Evening #CoSo
I’m feeling pretty good today, after a rough few days.
Just want to put it out there if anyone is struggling I’m here to chat.
Others were there for me, now I’m here for you. Just give me a shout.
@VaKnow22 Thanks for the offer of support; I'm doing ok... But may I ask you a question about your treatment for depression?
@ATXJane
Hey Jane, glad you’re ok.
Fire away, what is it you’d like to ask?
@VaKnow22 Given that your black dog lurked around in your life for so long...Have you ever done genetic testing to see if you have the genetic quirk on the MTHFR gene? That might explain some stuff...
@ATXJane
To be honest, I’ve never even heard of it?! 😬
I’m going to have to have a quick Google. 🤦♂️
@VaKnow22 This could be a game changer for you. It basically influences the metabolism of serotonin. And now we're at the end of my genetics knowledge. Methylated folate supplement is the key, but it should be added to your diet under supervision, particularly if you're on antidepressants.
@VaKnow22 I can't make dose recommendations and of course I'm not offering medical advice, only my own experience, but the doses are pretty low. I have a hunch this info might be helpful - and I truly hope it is. Thanks for for being so gracious.
@VaKnow22 Please do. I'd really love to hear back! :)
