I'm looking to understand why there's a sudden increase in Vitamin B12 levels. The recent blood test showed it at 1346 pgml, whereas the normal range is 180-914 pgml. Could it be because of the Neurobian Forte injection she got when admitted to the hospital for a high fever a couple of weeks earlier? Could that injection have caused the spike? Any insights would be appreciated!

Elevated Vitamin B12 levels can be caused by various factors. Considering the recent hospital admission and Neurobion Forte injection, it's possible that the injection contributed to the high Vitamin B12 levels. _Neurobion Forte Injection_ 1. _Contains Vitamin B12_: Neurobion Forte injections typically contain a combination of vitamins, including Vitamin B12. 2. _High dose_: The injection might have contained a high dose of Vitamin B12, leading to elevated levels. _Other Possible Causes_ 1. _Recent supplementation_: Other Vitamin B12 supplements or multivitamins taken recently could contribute to high levels. 2. _Liver or kidney issues_: Certain liver or kidney conditions can cause elevated Vitamin B12 levels. 3. _Other medical conditions_: Some medical conditions, such as leukemia or lymphoma, can also cause high Vitamin B12 levels. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult the doctor_: Discuss the elevated Vitamin B12 levels with the doctor who administered the Neurobion Forte injection. 2. _Repeat testing_: Schedule a follow-up blood test to monitor Vitamin B12 levels. 3. _Review medication and supplements_: Ensure that no other Vitamin B12 supplements or medications are being taken.

I'm a bit concerned because my TSH level came back at 7.5 and my doctor advised me to take Thyronorm 12.5. Is this the right approach for my condition? Also, I'm a little confused about whether this means I have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Could you help clarify this for me?

Based on your TSH level of 7.5, the doctor's prescription of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is appropriate. This medication is used to treat Hypothyroidism, which is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Thyronorm helps to supplement the low levels of thyroid hormone in your body. The dosage of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is suitable for managing your hypothyroidism
