Chance15 Is there no number at the side of that 25 OH Vit D?

If not, considering your dire B12 and folate results, I would ask your GP to test Vit D or do your own home fingerprick blood spot test with City Assays for£28 vitamindtest.org.uk/index.html

The acceptable criteria to do vitamin D is joint and muscle pain plus someone who is housebound. If you can point out that you don't go out due to the first then you may get tested.

They are trying not avoid doing it because so many people are insufficient and deficient they just don't want to pay for the test, pay for repeat tests every couple of years and be forced to prescribe a small amount of vitamin Dwhich does SFA if the person is insufficient.
