Natops Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Quick Summary about me – since May 2011 I have suffer from acute bilateral leg pain/burning with chronic fatigue. In April/May 2012 I experienced POTS like symptoms – tachycardia 30+ when standing, blood pooling in both feet, crippling dizziness. Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg a day, Midodrine, compression socks, and a gallon of Gatorade a day stabilized my POTS symptoms but I still suffer from bilateral leg burning and chronic fatigue. So I have had every blood test you can think of – all show normal, except one. I got the results in an email last week…. I don’t see the doctor about it till the end of the month.It said my Pyruvic Acid was 0 .1 out of range of 0.3-0.7 MG/DLIs that significant? Does anybody know anything about Pyruvic Acid blood test?

partyhat Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's probably not significant-- pyruvic acid labwork needs to be handled in a very specific way, and many labs don't do it the right way, which causes an inaccurate high result.
