I have been suffering from hand tremors and muscle weakness, which affect my ability to perform daily tasks. My hands shake a lot, causing me embarrassment, and this has been happening since I was around 14 to 15 years old. A doctor advised hormonal tests, and my report shows the following: S.Free T4 is 1.09 ng per dl (Reference range 0.8 to 2.0) S.TSH (Ultrasensitive) is 2.4 uIU per ml (Reference range 0.4 to 4.5) Active Vitamin B12 (HoloTc) is 36 pmol per L (Reference range 30 to 165) Are these test results normal? Is my report normal? Also, what could be the actual cause of my hand tremors and muscle weakness?

Symptoms may be due to borderline B12 or essential tremor. A neurologist consultation is advised for tremor. Consider B12 supplementation.

I consulted a doctor because I was having balance problems and vertigo, and I was told I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. My test result showed a level of 193. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte, Monobe (thiamine), and a multivitamin. I have been taking these medicines for the past 22 days. Although my symptoms have improved, I still have some problems. How long will it take to fully recover?

My wife, age 34, underwent pituitary tumor surgery 3 years ago. Her recent blood report shows Vitamin B12 is 927 pg/mL, hemoglobin is 10 g/dL, and PCV is 31 percent. She has been experiencing heavy gastric issues that do not subside even with medications like PPIs. Additionally, she has an enlarging fibroid. Her weight is 67 kg and blood pressure is 90/70 mmHg. Could you please advise how to reduce the heavy gas and manage her gastric discomfort effectively?
