He has suggested I start taking Tyrosine and Methyl Folate every day, along with a little 5HTP and Glutathione. This should help aid my body in the processes that my body should be performing but isn't, due to these mutations.
I also tested for a few B- vitamins, after all the discussions here about B's.
They all came out in the normal range - interestingly B-1 came out high.
I just emailed my Neurologist - waiting to hear back.
Does any one else have these mutations?
