Hello 👋
Thank you for sharing your concern — I understand how uncomfortable it can feel to deal with multiple symptoms like joint pains, weakness, and brain fog at such a young age. Let’s go through this step-by-step.
Your symptoms — multiple joint pains, loss of appetite, and fatigue/brain fog — suggest a few possibilities:
1. Post-viral or autoimmune cause – conditions like early rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or autoimmune
thyroid issues can start this way.
2.
Vitamin deficiencies – especially Vitamin D3,
B12, or low
ferritin can cause joint discomfort, fatigue, and mental fog.
3. Metabolic or hormonal imbalance – sometimes seen with thyroid disorders.
About your reports:
Your Hemoglobin (13.4) is perfectly normal.
Your Blood Urea Nitrogen (4.99) is slightly on the lower side but not worrisome — it often happens if you’re not eating enough protein or are mildly dehydrated.
What you should do next:
Get a few additional tests: Vitamin D3,
Vitamin B12, Thyroid profile (T3, T4,
TSH), ESR, and
CRP.
Increase hydration and protein intake (milk, eggs, dals, paneer, etc.).
For now, you can take a balanced multivitamin and mild pain relief if required.
Once these reports are reviewed, we can decide if this is nutritional, post-viral, or autoimmune — and begin proper treatment.
For a detailed review of your reports and to create a personalized recovery plan, you can message me directly on WhatsApp — nine three two six zero two zero five three six.
I’ll help you identify the exact cause and guide you on how to fix the fatigue and pain naturally and effectively.
