shes a nurse practitioner and I wouldn't trade her for a Doc for any reason. If I ask for blood tests she checks if I have had them done recently and has them done. My latest I requested was a panel that showed if I was deficient in any vitamins.... Yay No deficiencies.... I am a tad anemic... so i guess I will live with the iron dose in the multivitamins. Never been anemic before.

The B12 and the B Something or other.... Thiamine... test is still pending. Thiamine is the one that if you have a deficiency will make you go blind. B1 it is...

I used to need iron shots. Now the B12/iron capsules work for me. I also used to need B12 shots. I gave them to myself. Just as of last month, doc agrees with me, the capsules are enough.

@microchick I remember your post but couldnt find it to quote.... You mentioned that the Iron might help with my lack of energy... OMG.... slapping my forehead.

I am taking my vitamins.... Now... We will see how long it takes for my energy to come back.

@ronott1 How do those chewables taste?

The more chewables or sublingual the better because they are easier to pass on through my stomach.

I used to make Halloween costumes for my boys and the dogs to match. Super cute!

Especially if the dogs went trick or treating with the boys!

Yes, they do. I won't wear closed in shoes unless I absolutely have to, or closed in bedroom slippers, because of my feet getting way too hot. I mostly wear sandals, and open slippers.

How terribly uncomfortable. Goo dyou live somewhere you don't need to where closed shoes. Of course that heat would be most welcom e up her in winter when snow needs to be moved.

Dh went to collect eggs this morning. Yes, I have a broody. We've never had a broody before, so he's never dealt with it. He went to get the eggs, and he swears she hissed at him. Needless to say, he did not get the eggs from under her.

He just needs to tell her he's the boss. Stand up, move your butt, *I* get those eggs!

Deb anemia causes fatigue.The rheumatologist told me that any of the B complexes that your body doesn't use is passed through the urine. The Solgar B complex sublingual that I was using was the strongest OTC that I could find. I let the Rheumy look at the rating and he said it was good but I needed to take three times the recommended dosage. I did but still got anemic.

Micro...so true. Back when I needed those shots, I knew when the blood work would show that it was needed. So tired! Glad the B12/iron mix is working for me.
