My quest to get my life back - By Outlaw

[Outlaw]

Last month I ordered a genetic test to see if I was predisposed to badly process folate, and I just got the results. I do have a variant for the MTHFR C677T gene (heterozygous).

However I have a homozygous VDR TAQ, which means my body's receptors can't process vitamin D well. Upon research, it's a mutation that many many PFS guys have. The VDR is part of the same family as the androgen receptor genes.

Moral of the story, if you are health anxious, don't order a genetic test

I have the same. I would imagine most guys, if not all, have some form of MTHFR mutation, it plays a factor in how your body methylates and detoxes.

I did the same thing you’re doing, I had all these thoughts that I’ll never recover because this or this or my gene test said this, etc. long story short, same things that help anyone else help me, and the recovery is the same. Don’t get caught up in any of this, I tried all sorts of stuff to cater to my genetic tests and nothing did anything, just stick with the protocol and don’t worry about things like this.

But if anything, I’d be happy, I am C677T as well so now you probably know that the folate had an impact on you and you can improve quickly from the shitty situation the B complex put you in.
