Hi

So I had a blood tests 2 weeks ago but they missed out my b12/folate/pa test so I’m just wondering does anyone know of anywhere else I can get these tests privately? I’l willing to pay for it at this point I can’t function anymore :(. I wanted the Superdrug extended one but it doesn’t seem to be in stock online. I have the blood tests for my b12 booked in two weeks with my doc but I feel so unwell I can’t wait that long but that’s the only appointment they had. :(

If you've got a blood form just go to your nearest hospital. I havd to book but much quicker.

Or drop in blood tests NHS.

A private test is fine but if you want NHS treatment try and get an NHS blood test sooner.

It was their error after all.

Some Gps will/ can't accept private test results.

Or get a private Gp appointment

Medichecks has a PA panel that includes active B12 (not the standard serum one), folate, IFAB, MMA. But not homocysteine nor GPC antibodies.

If you want just B12 + folate, you might browse through the private labs listed on the ThyroidUK website thyroiduk.org/help-and-supp...

You might be able to use the thyroiduk medichecks discount code for PA testing as well.
