Thank you so much for all your insight. What omega 3 supplement do you recommend? I do have some ground flax that hubby uses in smoothies, and a bottle of flax oil that we use occasionally.
Vaccines-I'm so mixed on this. I know why we need them, and I vax my kids and myself (to protect my kids), but they do terrify me and I think I'll skip as many as possible in the future.
Do you have a methylated b12 and folate you personally like?
Lyme-it's my understanding that the ELISA, which I've had, is the worst test, with the western blot better and whatever Igenex uses the best. I'm thinking of seeing what I need to do to have it run through them. Anyone know?
Heavy metal testing-will my doc look at me like I have 2 heads if I ask this or is it a normal blood test?
Viruses-I don't get cold sores, but have had chicken pox as a child and shingles in my 20s.

Flax oil is important too.
The vaccines are a problem. We've had people here with reactions to rabies vaccine, the adult whooping cough and H1N1 and other flu vaccines.
Even if your MTHFR comes out okay, I'd do the methylated B12 and folate as insurance since you have had 2 children recently. It takes a while to rebuild after having babies!
You might consider some heavy metal testing.
Also that then leaves LYME. We have a member here who had a relatively new test which he claims is the best:
The links to the new test are in post #2:
If you get cold sores, and/or have had chicken pox...I'd try some l-lysine to see if you are having some Herpes action going on in the dorsal roots along the spine. These viruses activate under stress and illness and cause much grief. One gram a day to start and raise to 2 grams after a week. See what happens.
