I'm pretty sure there was a thread here (very) recently on a new DNA test which determine which meds are best suited for our individual makeups.
I'll be doing this test with my pdoc soon. He explained it determines the level of something (very medical, I know!) in our liver which shows how we metabolize meds. I think.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!

No experience but was it slow & fast metabolizer of meds? Phillipa

I'm not sure, but I don't doubt that would be part of it...

I'm excited for you! I had started a thread on the possibilities of DNA testing, and I think Twinleaf had a positive experience with using it.

>Thanks, Dinah! I'm certainly curious to see how it goes. I vaguely remember one Babbler commenting that her results were different from the meds that actually work for her. I'm going into it with an open mind , so we'll see...

Will do, Phillipa. I'm not sure when the test is, but it's sometime in the next few weeks.
