Hello,
I've been reading these forums for a little while now and have found lots of interesting and helpful information so thank you all for that. Ive lived with mild CFS for 15years or so and mostly managed by just not overdoing it, daily naps and occasional supplements but as recently things started to deteriorate despite 'management' I've decide to see if I can push on with an actual recovery protocol. I'm also using myself as a test Guinea pig to see what might help my mother and sister who are both much much more seriously affected than me.
I've had a Doctors data methylation test done and this has confirmed low SAMe and low SAH and high homocysteine so I'm hoping to work on improving my methylation so I was thinking of getting a SNP test done. I've noticed everyone seems to recommend the 23and me test but the Ancestry one is cheaper and on the face of it seems to test more SNPs? But maybe not the same ones or ones that are useful for understanding methylation or CFS? Does anyone know how compare able these tests are or which is the better one to do? I've read that they've both been updated recently as well with Amcestry having more and 23 having less?
Any experience or insights would be much appreciated, thank you
