Hello @nana588 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I am a mentor, but I'm not a medical professional, so I can't answer your questions. I do know that having genetic testing will help your medical team to find drugs that will help and not cause serious side effects.
Are you considering genetic testing to find the most appropriate drugs?

yes I had this done and it helps a lot but doctors don't know how to deal with this. They act like I am way out of my mind. I wish the govt would help with this big problem. It would save so much bad reactions to drugs. I have been through a lot of drugs they gave me in the hospital when I broke my back and I felt like I was going nuts. Do you know anyone that could get through to the government? Thanks
