Your Vitamin B12 level of 159 is low and could be contributing to your muscle aches, fatigue, and neurological symptoms. Ideally, B12 levels should be above 300 pg/mL to avoid deficiencies.
How to Correct It?
✅ Neurobion Forte is a good supplement, but for levels as low as 159, oral tablets alone may not be sufficient.
✅ Intramuscular B12 injections may be needed, especially if symptoms persist. These are more effective for quick correction.
✅ Increase dietary intake of B12-rich foods like dairy, eggs, fish, chicken, and fortified cereals.
✅ Check for absorption issues (e.g., gut disorders like gastritis, IBS, or pernicious anemia).
Next Steps:
Your symptoms suggest that further evaluation is needed to rule out nerve involvement or underlying causes. I strongly recommend a consultation for a personalized treatment plan.
