very very bad.

  • @bookaufman9643

    It's amazing how on-the-nose some of this stuff is. My whole journey started with extreme left foot pain and everybody thought it was caused by a back surgery I had a few weeks before the pain started. Luckily or unluckily my blood tests were really strange and my primary started thinking that I might have some form of mitochondrial myopathy. I had an initial biopsy in my right thigh which sowed some strange things but they couldn't put it into the lab at the category at that point though everybody was starting to think that was going to be the answer. I had a second biopsy into the already damaged left foot and a geneticist came back and told me that I had KSS. I won't go into detail because you can just Google it but it's a pretty crappy diagnosis to have. It's a deletion of the mtdna which causes all sorts of muscle and organ problems. I'm glad that I know what it is and that my primary doctor kept referring me over and over to different specialists until we finally found out. By the end of it my primary had left the clinic and I was with somebody else but I was very happy he was there to help me move through the system and get a diagnosis even if that diagnosis was bad news.
