[quote=Anonymous]I just recently had all my battery of tests done after two miscarriages. As expected, I m hypothyroid due to Hashimoto's. No big surprise there really and Dr Abassi prescribed synthroid for it. However the unexpected part was the MTHFR mutation found. I'm pretty bummed but I want to take care of it.  Abassi lightly explained I'm heterozygous  c677 and prescribed folgard. I'm a doctors daughter and probably a terrible patient but I'm used to reading before taking anything. So I read that folgard is the wrong way to go. A better (yet perhaps not the ideal) way to go is taking Metanx.

I read many articles saying that Flogard is the rookie fix and could actually be more damaging than beneficial.  I'm wondering for those of you that found have the MTHFR mutation what were you prescribed?

While I obviously went to dr Abassi to get pregnant I truly believe that the first item should be to get me healthy. I'm not really interested on easy fixes and her prescribing Folgard gave me the feeling she doesn't know what she's doing. Sad because I really liked her.[/quote]
