Thank you Rose. The hematologist tested the homocysteine as part of a series of bloodwork. If I went to my primary doctor it would not have been something she normally would have checked. The main thing they told me to take was folic acid, followed by the b12 and b6. I got copies of the bloodwork but it is all foreign to me. It doesn't specifically state folic acid or b12 levels, however it does say to lower homocysteine levels to take supplements of folic acid, b12 and b6. (My level was 16.1)

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have had problems like Clare where I get very cold and my fingernails look blackish/blue near the cuticle. I thought it was my thyroid (my doctor has had to lower my medication twice since April, then added/stopped a supplement). But now I am thinking it is all related to the homocysteine levels. Only time will tell. I am going to check out your website. Thank you for your information. Take care!
