My family suffers from a genetic link for anxiety, my mother, sister,grandmother and I are all the same. Ive always believed thats there is some underlying cause for my anxiety. I do believe ill need CBT sometime but I must get my body chemistry correct. I had a whole batch of tests done three years ago and some things did come up, im low on vb1,vb2 and mag and zinc. Im high on lactic acid, histamine and I suffer mild leaky gut. I said thankyou very much for the information and did nothing about it.
I have been feeling really poor recently so I decided to have some more test done to see if they confirm the last results. This time I had a LOT of testing done, using mutiple methods to test vitamin,fatty acids and mineral status, through blood, plasma, hair and sweat. The lab im going to has a famous reputation as a centre of excellance. Its called biolab and there in london. Im very nervous about my results for reasons Im not sure. I guess im looking for a result that explains my problem, so I can go about fixing it. If the results come back all normal, in some ways I should be happy maybe its all in my mind and CBT should be my plan, but i still have a sneaking fealing theres a genetic link because so many members of my family are the same. I may never find out what the genetic link is and what it does to our family body chemistry. I kinda think I have a malabsorbtion problem (thats the theory for today) and im not getting the nutrients I need, I also know im short of zinc (spots on nails) and maybe short of iron (ridges on fingernails). I guess im hopping for is a exact match for the results last time(slightly different test then, mainly test done via urine not blood and just hair analysis for mineral which is a debatble testing method).
The other factor is, if I can find the link then maybe it can be of use to other members of my family. However god made the body so complicated that its never easy to work out whats going on. Ill let people know my results as soon as I have had a chance to digest the results
Cheers kiwi
