Hi @rfloyd, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! How awesome that your doctor tested you genes to figure out you hypermetabolize drugs!

I have several genetic variants that change how my body functions. I could not be happier that my doctors make more informed treatment decisions and generations in my family after me have this information earlier so their doctors can do the same.

Would you share more about your genetic variants affecting your treatment decisions? Do you know what drug(s) are particularly good or off-limits for you? Where did you get your testing?

@jlharsh I received my test from Bio- Genetics in Florida. Gave me lists of drugs for certain drugs I should take for muscle relaxers and what drug I should avoid . Their are some drugs that are very bad for me. So the Genetics testing is pretty cool.
