I'm really struggling here. I've had severe anxiety for 12 years, but these past 5 days have been rough. Even a little bit of work leaves me exhausted, with body aches, palpitations, and extreme tiredness. I always thought it might be a heart issue, but I've had an echo and TMT done before. So, I recently checked my vitamin levels, and my vitamin D is at 10, and vitamin B12 is at 176. Could all of this be because of a vitamin D deficiency? Are these levels really concerning? Can someone please help me figure this out?

Based on your symptoms and the low levels of Vitamin D and Vitamin B12, it is likely that your symptoms are due to these deficiencies. To address this, you can start taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Calcirol" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by once a month. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can take "Becosules" capsule once daily for a month. Additionally, make sure to spend some time in the sun for natural Vitamin D synthesis and include Vitamin D and B12 rich foods in your diet. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with slightly elevated thyroid levels and I'm on Eltroxin 75 mg. I'm working on losing weightI'm going to the gym every day and I've lost a decent amount so far, but now my weight loss has stalled. Someone suggested I try creatine to boost my weightlifting and help burn more fat. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's safe with my thyroid situation. I also drink a lot of water, about 67 liters daily, in case that matters. Do you think creatine would be okay for me to use?

Since you are taking Eltroxin and are focusing on weight loss and fitness, adding creatine to your regimen can be safe
