Severe vitamin d deficiency and folic acid, anyone else?

[harrietkatie]

I had my Dr call today with my blood results. CA125 was 29 which is great news. But my vitamin d was 4!! Unsure what be folic acid was but she said that was also bad too.

Unsure why vit d is so low. I work outside most the time and also walk my dog every day! I eat healthy too. But I guess it’s just one of those things??

Could it be link with the endo ? I am yet to be diagnosed, but consultant who is doing my lap said he most certainly thinks it is endo.

I guess the lack of vit d is why I am so utterly tired, exhausted even. Also why my hair is falling out so much too.

I think she said she has prescribed me folic acid to take for a month, and the vit d it’s three very high dosage tablets a week. Unsure for how long.

Curious if I need to wait a long time to see any benefits from these?? Xx

If she has prescribed folic acid just to let you know it is really cheap to buy from the vitamin section in the supermarket so you don't need to fork out for the prescription.

Hi, it was recently reported in the press that many of us are vitamin D deficient, especially in winter. We are all advised to take a supplement. So it’s a very widespread problem.
