UK Doctor dismissive of Immuniolgy tests..........??   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #94979 of 98503 |
Hi there,

I recently met with a Doctor at St Marys hospital in London for tests for
Recurrent Misscarriage i have Factor V Leiden (blood clotting) I have had all
availiable tests and treatment and am still suffering miscarriage all at 5/6
weeks. I asked his opinion on the NK Cells and the blood tests which are sent to
the Beer Centre in the US. He said that they were a complete waste of time and
money. His reasoning was that you can not tell the amount of NKCells in the
uterus by bloods he said that 100% I would be wasting my money! However he does
support Siobhan Quenby work in Liverpools Women clinic as she is the ONLY clinic
in th UK to test endometrium lining for NK Cells. She will not see me in her
cinic as i have a "reason" for my miscarriages (blood clottting)although after
using blood thinners i am still miscarriaging. The immune tests were really my
last hope but they have kind of been shattered as my Doc said they are a load of
rubbish!!??

What are your thoughts???

Zoe
