    I appreciate it more than you could understand; we’ll look into it. Doctors have all told her “it is what it is, nothing we can do about it”. So finding someone else who knows a little bit about this is a huge relief. I appreciate you.

      I don’t know exactly what your wife is sensitive to, but I had a similar reaction to drugs that shouldn’t have done a thing to me. No one in my life has ever told me about pharmacogenetic testing, the ONLY reason I ever heard about it is because my new GP used to be a pharmacist.

      I tell everyone about it now. You know all those friends who spent a year or two trialing different mental health meds to find one that worked? What if they could just get this test and immediately knock off any that they won’t react to and be forewarned about any they might be sensitive to? It’s amazing!
