After receiving my blood test results, I shared them with my four siblings, my son, and ex-husband. Only one brother chose to get tested. He also has the mutation and is on supplementation.
My adult son has the homozygous C667T mutation like I do. Getting him on supplementation is challenging due to family politics. However, I'm relieved to know why he has learning disabilities and anxiety. It's taken the burden off of me, in an interesting way. Homozygoud means that my son received one mutation from me and one from his Dad. So, fingers crossed, in the next couple months or so, in the next couple month, family issues will get resolved and he'll be taking the supplementation.
My ex-husband had to have at least one mutation since my son was homozygous, and, indeed, he does. So he's now on methyl folate recommended by his doctor.
My spouse's doc recommended he have the blood test and the results show he's heterozygous. He's taking Methyl-Pro 15 plus 5000 methyl B12 as his body seems to need more than mine does. He seems happier, more creative, and is more energetic. Which is fun for me.
We then had one of his sons tested who turned out to be heterozygous. I sent him the same products I'm taking. He has what could be deemed IBS and anxiety so it will be interesting to see if the supplementation aids his overall health. Right now, we're having the other two sons tested at www.23andme.com.
I need to tell you that everyone I've mentioned above have wonderful and endearing personalities. As best I know. So I'm hoping for health and well being successes, not for major life-changing results. Should that happen, that would be fine, too.
