Question 1

I have tested my Vitamin D level at 120 and Vitamin B12 at 485. Could you please tell me what the healthy ranges are for these vitamins, and how I can maintain or improve my levels?

Question 2

Hi, I am a 20 year old female recently diagnosed with a very low vitamin D level, my 25(OH) Vitamin D (total) result was less than 8.0 ng per mL, based on a blood test done around 4 months ago. I was advised to take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 2 months. However, since I also have vitiligo and am currently undergoing depigmentation treatment, I strictly avoid sun exposure. I have heard that in such cases, a longer term vitamin D supplement may be necessary. Could you please guide me on how much vitamin D I should be taking daily in my situation? Also, should I be taking magnesium supplements alongside, and if so, in what dosage?

Question 3

Hello doctor, my mother is 54 years old. She is suffering from severe pain in her whole body. Blood tests show calcium 8 and vitamin D 13. She is now unable to stand or walk. She has been prescribed Shelcal 500 mg once a day and cholecalciferol vitamin D capsule once a week. Her hemoglobin is 8. She is still not getting relief from pain and weakness in the bones. What should I do so that she can stand properly? Please help.

A PTH level of 22 pg per ml is within normal range. Weakness could be due to other causes. Monitor calcium, Vitamin D, and continue care for other conditions.
