My side effects from vitamin B12 injections (4 injections in 4 weeks) was a 4 month acne rash on my face, chest and belly, and i also had 3 days of extreme shortness of breath. Every once in a while i get a slight pain in the arm where i had the vitamin B12 injections years ago.
My skin has never been the same since the acne incident and i have plenty of blackheads over my chest and belly that i never suffered with until those 4 injections.
I have developed a sudden skin rash on feet and legs below the knees. It is a round white spot with a red dot in the center. It does not itch. I am taking coumadin and plavix. Is this a sign of bleeding under the skin? I have also started having red marks, some size of dots and some larger and brown "age spots" on my skin. Anyone have similar condition? I was told to stay away from vitamin K because this effects the coumadin and my pro time.
Rash in scabies is usually found in the folds of skin and they are red blister like rashes. it can be due to allergic reaction, hives or insect bites. Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin and apply some calamine lotion on the rash. If the symptoms persist then please get it examined from a dermatologist.

The biggest one is not getting sick so easily with every virus that goes around. I still have most of my other symptoms. The hard thing is that I've had these symptoms my whole life, which may be why it was so hard to determine that vitamin D deficiency at least played a role in their severity. This includes getting sick so easily.
I took the supplements up to a point I started getting acne breakouts and rashes and I stopped immediately. Then I started having the same breakouts and rashes when I take high calcium foods. They subside when I take high phosphorus foods like meats. I read that calcium supplements can cause phosphorus deficiency. Please see: http://www.nutraingredients.
Your doctor can do blood tests to find if there is any deficiency. You can purchase Vitamin B12 sublingual capsules that you place under the tongue. If you are very low on B12 the doctor would be able to give you B12 injections, or prescribe B12 tablets. Eating a health diet (cereals are fortified with vitamins, eggs and meat contain B12) will help too.
Make sure too that you drink plenty of water so you do not become dehydrated. 2-3 litres per day is usually recommended.
Best wishes.
My question is, is there a connection between dermatitis and some kind of vitamin deficiency? When I was diagnosed they said it was from stress but I'm not overly stressed right now so I'm not sure why I'm still getting these. Any suggestions or help here would be great! Thanks!
(By the way, I saw some vague references to vitamin D deficiencies and pregnancy on google, but I am definitely not pregnant.. although I am female. Don't know if this matters.
At your age, doctors should routinely test for a vitamin D deficiency as your skin is now converting less vitamin D from sunlight.
For the past 80 years it was believed that vitamin D3 was only important to the body for regulating calcium and protecting the bones. However hundreds, if not thousands, of studies now show this vitamin (technically a steroid hormone) plays a vital role in health.
Vitamin D deficiency seriously impacts 32 organs especially the heart and bones.
If you decide you want to check your vitamin B12 levels out, then note that in Europe deficiency is classed as 550pg/mL (405.9 pmol/L) and under. This is still too low so aim for higher in the range. Recommended to try sublingual (under the tongue) B12 to see if you notice any improvement. I personally prefer the spray form but you can find this in tablets that dissolve under the tongue.
So, the rheumatologist called today and said that I have vitamin D deficiency. I didn't get the numbers but they gave me a prescription for a vitamin d supplement to take 1 x /week for 12 weeks? What does this mean? I didn't get to talk to the dr!
Thanks!!!!
My doctor ordered a blood test which showed vitamin B12 deficiency, severe Vitamin D deficiency, and a subclinical hypothyrodism. I was given some high dose vitamin D tablets and some B12 injections and felt much better. Few weeks later, I started feeling run down again, and eventually 2 months later I went for another blood test, testing my thyroid and vitamin B12 levels which returned normal results. No further investigations were carried out.
I am pure vegetarian . My doc says I have little Vitamin D deficiency . How should I increase my Vit D levels?
