I'm really worried about my wife. Her hemoglobin level is at 6.5, and she's also been dealing with chickenpox for the past two days. What's the best way to help increase her hemoglobin level during this time?

View allI'm dealing with a pretty low vitamin B12 level, around 72Pgml, and I've been having some back and shoulder pains. Sometimes I even feel a bit dizzy. Could this be linked to the low B12? What can I do to get it back to normal?
To address a low vitamin B12 level of 72 pgmL, consider the following steps: consult your doctor about starting vitamin B12 supplements, either orally or through injections, aiming for a daily dose of 2.4-2.6 mcg; increase dietary intake of B12-rich foods, such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and fortified plant-based milk; and address potential underlying causes of deficiency, such as gastrointestinal disorders or medication interactions; regarding symptoms, yes, low B12 levels can cause back and shoulder pain, dizziness, fatigue, and numbness or tingling sensations, so correcting the deficiency may help alleviate these symptoms.

I'm dealing with this condition called ITP, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and it's been about a month now. Initially, I had treatment with single donor platelets, 3 units, but they didn't work for me. After that, the doctor gave me 5 units of IV immunoglobulins, which brought my platelet count up to 80,000. But now, it's fallen back to 28,000. I'm really worried about this drop. Can you explain why this might be happening and what other treatments or steps I should consider?
