Help with supplements please

I am under monitoring by my doctor for the following:

Iron deficiency anaemia diagnosed in 2013, monitored every 2 months, iron infusion done in mid 2016 but anaemia returned in Feb 2017 and was on 1 iron tablet for this. Now getting 2nd iron infusion next week.

Folate anaemia diagnosed in 2017, taking 5mg folic acid

Vitamin D deficiency diagnosed in late 2013, monitored every 6 months, taking 800iu D3 but I increased to 3000iu in March 2014 on advice of a friend. Level still not improving that much after 4 years

APRIL 2018

FERRITIN 21 (30 - 400)

FOLATE 2.2 (2.5 - 19.5)

VITAMIN B12 236 (190 - 900)

DEC 2017

VITAMIN D TOTAL 55.1 (< 25 severe, 25 - 50 deficiency, 50 - 75 suboptimal, > 75 adequate)

List of symptoms:

Goitre

Dry skin

Sweating

Constipation

Pins and needles

Tiredness

Muscle cramps and twitches

Weight gain

Heavy periods though this one is scanty - almost as if I've run out of blood?

Breathlessness

Pains in ribs and joints

Thank you
