I’m in agreement w/ Colleen…genetic testing is a start. However, I had a genetic test done in 2016. I have never had a “Dr” even look at it…in fact, one dr threw it in the trash ! So, I’ve had to research everything myself. It’s very time consuming & there’s a lot I don’t know still. Hopefully, if you have one, the ordering Dr will go over it with you.
Good luck.
P.S.
Mine was a pharmacological test, not sure if there’s a difference.
