For the past 20 days, I have been experiencing stiffness in the fingers of both hands when bending them, along with frequent popping or cracking sounds in my fingers, wrists, and shoulder joints. I have tested negative for Rheumatoid Arthritis. In my recent blood tests, my random blood sugar level was 155 (normal range is 70 to 140), and my Vitamin B12 serum level was 932 (normal range is 200 to 900). Additionally, my MCH and MCV levels are low, and my Mean Platelet Volume is higher than the normal range. I would like to know what these findings indicate about my health, and why my Vitamin B12 level is elevated. What could the test report suggest?

Mild hyperglycemia and vitamin B12 supplementation could explain findings. Joint symptoms may be early arthritis. Monitor sugar and consult rheumatologist.

Please see the attached picture of my white tongue. I had oral sex and took HIV ELISA and CMIA tests at 5 weeks, 5 months, and 24 weeks after exposure, all were negative. However, I still have a white coating on my tongue (which I can scrape off in the morning while brushing) and occasional joint pain. I read on the internet that these could be symptoms of HIV, and I have been very worried for months. Are my test results conclusive, or do I need further testing?

My blood report shows B12 as 63 indicating deficiency and vitamin D as 11.1 indicating insufficiency. I am a pure vegetarian. Is Supradyn okay for this and do I need to take B12 injections as a supplement?

My 5 year daughter has premature white hair around 30. Her B12 test report is 890. Doctor prescribed placentrex gel, octomop tablet two times a week and B complex with vitamin C syrup. I am very worried as her B12 is already high. My husband also had premature white hair in school. Kindly suggest. Should I stop medication? Is any other test required? How to stop white hair?
