Today started very early, I watched the coronation of King Charles III. I was able to stay awake through the service and the travel to Buckingham Palace. Then I went back to bed and slept deep. When I woke up my schedule was all wacky, but its Saturday so no real obligations.
I am not even sure how or why I started researching this morning. There were plenty of things that needed to be done. Something led me to the computer, and I have discovered quite a bit of information. There is a link between the MTHFR gene mutation and ADHD. Yay!! Go Me!! Another wrinkle that will need to be ironed out. It seems that the gene mutation is the source of a few of the conditions that affect my person. I will admit I never did any real research on the MTHFR gene mutation. I am now thinking that I need to learn a bit more about what that impacts. I know that I have passed it on to my son, and at least one of his children. My second daughter does not have the mutation. My oldest daughter has not been tested.
As a person without a medical background, I am always hesitant to believe what I read online. There are so many opinions that present as fact and then there are those sites that are trying to sell their product. I trust my doctor, we have a solid relationship. He is always open to my ideas, he trusts that I know my body and mind better than anyone else. I am of the opinion that I need to take an active role in my health care.
I guess right now, I am trying to put it all together. There seem to be more variables than I would like to be addressing; there are a lot of contributing factors. I do not know what to prioritize, that seems to be my biggest dilemma. I need guidance, I guess , I will make a list of all my questions and concerns. I can present it at my next appointment and hopefully we can figure out some answers. I am not enjoying feeling this floundering.
