FERRITIN normal

FOLATE 2.2 UG/L (2.5 - 19.5) started on folic acid 5mg

VITAMIN D 33.8 NMOL/L (25 - 50 DEFICIENT) taking 800IU D3

VITAMIN B12 198 PG/L (190 - 900) started on B12 injections in a month's time.

Thank you for any advice

What is your "normal" Ferritin result?

Folate and B12 are being addressed but folic acid apparently should not be started until after starting B12 injections.

Your dose of D3 is too low. You are just 3.8 away from where you would be prescribed loading doses. You could buy your own D3 and follow the dosing schedule for Vit D deficiency the NICE Clinical Knowledge Summary recommends here

Scroll down to

For the treatment of vitamin D deficiency"
