I'm really confused about something. I was dealing with severe weakness and muscle pain, so I got tests done for vitamin B12 and vitamin D. My vitamin D level came back at 10, and my vitamin B12 was 176. After that, I took injections for both vitamins and started taking B12 tablets every night, plus the Uprise tablets for vitamin D every week. But after just 4 days, I got tested again, and my vitamin B12 level shot up to over 2000, while my vitamin D went up to 17. Is it normal for levels to change that quickly? What could be going on?

Nothing to worry about. Detailed history is always important

I'm 21 years old and stand 5'1". I've heard about speed height capsules and ashwagandha powder. Are there any medicines or supplements out there that can actually help in increasing height? I'm really curious if these options work or if there are others I should consider.

Delayed periods can be concerning. Before considering any medication, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying causes, such as: 1. Pregnancy 2. Hormonal imbalances 3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 4. Thyroid issues If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe: 1. _Medroxyprogesterone acetate_ (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles. 2. _Norethisterone_ (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods. Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to: 1. Unintended side effects 2. Interactions with other medications 3. Masking underlying conditions Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
