genetic tests

I got a genetic test to find what medications do and don't work for me and it showed that I have a mutation that makes me unable to process folate in its natural form from my food, so I started taking a supplement that's processed in a way that my body can absorb it
and y'all
I didn't realize how sick I was until I started feeling better, because in a matter of days my blood pressure is back to normal (it was super fucking low), I'm not lightheaded anymore, I feel less weak and tired and "dazed" feeling, also my nerve pain and numbness has significantly diminished (I still have spinal issues that contribute to that) And the weirdest one? I can sweat now - like I'm straight up working on a farm for the summer and I was not sweating enough to cool my body and constantly overheating, and now, I sweat like a normal person. All in a matter of days.
I also learned it can contribute to depression, anxiety, other psych disorders, cancer, chronic pain, nerve pain, chronic fatigue, the list goes on...
And it's like, a super fucking common mutation (30-40% of people have it) but not everyone becomes anemic from it. 
The weird part is, none of my bloodwork has ever shown that I'm anemic, but I reckon it's been quite some time since my last labs were done. 




Anyways that's my brain dump on some health bullshit
I kinda wanna get an even more in-depth test now, but this was all insurance would cover.

have you ever had a genetic test done?

Right? I kinda wanna see if I can save up enough to get a more in depth test, since insurance will only cover it for medications

I've had doctors literally not know the tests existed... rural healthcare is so lacking lol
but I did telehealth with a psych nurse who ordered the test and it was literally a mouth swab I sent off in the mail

they often look at digestive issues like celiac with anemia because you can be eating all the right things but your body may not absorb them. 

If iron pills don't work, then yeah there's likely some underlying issue with absorption

I never wanted to, like, do the family genetic test ancestry stuff, cuz that's a can of worms I don't wanna open, I may have a whole other family lol

I think it has it benefits
but I’m the worst when it comes
to stuff like that where I’m concerned.
I do what’s necessary medically
but my attitude is 50/50
ignorance is bliss and if it ain’t broke don’t fix it lol

Sounds nice and relieving to know what is wrong! Especially if you have gone with this for some time!
