Please help me get diagnosed!

Hello,
Recently diagnosed with ME/CFS - I have posted my genetic genie results. What can I do to start support my MFTHR in terms of medications and supplements. Complete noob here!

Methylation SNPs aren't a basis for diagnosing anything. And even if it were, we aren't doctors and you aren't our patient, so we couldn't diagnose you anyhow

MTHFR C677T +/- means that you convert folic acid into active folate at about 65% of the optimum rate. But because MTHFR mutations are extremely common, that means yours is pretty average. At most it indicates that eating a decent amount of veggies or supplementing a normal dose of methylfolate (such as is found in a typical multivitamin) might help in keeping homocysteine levels in normal range.

@AspireApex

In a nutshell -- your genetic mutations to not look severe. Perhaps your ME/CFs may be caused by something else (infections, mitochondrial damage, subclinical thyroid problem, adrenal issues, toxins, parasites, etc).

MAO A R297R - is best supported with adequate B2 intake and a fully functioning thyroid.
VDR taq - make sure your Vitamin D levels are adequate - test to make sure your Vitamin D levels are in range, supplement if low

@AspireApex Can you post your Detox Profile results too?

With the MTHFS mutation, it seems as though I should avoid all sources of folate that are not methylfolate. Does this sound correct? My symptoms all started after I started eating more spinach/broccoli and olive oil on a regular basis. Assuming I refrain from eating these, will my methylation status slowly revert back to normal assuming I stay away from all folinic acid? What are your experiences?
