Hi all! So following my Medichecks results I made an appointment to see my GP. Medichecks put on my report that my folate was low at 8 (range 7-35) but they count 7-13 as being deficient. My active b12 was 53.6. Medichecks suggested I get an MMA test as my result although in range is at the lower

Hi,I've been pointed to the PAS forum by the good members of the HU thyroid community. I'm a 42 year old male and have struggled with hashimotos hypothyroidism since 2018, with the last 2 1/2 years been very challenging.
