Dear Patient,
Your symptoms—**extreme fatigue, dizziness, and abnormal lab values**—suggest multiple underlying issues that need targeted correction. Here’s a breakdown:
---
### **Critical Deficiencies & Abnormalities:**
1. **Severe
Vitamin B12 Deficiency (97 pg/mL)**
- **Optimal B12** is >400 pg/mL. Your level is critically low → causes fatigue, nerve damage.
- **Action**: Switch to **methylcobalamin injections** (1000 mcg weekly for 4 weeks, then monthly).
2. **Subclinical Hypothyroidism (
TSH 6.32 mIU/L)**
- **TSH >5.5** with symptoms warrants **levothyroxine** (25–50 mcg/day).
3. **Iron Deficiency (
Ferritin 49 ng/mL)**
- **Borderline low** → impacts energy. **Iron supplements** (Ferrous sulfate 100 mg/day + Vitamin C) for 3 months.
4. **
Vitamin D Insufficiency (22 ng/mL)**
- Needs **60,000 IU/week for 8 weeks**, then maintenance.
5. **High TLC/Neutrophils (15.2/9.12)**
- Suggests **chronic inflammation/infection** → Needs
CRP, ANA tests.

### **Why Current Treatment Failed?**
- **Oral B12/B-complex** cannot correct severe deficiency quickly.
- **No
thyroid medication** despite symptomatic TSH elevation.
- **Inadequate iron/Vitamin D dosing**.

### **Next Steps:**
1. **Repeat Labs**: B12, TSH, Ferritin post-treatment.
2. **Neurological Exam**: Rule out B12-induced neuropathy.
