I'm not sure it's possible to just get a blood panel on the NHS. My instinct is that I'd need to actually show symptoms of a vitamin deficiency.

Thanks anyway though.

A basic blood panel is more or less the first thing doctors try when faced with uncertain symptoms. Go to your MD and complain about general weakness, random pains, strange headaches, and occasional fainting spells :-)

They shouldn't be too expensive to have done privately. We were able to get a basic panel in the US for under $200.

Yeah I had a quick look and that's about right for the price over here - certainly not doable for me, anyway.
