In my opinion

B12 is OK, from what I understand it's when it's below 70 that consideration should be given to possibly testing for B12 deficiency.

Folate is on the low side, it should be at least half way through range so aim for 15.5 plus and eating folate rich foods and maybe a good B Complex with methylfolate (not folic acid) should help.

CRP is at the higher end of it's range and if it was over range we'd be wondering if there was any infection or inflammation causing it.

Ferritin is good but probably best not to go higher if supplementing.

SeasideSusie Many thanks for your feedback, that's exactly what I needed specifying as the Dr's report was only "normal" of course. I will get the B Complex sorted out. I suspect the high end CRP has its source in my kyphoscoliosis (curvature in two planes) and the deterioration in the length of my spine, plus toes/thumbs RA. Thank you again.
