I've been dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency for a couple of months and started getting B12 injections weekly for six weeks. I just got my levels checked again, and now they're over 2000. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Also, I have some other blood work results like hemoglobin at 15, platelets at 346, and WBC at 7800. I'm curious if these are all interconnected somehow. What's going on with my blood tests?

I'm dealing with a pretty low vitamin B12 level, around 72Pgml, and I've been having some back and shoulder pains. Sometimes I even feel a bit dizzy. Could this be linked to the low B12? What can I do to get it back to normal?

To address a low vitamin B12 level of 72 pgmL, consider the following steps: consult your doctor about starting vitamin B12 supplements, either orally or through injections, aiming for a daily dose of 2.4-2.6 mcg; increase dietary intake of B12-rich foods, such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and fortified plant-based milk; and address potential underlying causes of deficiency, such as gastrointestinal disorders or medication interactions; regarding symptoms, yes, low B12 levels can cause back and shoulder pain, dizziness, fatigue, and numbness or tingling sensations, so correcting the deficiency may help alleviate these symptoms.

I'm a bit worried about my health. My neutrophil count is 80, and I've been dealing with some kind of illness. At times, my skin develops these red patches, which seem to stick around for a week or two before slowly changing color. Do you have any idea what might be happening or if there's something I should be doing about this?
