    Have you got the printed results for vit D tests etc? How deficient are you? If you are deficient, were supplements suggested?

      Your Vit D is pretty low and B12. What is your diet like? I must admit I have been prescribed folic acid and vit D, but my B12 is OK. I do eat a lot of green veg particularly spinach.

    I think.most of us are low in vitamin d I now take d3 10,000iu as even when docs put me on higher levels of it they still stayed low and vitamin d deficiency can cause all kinds of problems. The other thing though is that certain diseases can stop us absorbing vitamins, so further tests should be done, an MRI, as I am now awaiting, if only to rule out certain conditions. Did they do neuro tests for clonus? I cant see those pictures what are they?

      Did they tell you what the vit d level was? B12 seems to be another common one for being low.

      I don't understand what's going on. I ended up buying b12 pills too cos they said it was "on the cusp" . My iron levels were low too. I would say if all if those are low it's not anxiety alone. They should be finding out why they are.all.low. Clonus is what they discovered I have after doing neuro tests, testing reflexes, Hoffman's test, the foot one that I cant remember the name. Anyway clonus was diagnosed and now I have to have another brain scan and see a neurologist. Have they done Ana blood test to see whether you have an auto immune disease?
