Just now catching this thread...B12, huh?  Ok, I'll try it!  Years ago, a doctor told me that my vertigo may be related to a Potassium deficiency, so I took a supplement of that for years.  Have always heard B12 is good for a number of things, so I suppose it wouldn't hurt and if it may indeed help - I'm game.

Thanks,

Cindy

This is a very interesting thread. I've written them down. I've been out of my multi-vitiman (will arrive tomorrow) but I also take D-3, E, magnesium, glucosium/chondroitain and calcium. I get these at a drs office that my daughter works at, although they're not prescription. Anxious now to read the lable on the back to see how much of the B vitamins it has. I'm going to Wally World tomorrow after work - my sinuses have been acting up and my head has been a bit wonky this week - espeically today.

I read on another thread where there was a study that taking 400 mb of Vit E twice a day helped improved a majority of the participants hearing. The doc said that could help and also take lots of antioxidents - that would help too.

My mom about dies when she sees the vitamins and suppliments I take, but I believe they really DO make a difference.

HEY CHERI ;)

I HOPE ALL IS WELL! I HAVE TO TAKE THE FOLIC ACID BECAUSE MY HOMOCYSTIEN LEVELS WERE HIGH. WHICH TOLD MY DR. I WAS AT RISK FOR STROKE, HEART ATTACK ETC.. I WAS ON VANCOMYACIN FOR 45 DAYS AT 3,000 MG PER DAY,FOR A BRAIN INFECTION 3 DIFFERENT TIMES!!  SO IT PRETTY MUCH WIPED OUT MY WHOLE SYSTEM!

MY DR. SAID MY TUMOR HAD CUT OFF THE BLOOD SUPPLY TO MY BRAIN SIGNIFICANTLY AND BASICALLY DEHYDRATED THE DURA PART OF MY BRAIN WHICH HE HAD TO RECONSTRUCT... I HAD BEGUN TO HAVE ALOT OF DISORIENTATION WHEN THEY FOUND THIS MEAN THING! I NEVER KNEW I HAD LOST ANY HEARING, BUT I HAD!  ;) I JUST COULDN'T FIND MY WAY HOME!!!  I AM GUESSING THAT THIS THING COULD CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS WITH ANEMIA IT SEEMS TO CAUSE SO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS!!  ::)

I MEANT TO SAY 2,500 MICRO GRAMS ON THE FOLIC ACID!!     ;)

I AM GLAD YOUR LEVELS WENT BACK UP AFTER YOUR SURGERY! THAT HAS SUSPICIONS THAT THIS MEANY COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR CULPRIT! ;)

I AM SO THANKFUL I AM ALIVE AND WELL TODAY  AND ALL THIS IS BEHIND ME  ;) ARN'T YOU??

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DEAR!

CATHY,

HI,   I HOPE YOUR HEAD GETS BETTER DEAR! I ALSO TAKE VITAMIN D-3 !

I JUST FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ! MY FACE AND HEAD HAVE COME A LONG WAY AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THESE VITAMINS CONTRIBUTED GREATLY TO MY HEALING ALONG WITH THE GREAT PHYSICIAN !  ;)  HERE IS A LITTLE ABOUT THE D-3  THAT I COPIED. I AM SURE YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY, BUT JUST IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE WAS WODERING! ;)

I HOPE YOU GET TO FEELING BETTER!
TAMMI ;)


The main function of vitamin D is to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood to support bone mineralization (hardening of bones), cell functions, and proper nerve and muscle function.

OK - what I really meant to say was 400 mg, not MB (megabytes). I blame the fact that I am a computer nerd and I was /am tired.  ;D Although, when I looked at my vit e last night, it said 400 iu. Does anyone know the difference?

Thanks, Tammi. I'm hoping it gets better, too. I need to start back on my Allegra, that will help get the sinuses under control. When my daughter got the vitamins for me, the doc also said for me to take the vit D and with the calcium - for the exact reasons that you posted!

I do have to admit that I think the B-12 is helping with the wonky issues. I didn't have many issues - mainly when i'm tired, but it even seems better when I'm tired (like I am right now and am on this site instead of going to bed)  :P

Great advice!!

Cheri,
Back a few posts you were talking about not being able to swallow multivitamins. I also cannot swallow them.. Target just came out with gummi multi for adults. I am taking them. I figure better than nothing. They also have gummi calcium, D and antioxidants. The sugar is minimal in them. Just FYI......
