Cardiac, Htn, Diabetic, Photosensitivity, Loss Of Balance And Coordination, Weakness And Mri Reveals Lg

54 yo woman with cardiac, htn,new diabetic presents with dry heaves, photosensitivity , loss of balance and coordination, weakness and mri reveals lg. left cerebellar stoke. able to talk, eventually (after 2 week rehab ) walk without assist. no facial drawing or verbal impairment, no curling of extremeties. neuro dr states looks great and does not totally understand my lack of stroke symptoms for the size I had. Some people in my town hate me and want my property. Could I have been poisoned by mail ?(got it at 9 pm that night and then symptoms of vomiting 4 hours later) Or, I ingested some cookies that night right before bedtime. I have 2 week samples of vomit, bedclothes,towels, rug and napkins. They were then stuck in freezer. Even rest of cookies. I have samples of nasal drainage and extensive sweating-probable urine. ER refused to send neither blood samples or urine to special lab after repeated requests to do so and even after dr. said yes to urine after repeat request. This was night of sept. 16th. Any hope of biological specimines now?

Diabetologist 's  Response
Dear sir

I dont think your biological specimens will show any growth because if it is a case of food allergy or poisoning then you it will test positive for the agent causing the food poisoning and even it holds good for microbiological organisms.

So usually if you test your vomitus samples or urine specimen it will not necessarily test positive until unless you have signs of infection such as fever.

So dont worry

Thanks
