I've been dealing with vitamin D and B12 deficiencies for about a month now and it's causing me some issues. I've noticed that I don't have much of an appetite and Im having trouble with digestion, like my motions aren't normal. I also feel really tired and my joints are aching. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

Considering your Vitamin D and B12 deficiency, lack of appetite, digestion issues, tiredness, and joint pain, consult your doctor about taking supplements, and also focus on dietary changes, such as incorporating Vitamin D-rich foods like fortified dairy products, mushrooms, and fatty fish, and Vitamin B12-rich foods like dairy, eggs, and plant-based milk, while also addressing digestive issues through probiotics, fiber-rich foods, and adequate hydration.
