Vitamin D

My son is currently on the Children's communication pathway. He's had blood tests which showed low himaglobin and ferritin, those are sorted now thanks to iron supplements, so cue the 2nd blood test which has now come back low vitamin d, has anyone had experience with this who can share the outcome? We've been told to wait for a prescription but I've no idea what it will be, how serious it is etc. Thanks in advance

  • Any lack of vitamins can turn serious if it's left - that's been my own experience though everyone's different. If I were you I would speak to the GP to rush the prescription or talk to someone in Shackletons if ones near you - they have trained medical professionals there who could advise you. I have an autoimmune disease and offer suffer with vitamin deficiency and the staff at Shackletons helped me.

    I hope everything works out ok for your son.
