I've been told by my doctor that I have a deficiency in B12 and Vitamin D. They've recommended B12 ME12 injection shots for me. I'm a bit concerned and curious about whether it's really safe for me to go with the B12 shots, or if taking a capsule could be a better option instead. Can you help me understand the differences or what might be best for me?

B12 injections like ME-12 are effective for quickly raising levels, especially if your deficiency is significant or absorption is an issue. Capsules can also work if your body absorbs them well, but injections may be recommended for faster results. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best approach.

View allI've just been bitten by a cat, but luckily it didn't break the skin. There's just a small, light mark on my leg. I got a tetanus shot about three months ago, so I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to do. Should I be worried or do anything specific now?
If there is exposure of deeper skin layers or blood you have to recieve complete dose of anti rabies vaccine,if not noneed to worry just wash it with soap and leave it,and with TT vaccine as you have revieved 3 months ago,no need to take for a minimum period of 3 years.

I've been feeling really cold and shivery, with no energy at all. I had a slight fever with dizziness starting around 2am yesterday. I'm also dealing with diarrhoea, and I tried taking Digene a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice on how to feel better?
digene is a antacid and it doesn't help much in loose stools.

I'm a 32-year-old guy and I've been dealing with something odd for a while. My body, especially my hands, always feel really hot, and people often ask me if I have a fever when I shake their hands. This has been going on for many years and I'm starting to get worried. Could there be something going on with my health? Any advice would be appreciated.
it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating that can make your body feel hot. I recommend trying anticholinergic medications such as Glycopyrrolate. This medication can help reduce excessive sweating and make you feel more comfortable. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that may worsen your symptoms.
