Henri, maybe you could check with your GP receptionist to make sure.

B12 335 is low. You need to supplement 1,000mcg methylcobalamin sublingual lozenges, spray or patches for B12 and take a B Complex vitamin to keep the other B vitamins balanced.

If the result is folate 3.5 supplement folic acid or methylfolate for 3/4 months.

I would say more like 7000 mcg. And you need to take a B complex with it, so if you get one with methyl folate, rather than folic acid, then that will bring your folate up. :)

Ok thanks I'll go doctors tomorrow for a print out x

B12 is really low. Nhs will probably fob you off despite your symptoms correlating with low b12. Being within the nhs range does not equate to optimal for good health. Start supplementing asap.
