@rgg, just to make sure you know where I am coming from, I have several DNA-type diseases which work for and against each other. Gelsolin, Fukutin Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Acute Lymphocytic(?). Leukemia, various anemias, cancers, Encephalopathy, Blepharochalasis, Hypothermic and hyperthermic Sensitive Purpura, etc. I have begun a list of the DNA I have which may or may not be active but which are damaging if they do start operating. Strangely, the labs can not find any evidence that I have had chicken pox or mumps. However, I have been diagnosed with each by MDs multiple times, including 5 times for mumps. So far, there are about 90 of the DNA disorders/diseases. About 50 are considered clinically active at this time. But I am almost 81 years old, so I can collect anything I want, I guess. When I was born, the MD said he did not expect me to see my third birthday, so I have outlived that guess. Just make sure you protect you health as best you can, and don't be afraid of what happens next. I have had 30 heart catheterizations and 2 cardiac bypasses, and 8 cancer surgeries. Now it turns out that most of this could have been avoided if I had known about my DNA much earlier. And the environmental impacts which may have altered my genetic structures. Radon, Nuclear test radiation, Round-Up, 2-4-d, 2-4-5T, DDT, Sulfa, Ether, Very cold, very hot work sites. Insects, work-until-total-fatigue-then-literally-drop. Any of these can cause variants to come along. And, oh, yes, I was born. That was quite the DNA-shaping experience. Try it some time.
@rgg The current struggle with Covid 19 is a good reminder that every part of our DNA affects every other part. I mention this because I have LGMDr23, diabetes 2, assorted myelomas and other cancers, etc. At 82, I am still quite strong. I must be, as I can pick up almost anything the labs can sort out. And, here is the good part: With what I have, the most effective treatment for Diabetes 2 I know of is the current Hot Dog treatment for Covic 19, Paxlovir (I think that is correct--same as Biden is getting). I just finished my 5-day cycle of P., and my AM glucose has gone from around 160 to around 80. That's right eighty! I also take about 20 Novolin R before meals and sack time.. Certainly, you may wish to discuss this with your docs, and mention it to Pfizer if you get the same response. Anyone else getting this response? oldkarl
