My blood report shows a very low total vitamin D level of 6.53. My doctor advised me to take Vitamin D3 Uprise once a week. She said to take it in the morning, but I am not sure if it should be on an empty stomach or after breakfast. Can you guide me?

A vitamin D level of 6.53 is severely deficient. Uprise D3 cholecalciferol should be taken after a full meal, preferably breakfast, as it is a fat soluble vitamin and needs dietary fat for absorption. Continue weekly dosing as advised and monitor levels after 8 weeks.

I have done an X ray and the report says lumbar spine straightening due to muscular spasm. I fell from my bicycle when I was 14 years old. Could this be the reason? My report is attached. Please help. My life is in trouble. Sometimes it feels like something is stiff and tight in my back.

I have numbness in my hands and legs so the local doctor suggested some tests. Please see my reports and tell me if all my tests are normal. Is there any problem with my report? My ESR is 2, CRP is 8.5, T3 free is 3.05, T4 free is 1.16, TSH free is 2.18, ANA is less than 0.5, vitamin D3 is 20.07, and vitamin B12 is 661.
