Hi Gillandandy

Personally I would not bother looking for a Home Test Kit, self diagnosis is probably akin to the dangers of self administration and the HoloTC business is complicated. However, the proper test only costs £18 at Guy's St. Thomas's Hospital in London and a postal kit with postage is only £12. That way you can be sure that the results you obtain are correct and you do not run the danger of incorrect results that could be very bad news for you in the future. For more details, please contact Denise O'blein on 0207 188 7188, she will explain everything to you, including the cost. You will of course need a referral letter from your GP, but who knows, he may even be willing to cover the cost of the test for you.

Good luck B12 Turbo
