Your vitamin D is seriously low. I suggest you take that result to GP. You probably really need loading dose (very high dose) to start with.

If just going to treat yourself, you could start with oral mouth spray Vit D by Better You.

I see from previous post you are taking B12 already

Are you also taking a good quality Vit B complex? This will improve your low folate

Eg Jarrows B-right

According to this link if supplementing Vit D, we need Vit B complex for this anyway

drgominak.com/vitamin-d-hor...

"Usually within the first year of vitamin D supplementation the B5 body stores get used up and new symptoms of pain, burning and balance difficulties begin. Patients who have fibromyalgia or arthritis or autoimmune disease are already severely B5 deficient even before their vitamin D deficiency is detected"

SlowDragon, Thank you so much for taking the time to help me sort this. I am getting right on this deficiency now! I am on a quality B-12, but will get B-complex as well.

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to SusanKay]

You might find the vitamin B goes in with a bit of a whoosh or that it makes you feel a bit wired or difficult to get to sleep initially. (I found that improved after 3-4 days)

Best to take it early in morning with breakfast. You might start with half dose (perhaps tip powder out of capsule and divide up)

I am afraid my knowledge is limited on rT3 - and your results do not indicate T3 is needed in the short term. As SlowDragon has indicated your VitD is seriously low and having good levels could help your symptoms. Also supplementing adequately as advised could help everything to work better for you.

[SusanKay in reply to Marz]

Thank you Marz. I get a bit confused and want very much to get it right.
