It is because there is a high possibility that your body is unable to absorb the vitamin B12 available in the foods you are consuming.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a Urine Protein Test Test or Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test

My unmarried relative has been suffering from nerve tingling on the left side of her body, from head to toes, including the left side of her back. A local doctor prescribed a course of 7 injections in the elbow area, but after taking them, she is now feeling even more tingling. I have attached her blood report for your review. Kindly go through the report and suggest what needs to be done.

Please check my X ray and HRCT report. I am feeling always tired and weak and not able to do normal exercise. I also have pain in my left hand?
