could do to have B12 checked. Do you have thyroid antibodies? often a cause of low vits. What are thyroid results like, TSH, T4 T3

I can't really add to the detailed reply I gave to your previous thread. You know you have deficiencies with iron and folate and I suggested that you speak to your GP, and that you need to get your Vit D up to 100-150nmol/L.

Why can't you speak to GP? How can you get any help or treatment if you don't discuss this with your GP? How do you intend to address these deficiencies if you don't see your GP?
