Vitamin D levels
Hi guys, have a blood test at my GP tomorrow morning after I sent a message about getting my Vit D, Folate, Ferritin, B12 etc tested Is it the case now that if deficient, GPs won't treat? My levels a couple of years ago were 16 so very deficient Just worried if it comes back that low again, that GP

Iron Infusions
When I was first diagnosed with my
B12
deficiency, they also found that my
vitamin
D was deficient and my iron was only just in normal.

Are my vitamins at optimal levels ??
My last medichecks results for vitamins are Folate - 40.7 ( range is 8.83-60.8 )
B12
active - >150 ( range is 37.5-188 )
Vitamin
D - 139 ( range is 50-250 ) Ferritin - 272 ( range is 30-150 ) I'm wondering what I should be aiming for as I keep reading that the thyroid medication don't be as effective

Numb hands 😞
Hello, I have been suffering with numb hands at night and during the day for a while. They really hurt at night and wake me up. It seems that it's made worse by laying on my side and not so connected to the position of my wrists. Splints don't make much difference. Has anyone had anything similar and

Range for B12d
Just wondering if I am misunderstanding the use of the the range for B12.My local health centre has a set range of 150 - 1000. 0. How does this work? If someone's level is, say, 155, is this believed to mean that this person is considered to be as well, in B12 terms, as another person who's B12 level

Meds Review.
Had a meds review yesterday with the very helpful Pharmacist attached to our GP surgery. I have spoken to him before when he switched me from lansaprozole to famotidine. He even asked me how I was getting on with that yesterday.Went through all my issues which may be linked to my meds: tiredness, fatigue
