Blood Tests

Hi there to everyone,

I’ve just joined the forum and when I read everyone’s symptoms I seem to have them all.

I’ve had blood tests at the Drs and that’s flagged up low folate so now on Folic Acid.

I would like to have my bloods done privately but have no idea which company to use.. any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thank you

ThyroidUK have a few recommended labs

thyroiduk.org/tuk/testing/p...

For thyroid/vitamin tests both Medichecks and Blue Horizon are very popular and do test bundles which are good value.

For the month of September, for tests not already on offer with Medichecks, using code MED99 will give 20% discount.

You have 6 months to use any test from Medichecks, and 12 months to use any tests form Blue Horizon.

Both companies offer fingerprick for a lot of their tests, or you can arrange venous blood draw if preferred at extra cost.
