I consulted a doctor because I was having balance problems and vertigo, and I was told I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. My test result showed a level of 193. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte, Monobe (thiamine), and a multivitamin. I have been taking these medicines for the past 22 days. Although my symptoms have improved, I still have some problems. How long will it take to fully recover?

B12 deficiency can take weeks to months to fully improve nerve related symptoms. Continue supplements. If symptoms persist beyond 2 to 3 months, consider B12 injections and neurologist review.

Is my report normal? What medication is needed to increase my chances of becoming a father? I do not drink, but my blood test from five months ago showed Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiency. Please advise.
