You can search just as well as I can. I have no idea what is in the area you live in. However your heritage where you are suggests to me there must be genetic specialists where you live.

Ask to see what is in the test you are getting. Will it be a full genetic screen? Or only a partial for neuropathy? I think you should get a full test like janieg got for her issues.

Some doctors only test for specific problems and do not give a full workup. Did you check out her new thread yet?

It is sometimes difficult to shift from patient to being your own advocate. With time you'll learn much more if you are less passive with the doctors and do some research on your own.
Also make sure you get your B12 tested to see if that is seriously low. No supplements for several days before the test.

But for now, try not to overdo physical exercise, and eat a varied diet, avoid too much sugar and carbs. Look up each coded mutation and see how it impacts your metabolism. I found alot in just a few minutes. The malabsorption error you have suggests what nutrients you should concentrate on.
I would avoid the lipoic acid supplement as it takes up the multivitamin transporter, and prevents other crucial nutrients from getting to your tissues.

All you can do in the end is support your tissues with non-stressful activity, good food, good rest.
