just curious as i thought she was only ordering b12 for the time being! i’ve presented with altered sensation all over my body and hypothyroidism (which is suspected hashimotos but i don’t think she actually tested if it is or not).

It’s certainly sensible to test folate at the same time as B12.

As regards liver function, why not ask the doctor?
