Low Vit D is also problematic... your target there is 50 US units.

These two things are the most common things to start with.

I have a high B-12 and folate level (well within the ranges), but my vitamin D was 9. I have the script, but it makes me nauseous. Still, I am taking it but I seem to have a malabsorption issue because it is always low no matter what. I still don't know about the eye droop though.
