I spoke to my GP who said i had not had a full blood screen since 2014!! (Despite tonsillectomy last year)

Anyhow..... folate is low so i have 4/12 of folic acid...

Have to have my Parathyroid rechecked & Vit D from mondays bloods.... i also have low calcium and low creatinine.

That worries me however it explains alot! Wonder whats causing that!! X

Im acutally quite worried about the bloods :0(
It's understandable to worry but at least you are being checked and I'm sure advice will be given when the reason for the levels is found.

It may well be the step towards you soon feeling well again.

A professional with more expertise will likely be along soon.

Take care Tinks.x

Thanks Mamya!!!!!! Ill wait.... impatiently lol xx
Vit D for example - a shortage is almost commonplace now, I'm on a high daily dose. But than I am ancient compared to you.
These results may be significant of disease or they may be within normal limits (you haven't given the figures).
The low creatinine is not that significant in itself, but the low calcium does need some explanation and the first port of call to explain this would be parathyroid investigations as suggested by you doctor.
Unusual, but one can have disorders of the parathyroid glands which are four small glands attached to the thyroid glands in the neck which control amongst other things calcium in the body.
Nothing drastic comes to mind at this stage.
P.S......I didn't comment on your folate deficiency.....I have no idea what is causing that.
