Since I can pay for a private test and feel OK (two people I know that got NHS tested and prescribed vitamin D actually felt low, no energy...clear symptoms) I wouldn't annoy the NHS with it, would be more curiosity.
Perhaps I should do it and see what comes out of it :)
But in your case, yeah that's not so good, it is better if the GP follows up.
She doesn't like vitamin drops?
JWestland-
She doesn't like vitamin drops?
She is old enough to swallow a tiny 5mm pill.
The mention of vitamin drops reminds me of when she was a baby and we had to give her loads (abidec, folic acid, iron, gaviscon IIRC). She wasn't keen on that lot but she was also <1 so I assume has forgotten all about it.

Getting tested at the moment is extremely difficult.
My daughter was diagnosed as vitamin D deficient by our GP about 18 months ago. She should have had a re-test in the spring to see if things have improved but it's apparently not an urgent enough blood test to happen at the moment. More than slightly frustrating since there were other things not in the normal ranges too. In the mean-time we continue to give her a daily high dose supplement as instructed which annoys her.
