Vitamins - Please read

I never post much but I do read the boards daily. I had RYN surgery on July 19, 2005. I went for my 2 year follow-up today and everything was fine with me. I was sitting next to a beautiful young girl who used a walker. We started talking and she told me she had RYN four years ago in New York. She also told me that she had "Wernicki's" which is a neurological condition that is a direct result from not taking her vitamins. It was so sad....she was really having a time walking. So please...take your vitamins. Thanks, Kim

Thanks for the reminder.  We can all get lazy after a while.  I try to remember everyday...but sometimes I get too busy.  This reminder will stay in my mind because I don't want to run into problems down the road just because I couldn't take 5 seconds to swallow a pill a couple times a day.

Great post and it is so inportant  to take our vitamins and also follow up care.  WE here alot of war stories and most of the time it is because people do not take vitamins or get follow up care to catch things. This is so sad. See you lighter. Joanne

Hi ladies and thanks for the reply.  I agree, that we have all heard stories about what happens if you don't take your vitamins but to see it with your own eyes was a wake up call for me.  She was a young beautiful girl who could only walk with the assistance of a walker.  She told me over and over again...if I could only do it over again.  She told me her symptoms were falling and tripping.   She thought she was just being clumpsy.  She finally went to the doctors when her eyes locked while driving causing her to get into an accident.  Please.....be aware of your body and listen to it!  Take your vitamins.   I use to feel like a fool walking around with a pocket full of vitamins......NOT ANYMORE. Hugs to All, Kim S

I saw this and this is a BIG reminder - I know I haven't been good at this but from reading this my plan is to do better.  Tk U. Mother Love
