I did 23andme, I have this mutation. Means that you have a methylation issue. Methylation is the process by which our bodies eliminates toxins. I also had a functional medicine Doctor test me for it. Once you get your 23andme results, there are websites that will interpret your results and tell you which gene mutations you have and what the risks are. Some are free and some you pay $20 to get results. The idea behind it is that through clean eating and supplementation, we can change our DNA and fix genes that are mutated. There is a reason anxiety, depression, and many other diseases are passed from generation to generation. Somewhere along the way, chromozones get mutated. If you receive two mutated chromozones, one from each parent, you are at greater risk of having issues. If you have just one mutation chromozone, homozygous, you have less of a risk but still at risk. Hope this helps to answer some of your questions.

No it's been around awhile. If you have a flexible doctor that thinks out of the box ask him to test you for this. The trouble is you will then need to take the results to a functional medicine doctor to interpret it. I believe we have a gene/mutation MTHFR that causes a lot of our problem. We don't absorb vitamins and nutrition well because of this gene. If you have the mutations there are protocols to help us with vitamins. There is several variants of the mutation. Go to google and key up MTHFR and Fibro and read about it.

Yes me too!!

Yes, I actually titrated off 450 mg of Lyrica and down to 60 mg of Cymbalta. Was doing all the supplements, clean eating, etc. It def seemed to help some but started to get nauseous with all the supplements and it was hard to be compliant. Still struggle, but for the most part, I'm gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. That seemed to help! By the way, getting off Lyrica was one of the hardest thing I have ever done! Feel free to call me if want to chat more! (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators).

Yes if you follow the protocol with diet and vitamins you can actually stop a lot of deseases that are associated with the mutations.
