View allI've been experiencing sudden sweating and a sort of flurry feeling, and I've had a bunch of tests done with nothing major coming up except for a B12 and vitamin D deficiency, as well as high cholesterol. Is there something specific I should be worried about or maybe something else I should check out? I'm just not sure what's causing these symptoms.

Can someone let me know where I can get B12 injections in Bengaluru? I've been struggling with my weight and my metabolism is pretty slow. I read online that these injections might help with burning carbs and fats. Id love any advice or information on this.

My mom's been dealing with low bone density and has a high risk of fractures due to osteoporosis. We've talked to two doctors; one mentioned trying Forteo and the other suggested Terifrac. I'm trying to figure out if there's any difference between these two injections, and which one might be the better choice. She's been on Terifrac for six months now, and I'm wondering if we should stick with it or switch to Forteo. Any advice?
