Larry, I was tested recently and I am a poor metabolizer also. I was wondering if you (or anyone else who is a poor metabolizer) are having more troubles with your health than others.
I have tried so many medicines over the years and I always ended up having to take very small doses. Before it became obvious that I needed a small dose of most things I endured very severe side effects.
My nerves are so bad these days (to avoid going into all my symptoms) that I can't help thinking I've been damaged by the meds and possibly the odd blast of pesticide or other environmental chemical besides. I really fear I'll be one of these ones who get parkinson's as a result of dopaminergic neuron death due to chemical exposure, presuming a poor metabolizer ends up with more chemical exposure than a rapid metabolizer.
Do you know if this correlation (I've seen it written about) between an increased risk of parkinson's and being a poor metabolizer is a strong one? I've also seen an article about the increased risk of another disease though I can't remember what that was. Maybe there will be others that are picked up on in due course.
