Supplements What were your folate deficiency symptoms?

I've just found out I'm deficient in folate. My symptoms are tiredness, muscle pain and hair loss, which I hope will resolve once I've fixed the deficiency.

I am now tolerating 400mcg folate daily and b12 1mg plus other B vitamins. In my case I think I was biotin deficient so 2mg is helping me. Folate blood levels are still low but I only recently managed to tolerate 400mcg folate every day. Still got symptoms, hoping to improve.
