Hi Ruth, Thanks for your kind words...Im not sure exactly how much I understand of this (IgE ) because it wasnt told to me by a DR Ive found this out by searching the web once I got my results--I had to know whaty it meant to my life and how to deal with it.
Judy Im sorry about those high levels with Jarrod and I would gladly trade living places with you if possible
Until then, I wish my sunsets and fireflies to you both!

Im sorry hubby has such extreme levels.. no wonder he has felt so badly.. Im pleased he tested negative for hyper IgE syndrome, I was a bit worried about that myself but I dont think it applies to me.. I do however think I have the IgE nephritis... along with the IC. I jbow what you mean about dark houses for heat! LOL me too!!! Thats interesting about the naturpath/ I believe in a whole range of natural medicine. I know that urine from the body is sterile until it leaves the body. Ive never heard of it in that way but anything is possible.. I know urine is seen as a healer in other parts of the world and in arab lands there is an old saying "There is never a man so low as one who refuses to urinate on a friends wounds". Sounds very honorable but I dont think I could ever bring myself to do it LOL...
Joan, my BFF online lol.. that ius really and seriously true.. love this woman soooo much... my online Smurfette hehe.. Yes Ma'am I am planning some visits in the future... and just the thought is making me feel good
Texan youre right, I adore the south but it doesnt seem to like me anymore! I think it happened because the UTI came back and I always reaxt to those pretty badly..l. This is getting olddddd LOL.
Cant forget my Lisazilla
love ya
OK this is what Ive found (please remember Im no expert)
My IgE result is 1330 and anything under 100 is normal. Usual allergies will increase that number for people being exposed to a real allergy.
I know the few real ones I have, I wasnt exposed to one. I am however exposed almost constantly to a UTI I cant seem to shake. That seems to be common with high IgE levels.. it can somehow encapsulate bacteria that causes infection and almost protect it to start a new infection after a course of treatment of antibiotics. That seems to be exactly what is happening with me since January maybe longer.
IgE also is a type of receptor for mast cells to bind to, so... if youre being exposed to triggers the amount of exposures for a reaction to occur can be much less because of the increased IgE.
