Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

You are having low vitamin B12 level which can affect body in various ways,commonly Low Hemoglobin (Anaemia).GIT may also be affected and if prolonged deficiency is there even Nervous system is affected.

It can be treated as you are already responding to the therapy. If there is any issue with oral supplementation parenteral B12 can be given and early recovery.
If there are any other deficiency they need to be taken care also.

It is suggested that you consult a Haematologist and Gastroenterologist and take care of diet and medication you will improve completely in few weeks.

You should also test for Vitamin D level if found low this can also be corrected with supplementation.

Hope this helps.
Take care
Good Luck.
