Question 1

Hello doctor, my mother is 54 years old. She is suffering from severe pain in her whole body. Blood tests show calcium 8 and vitamin D 13. She is now unable to stand or walk. She has been prescribed Shelcal 500 mg once a day and cholecalciferol vitamin D capsule once a week. Her hemoglobin is 8. She is still not getting relief from pain and weakness in the bones. What should I do so that she can stand properly? Please help.

Question 2

I got an attack of mouth ulcer 1 month ago with approximately 5 big ulcers. After 3 weeks the ulcers were gone but my stomach pain started and I had harder stool. The doctor gave me medicine but small ulcers happened again and went away. The doctor did a vitamin D test and it was very low at approximately 9.36. He gave me medicine and I am on medicine. I have little weakness and back pain so I thought to do one CBC test. Please check my report and tell me if it is normal or if there is anything to worry about? Please help.

Question 3

I am a 32 year old male. My vitamin test report is attached. Please advise. I sometimes feel pain in my spinal cord and numbness in my lower foot and fingers. I do not have diabetes or high blood pressure.

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.
