I think the takeaway here is stop worrying about your health at such a silly level. Live a good healthy lifestyle, free from stress, smoking, have a balanced diet, plenty of exercise.

If you go in search of a "diagnosis", you'll get one. Everyone will.

23 and me is an awful thing to do IMHO. It preys on people and turns them into hypercondriacs (For a fee).

Unless you're adopted and you want some sort of information where you have none. In that case, isn't it prudent to attempt to gather data on your genetics?

It's extremely frustrating when doctors/nurses/PAs ask me about family history and I tell them I was adopted. It shuts out an entire channel of potentially helpful information.
