Hello All,
I'm a new member on the forum but have been reading your posts for a few months now & can see you guys (and girls!) really know your stuff, I thought I had started to pickup a lot of information but now I have my 23andme results I am totally confused about what to address first and how :-( if anyone on here could please try to help me I would be very grateful?
I suffer with social anxiety and have always had a high resting heard rate & get chest pain/out of breath, even when I am at home relaxed, I also suffer with acne & slight OCD (not too bad though e.g. I cant put on the first pair of socks I pickup..weird I know) and I hope that I can at least find something that will help with at least one of these problems as doctors have pretty much done some basic testing on my thyroid and heart and dismissed me as 'healthy'...only I dont feel healthy! I don't suffer with depression though, in fact I am usually very happy and have loads of energy, despite the anxiety, which is confusing.
Below are my 23&me results, I have limited to the ones which show something other than '-/-':
While I was awaiting the above results I purchased some methylcobalamin as I was sure I had methylation issues and was eager to start however it drove me crazy with anxiety, even the tiniest amount. This made me think (from reading on here) that I perhaps had CBS issues so I got the sulfate strips and sure enough it showed a result of about 1000 so i have been taking Molyb since which seems to be bringing the result down however I don't 'feel' any different. I have also never had any issue with eating sulfur, in fact I crave garlic like crazy. Also the weird thing is that I can take MSM etc without any problem :-S
I am taking magensium on a night to help me sleep as I also struggle sleeping, this does seem to help a lot. I seem to get a better effect from Magnesium oxide thank glycinate.
One last piece to the puzzle (sorry for all the info I just really want to try and get some help to calm my anxiety). I had a UAA done, results below (the high and low to the right is the 'normal' range). It seems that I have some really high in the range but almost all are on the lower end, some under range. I was a little bit Ill when I had it done though so I don't know if I should disregard them?
The reason I am so confused is that from my 23&me results I have done some reading and it seems that it suggests that my methionine should be low and homocysteine high but the test shows my methionine as very high. I don't unfortunately have a homocysteine test & cant afford one right now after paying for these tests so I will need to wait :-(
Sorry again for all the info & thanks in advance to anyone who can help
