Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on my latest test results. My backround is that I have been having symptoms exhaustion and tingling/numbness in my hands, feets and legs for months and months. I initially put it down to having 2 young children and breastfeeding them but turns out I have low folate and I have been put on Folic Acid tablets for 4 months. My Serum B12 was normal - 416 (range 180-700ng/l). So after a little research about the B12 test being inaccurate I self funded the Active B12 test. My Active B12 was in the grey area - 45 pmol/L so I did Serum MMA which came back today as normal - 0.19 umol/l (range 0.29-0.70umol/l).
So is the MMA result of 0.19umol/l confirmation that my symptoms are not due to vitamin B12 deficiency and ONLY due to low Folate?
I have included my other blood tests results below just in case they help. Thanks so much for any advice. x
