I'm so glad you were able to get to the bottom of this. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with me. I am even more sure now this is what's been wrong with my poor husband.
It's been really hard to feel so helpless as his wife. I've watched him struggle for years and tried so hard to help him. We found things like beets, NAC, and magnesium helped alleviate some of his symptoms. And his symptoms would sometimes get better for no apparent reason. (I'm guessing that was in times he was getting more B vitamins in his diet). It was maddening.
It's such a relief when my husband calls me every day at lunch, and I hear his chipper happy voice on the other end instead of his doom and gloom tone that he had most of the time. And we hope and pray that somehow THIS is the answer, and we will finally have a sweet baby all of our own.
Oh I do have another question. Are you allergic to laughing gas? This and the fact that my husband had a severe reaction when he took half an edible is the reason we started looking into all of this in the first place. It was honestly an accident that we found out this could cause fertility issues.
No idea about the laughing gas thing. only had it once when i got my wisdom teeth out. stayed awake the whole time but no bad reactions otherwise.
Do you have a sister? My wife divorced me after the strokes. I guess its the meds but my sex drive declined and I got a little depressed writing my last book -- understandable, it's about unsolved murders -- and I was shitcanned.
You're welcome, always happy to preach the gospel of MTHFR to try to help others avoid what i went through
My husband had a SEVERE reaction to laughing gas and the one time he had an edible. He said the whole room was spinning he got super nauseous. He threw up while having his wisdom teeth removed. He got covered in sweat and was burning up from the inside and was so sick. He was able not to throw up after the edible, but he just laid in bed moaning because he was so nauseous. It was awful! But it led us into doing research and we learned that his reaction is very rare, but it's tied with the MTHFR gene mutations.
Hahaha I actually have 2 sisters, but they are both married. So sorry to hear about your divorce that's awful. What kind of a woman leaves her husband because of health issues. So frustrating. For better or worse, in sickness and in health. Grrrr I'm very passionate about loyalty and faithfulness so that kind of thing really makes me angry. I hope that you can someday find a woman that will be a faithful life partner.
I'm also a writer (not published, my book is still a WIP), so I completely understand how your work can affect your moods. Sounds like you have been through the wringer, my friend. I hope we all get a better year when all this crap is finally resolved. I can't wait!
DM me if you ever have book q's. I helped my uncle's friend get his published and would be glad to help you too. :)
Thank you! I will! I'm still working on my first draft, so it will be a while haha!
