Eva, my friend who is 89 has so many issues that have come on in the last 20 yrs I'd say. She also had a hip replacement the same year as me 2010 and she's gone downhill a lot since that surgery, a couple falls and fractures and the latest fall was about a week ago, in her apt, and the fall broke her shoulder...so in the hospital and now in rehab for who knows how long. So far the doctors are saying no surgery, surgery for this aged person can be so fraught with problems overall. About the mutation test, no I don't think she will venture there at this late date and with all her issues.

And if so many have this mutation issue, more shame on pharma world of continuing drugging the population for all the conditions they go to see their doctors. I know I've been a loud voice on my feelings about the modern medical industry here and every where I venture and this topic is discussed. C

So sorry to hear about your friend
Twenty years on a downward spiral
To be at an age where it is better left untouched
Makes me sad
So very sad
Be well C

It's hard to turn around an 89 yr old body. She goes to enough doctors now but I wouldn't even mention the mutation gene to her. There comes a time when acceptance for the most part and work on what we can. There is a lot of sadness in the world. But for a person who has lived almost 90 yrs, one has to keep their memories alive.

Eva, some others on another group are taking Deplin and wonder if you still are and how is it going for you. What dose are you taking now? Thanks.

Yes I am

As my eldest 15mg
Another child third in order 15 mg

Eva
