That was my point exactly. This is twice in as many days you seem to have corrected me if I have offended you some how please private message me. Otherwise again I am sorry.

I have persistent PCS symptoms. Multiple MRI's, an MRI/MRA and a PET scan showed nothing abnormal except for a vascular irregularity (minor out pouching). The test that showed significant problems was a qEEG/VEP/AEP. Very few know how to read the fine waveforms to see the dysfunctions.

Could you please tell me how you got the TAU tested in your blood?

I am interested in asking my PCP for this test the next time I see her.
