View allI'm really confused about something. I was dealing with severe weakness and muscle pain, so I got tests done for vitamin B12 and vitamin D. My vitamin D level came back at 10, and my vitamin B12 was 176. After that, I took injections for both vitamins and started taking B12 tablets every night, plus the Uprise tablets for vitamin D every week. But after just 4 days, I got tested again, and my vitamin B12 level shot up to over 2000, while my vitamin D went up to 17. Is it normal for levels to change that quickly? What could be going on?
Nothing to worry about. Detailed history is always important

Just found out I have hypothyroidism with normal T3 and T4 but TSH at 24. My doctor started me on thyroxine 100mcg. I need to get a dental surgery done with local anesthesia soon should I wait until my TSH levels are normal or can I go ahead with the procedure now?
It's generally recommended to wait for TSH levels to normalize before undergoing dental procedures with local anesthesia, as hypothyroidism can affect the body's response to anesthesia and other drugs. Waiting for TSH levels to normalize allows the thyroid hormone levels to stabilize and improves the overall management of the condition
