so afraid
Posted , 8 users are following.
hi ladies- well back to my googling which i said i wasnt going to do. Are any of you familiar with the methylation cycle? well i know i have genetic snps as far as mine is concerned. Im beginning to think that is my problem and not hormones and that scares the s**t out of me. Think hormones make it worse but are not the root cause for me. Im really afraid and in a really dark place because of it. I just cant live like this i cant and im sure ive passed these genetic mutations on to my 2 beautiful daughters and im like a caged animal. I want to have hope but today is not one of those days:(

I've got the MTHFR mutation. An immunologist suggested I take methylfolate which I've been doing. They have identified it as being one factor that contributes to chronic fatigue syndrome. I didn't have the other. So not ME (CFS). EBV is my problem.
Maybe those of us with this mutation have a harder time with peri?

MTHFR deficiency – comment from our Clinical Director
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency is a common cause of raised homocysteine, especially in people with low levels of folic acid in their system. Depending on ethnic background, the incidence of variations in the MTHFR gene, causing low levels, can vary from 1 in 50 to more than 1 in 3.
Very rare mutations in the gene can lead to a condition called homocystinuria. People with this condition can be prone to near-sightedness, osteoporosis, increased risk of clotting and, in some cases, developmental delay.
There has been a lot of publicity about possible medical problems caused by MTHFR deficiency/mutation.
However, the vast majority of people with MTHFR deficiency feel entirely well and do not know they have the condition unless they are tested.
Nor is there any evidence that treatment makes any difference for most people.
For instance, studies have shown no evidence that taking the B vitamin folic acid reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, cancer or death in people with MTHFR deficiency

Thanks for the info! I try hard not to google everything anymore, so appreciate you taking the time to talk a little about the MTHFR mutation.

Youre welcome:) I know its not uncommon but I think with other snps maybe is where the issue is? Im not going to begin to say I know about this stuff its all so confusing but makes sense at the same time- if that makes sense haha. ❤❤
