I have vitamin D and calcium deficiency. However, taking calcium supplements causes my hair to turn gray. I tried taking calcium with vitamin D, but after stopping the vitamin D dosage, my vitamin D levels went down again.

Deficiency in vitamin D and calcium may require long term care. Hair greying from calcium is rare could be coincidental. If vitamin D drops again, maintenance doses may help. Retest before adjusting supplements. Get a repeat Vitamin D Test and Serum Calcium Test.

I have pain in my hands and legs, but there is no swelling. My blood report, sugar, BP, and CBP are all normal. This has been happening for the last 15 days and it is not affecting my routine activities. What could be the cause?
