Hi Vonnie

My GP prescribes 5 mg of Folic Aid daily. Have been taking this for about 1 yr so far. My Folic Acid rates are still only 2.6 so obviously I need this supplement.

Hi Chrissie, I apologise for not replying to you personally until now. Thank you very much for your reassuring reply. I was diagnosed on June, 2017 and believe it or not still get anxious if my treatment is altered to or added in anyway. I have been doing well on 400mg daily and have 3 monthly blood works done and consultation with my haematologist. On the latest consultation my bloods showed large red cells hence the reason for the Folic Acid. This site had proved so helpful and reassuring for me, so once again thank you. Stay safe.

You're welcome, Vonnie. Take care and keep safe,
