Vitamin D

NAS91691

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

  • Do not worry, I have had both Vitamin D and B12 and iron deficiencies, which they provided me with strong supplements to take. The second time, I had to go buy my own after they said my levels had dropped again but they weren't going to give me the supplements as it wasn't as serious as the first time. It is recommended that a lot of people take Vitamin D supplements as we don't really get the most sun here in the UK, especially in the winter months.
