Joy of joys, I have a brand new shiny blood clotting disorder. Namely 'MTHFR'.
I have inherited 2 defective genes (one from each parent) which means I have the 'Compound Heterozygous' type of MTHFR.
What this means. It means my body may not properly absorb B vitamins, particularly folic acid, and it puts me at increased risks for clots / strokes / heart attacks.
How lovely.

I'm so sorry. that's a complete nightmare.
Have you googled it for information? can you help control it with diet and stuff?
Do you have to have like VtB supplements in the hope that you'll get enough out of a large dose, or somethign like that?
Man... bodies suck. They're just crap.
