High MCV & MCH indicate macrocytosis. The cells are bigger and carry more hemoglobin.

My report shows Vitamin B12 level at 169 and Vitamin D3 level at 14. I have been experiencing symptoms like inflammation around the anus and general body discomfort. I started treatment with five doses of Eldervit 12 injection and two doses of Arachitol 6L. Although the symptoms improved, some of them have returned. I am also taking Caldikind Plus one tablet daily, Neurobion two tablets daily, and Uprise D3 once a week. I would like to know how many more doses I should take and when I can expect complete relief from all symptoms.

In my recent blood test, my Vitamin D25 level is 22 ng/mL and Vitamin B12 is 163 pg/mL. Could you please suggest appropriate supplements or medications to correct these deficiencies?
