View allI'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?
Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and I spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer because of my software job. It's been about a year since I found out my uric acid levels were high, so I cut back on protein and I'm eating vegetarian now. I don't smoke, and I'm not really working out currently. My last uric acid level was at 7.0. I just got some blood work done, including Liver Function Tests, and it showed my globulin level is low at 1.81, and my albuminglobulin ratio is 2.81. Everything else in the LFT was okay. Is this something to be worried about? Should I be doing other tests to figure out what's happening, or could this all be related to my diet? What lifestyle or dietary changes do you recommend? And which kind of doctor should I get in touch with for advice?

I'm taking folitrax injection 15 mg every week and I'm just wondering, could it cause issues with my digestive system or liver? Also, are there any other noticeable side effects I should be aware of?
Folitrax (methotrexate) can cause digestive issues like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and stomach ulcers. It may also affect liver function, potentially leading to liver toxicity or elevated liver enzymes. Other side effects could include fatigue, mouth sores, and hair loss.
