Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.
Important aspects of your query are:
• 21 year old female
• Known case of Anemia and vitamin D deficiency
• Complaints of: body shakes, numbness and pain in skin.
You case is interesting and but difficult too but I will try to give my best effort to help you in this problem.
Considering all your complaints together I would like to consider multiple possibilities in following hierarchy:
• Vitamin deficiency: Vitamins deficiency can cause above symptoms and anemia. Get serum B12 level. Start multi vitamins with vitamin D as they are easily available.
• Diabetes: Get your fasting blood sugar level done.
• Stress, Anxiety or Depressive disorder: it need to be rule out by detailed interview by psychiatrist. All your complaints can occur in these conditions. Vitamin deficiency and Anemia also increases chances of developing above problems. Daily jogging and aerobics help in some mild cases.
• Side effect of substance use: Stop use if any
In your case multiple problem can co exist to cause above symptoms which need evaluation and management as mentioned above.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
