Persons with ME/CFS are often very likely to get DNA testing. I was prompted to do so by what I read here on the forum. I had my DNA data extracted by 23 and me, then I had reports done by Interpretome, Promethease, Genetic Genie and NutraHacker. If any of those 3rd party companies have been acquired by ill-intentioned organizations, well, the harm is done.
So I would like to warn others about it. We should be very careful about giving out our DNA and personal medical records, as we don't know whose hands that information falls into, and what it is used for.
Knowing my SNPs didn’t change my symptoms, and investigating symptoms was much more helpful than doing what’s is recommended on the internet for a specific SNP… The symptoms include reactions to environmental issues that are not in our genes.
