I've just gone through my body check-up results, and they show that I have a vitamin D deficiency. The level is at 10.7, and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 42. I've been having occasional lower back pain and Im worried it might be connected to the vitamin issue. Do you think I should start taking a vitamin D supplement? And should I be concerned about the lymphocytes level?

For your vitamin D deficiency, I recommend taking a supplement such as "Drisdol" at a dosage of 1000-2000 IU per day. This will help increase your vitamin D levels and may alleviate your lower back pain. As for the high lymphocyte count, it is important to determine the underlying cause. I suggest further evaluation by a healthcare provider to investigate possible infections, autoimmune disorders, or other medical conditions that could be contributing to the elevated lymphocytes.

I've been feeling really off since last year when I had a viral fever around August. While the fever went away, my skin has been feeling unusually hot ever since, like all the time, even though I don't have an actual fever. It's making me feel weak and constantly tired, and it's been going on for over a year. I've seen several doctors but haven't found any relief. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

Usually that's uncommon,check your body temperature with mercury thermometer,if it's normal you can neglect it,stay hydrated and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm really curious about something is there a specific type of tablet that can actually cause a fever? I came across some information, but it wasn't very clear. Could you maybe explain if this is safe or even possible? I'm a bit worried about what I've been reading.
