I had the kryptopyrole test sent off yesterday. I'll report back with the results. My doctor was hesitant to do the histimine tests because she didn't think I fit the profile and they are expensive. Saving for the last resort.
Would you elaborate on what you mean by the results aren't always as one expects? Are there degrees of pyroluria?
Again, I ask this because my father seemed so classically pyroluric physically and mentally. My doctor agreed that I did not fit the physical profile but because I've taken very good care of myself nutritionally throughout the years, she felt that although I'm not presenting the physical symptoms, it's possible the emotional component might still be present. But heck, if I'm taking care of the physical through proper nutrition, you'd think it would work for the mental as well.
Oh well, I'll wait til my results return. Be real nice to have a magic bullet, but I'm not holding my breath.
