Looking for support
I've been going through a really tough time health-wise and I'm currently being tested for the MTHFR gene mutation. My sister has it, so there's a family connection there.
I wanted to reach out to this community because I'm feeling completely overwhelmed and exhausted, and I'd love to hear from anyone who's been through something similar.
Here's what I've been dealing with:
Depersonalization/Derealization (DPDR) - feeling disconnected from reality, like I'm in a dream
All-day panic attacks and severe anxiety
Frequent vomiting and random food allergies/sensitivities
Brain fog and confusion
Dizziness and visual disturbances
Chest tightness
Headaches
Tremors and tingling in my hands
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Intense fatigue - I feel overwhelmed and exhausted pretty much all the time
Low iron (suspected) and low TSH (suspected)
Mood instability and uncontrollable crying episodes
Dissociation and looping thoughts
I'm currently on Wellbutrin and waiting on Genesight test results before my psychiatrist adds anything else. Lab results so far haven't given me a clear explanation for everything I'm feeling, which is incredibly frustrating. Here are my labs
Has anyone dealt with MTHFR and symptoms like these? What helped you? Did methylation support (like methylfolate) make a difference? Did you find a doctor who actually took this seriously?
Any advice, experiences, or resources would mean the world right now. Thank you 🙏
