Good morning (In CA anyway)
Does your genetics dept or the Epilepsy Center participate in the gene sequencing program that sends a patients gene profile to researchers around the world where various scientists try to decipher why a person has Epilepsy?
Thanks much,
Jake

I have been on ambien for 10 years and have not been successful in getting off of the drug. It works well for me, however, I am having memory issues for past 6-12 months. Interested in my DNA and whether their is something that I can do to stop the memory loss....my grandfather committed suicide and I don't want to go down that path either. Of course, I don't know if ambien is the cause or just my age @ 68. Have had a great life and having memory loss and an addiction is not something that I anticipated..........very challenging. I believe that accurate health/dna information can be very valuable and just want to have a high quality of life without an addiction and with my mind working!! May just need to have a better diet, less stress and more exercise --- wonder if our DNA can predict specifically what will help. .............. I believe it probably can, if not today, then maybe someday.

I assume Mayo doesn’t participate in the Epilepsy gene program that I mentioned earlier.
