Hi Doctor, I reviewed my recent blood reports and would appreciate your advice.
* Folate (B9): 3.5 ng/mL (low)
* Vitamin B12: 245 pg/mL (low-normal)
* Vitamin D: 31.4 ng/mL (sufficient)
* Magnesium: 2.21 mg/dL (normal)
* Homocysteine: 22.7 µmol/L (elevated)
* CRP: 29.93 mg/L and ESR: 25 mm/hr (elevated)
Could you advise whether I need folic acid and/or B12 supplements, any additional tests, and when to repeat them? I’m also experiencing persistent calf and lower-leg pain. Could these results contribute to the pain, or do I need further investigations? My recent dental treatment may be relevant to the elevated CRP.
Thank you.
I have massive sleeplessness due to family abuse and trauma. Since December last year, they did something religious which caused sleeplessness. After that torture, 6 months later my family became abusive and more traumatic, this is now causing sleeplessness. physically, now I have severe muscle loss and water retention in body and am getting 5 hours of sleep and several arguments during daytime. How to reverse muscle loss and weight gain changes. Absolutely feel breathless and fatigued as well after torture
I am a 20-year-old woman with PCOS experiencing generalised skin darkening despite religious sunscreen use, approximately 10 kg weight gain after starting myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, recurring acne, skin texture changes, severe fatigue, weakness, brain fog, abdominal discomfort during running, and pelvic sensitivity. My thyroid, cortisol and CBC tests were reportedly normal. skin is a concern and I want oral medicine for that. My symptoms are affecting my daily functioning and quality of life. I need further investigation into the underlying cause and, importantly, assessment for appropriate oral medication rather than topical treatments alone. What investigations and treatment options would you recommend?
