Doctors’ responses
1. Your Vitamin D level (4.3) is very low supplements plus safe morning sunlight exposure are important.
2. Vitamin B12 is also deficient this can cause tiredness, nerve issues, and should be corrected with injections or tablets.
3. High CRP (6.2) suggests there is ongoing inflammation in the body could be due to weight, lifestyle, or other conditions.
4. At 90 kg, weight management through diet and exercise will also improve both vitamin levels and inflammation.
5. Please start supplements under doctor supervision and get a proper evaluation to rule out underlying causes of inflammation.

Given the results, it’s important to tackle the deficiencies and inflammation systematically. Starting with the Vitamin D deficiency, a level of 4.32 ng/mL is considered very low. It would be beneficial to start with vitamin D supplements at a higher dose, typically considered to be around 50,000 IU once weekly for 6-8 weeks, then recheck your levels. Consider discussing supplementation options with your healthcare provider to tailor it based on any specific needs or restrictions you might have and perhaps long-term maintenance at a lower dose following re-evaluation. Additionally, increasing exposure to sunlight, around 15-20 mins per day, if possible, can also contribute to natural production of vitamin D.
For Vitamin B12, where you’re under 100 pg/mL, you’ll likely need an initial course of B12 injections to rapidly correct the deficiency, followed by oral supplements. It’s critical to monitor your levels and symptoms regularly as B12 deficiency can impact neurological function. Discuss whether you should receive B12 shots weekly initially, moving to monthly as needed, based on how your levels respond. Including B12-rich foods like fish, meat, eggs, and dairy products might be beneficial as a daily dietary change.
Regarding the elevated HS-CRP level at 6.2 mg/L, which suggests an ongoing inflammatory process, it’s important to look into possible underlying causes. Factors like obesity, infections, or chronic conditions need to be considered. Weight management strategies are key here—aiming for gradual weight loss through a balanced diet and regular exercise not only reduces inflammation but also improves overall markers. Consulting with a dietitian may provide a specialized diet plan best suited to your needs. Ensure regular monitoring and perhaps further investigation depending on additional symptoms or risk factors that might be present, like family history of autoimmune conditions or cardiovascular disease.
These steps together focus on properly managing each result you’ve shared. Stay in contact with a healthcare provider to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments in your treatment plan. It will be crucial to review any changes with routine follow-up apppointments to ensure the treatment is effective and to address any new symptoms that may arise during this time.
