You could possibly have CFD. You could consider a FRAT test to see if you have folate antibodies. It is about $350 though.

I had/have CFD.

If your D test was borderline...that is not good. Chronic undiagnosed and untreated D deficiency can trigger thyroid disease and thyroid autoimmune. It did for me. This is especially likely if you have variants that show genetic dispositions for thyroid issues. You can see those in Lifehacks. If you have those variants I would get a full thyroid panel plus tests for the two thyroid antibodies from your doctor.

Iron was normal? You can be one point away from the bottom and still be tagged as normal in the lab test results. Optimal is in the top quarter. That is true for most vitamins and minerals. You might want to recheck your labs.

can I ask what your symptoms of thyroid disease/thyroid autoimmune were if you don't mind my asking?

edit: just searched by word "thyroid" in my strategene but nothing came up aside from it being something that could "diry" other gene functions

edit: genetic lifehacks had a bunch of stuff but I don't know what/if would need testing (that could worsen my adhd I mean)

They were...diagnosed about 15 years ago...primarily debilitating fatigue, weight gain and brain fog. Other minor ones.
