Hello mrsD,
Thanks very much for your reply. I am requesting your comments for the following.
1.What is your opinion about my Vit D levels? Is this responsible(fully or partially) for some of the mental symptoms and pain in the palms and toes?
2.Based on some discussions and your advice in this forum, I thought of not going for a multi vitamin supplement. I am taking vit B12, 5mg currently. Do you suggest me to go for other individual supplements? If yes, what will be them?
3.I just checked in some of the sites that I will be able to order the supplements from Natural factors/Jarrow et al. So this should not be a problem
Thanks for all
Madhu

A reading like yours without discontinuing at least 3 days before testing, shows a potential for still being low. You want to strive for 1000pg/ml until your symptoms resolve. Never get below 400pg/ml after that.
Many papers on the subject are available from India on PubMed and Google, and you should be able to get MethylB12 there. I believe it is called mecobalamin.
Lipoic acid there may be called thiotic acid. We have had posters from India list the medications their doctor gave them, and methylB12 was in them.
