I'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?

I'm really worried because I've been taking methimez 20mg, as prescribed for my hyperthyroidism, but now I've been dealing with hypothyroidism for a year. Should I still be taking the same dose, or is there an adjustment needed? I'm feeling confused and concerned about whether I'm on the right track with my treatment.

I'm experiencing some weird symptoms lately like fatigue, weakness, hair loss, tiredness, and leg pain at night, along with some muscle pain and a bit of depression. I came across something online that suggests these might be signs of vitamin D deficiency. Could that be true for me? If I want to check, is there a specific test I should go for? Also, since I'm a vegetarian and don't eat eggs, I'm curious how I can naturally boost my vitamin D levels through diet or exercise without resorting to medicine. How long would it typically take to see any changes if I start making adjustments?
