PatchMD lab update

I just had my 6 month labs and all was good, but my B12 and D has dropped.  PatchMD suggests using 2 patches, but I am going to do a round of B12 shots, prescription D pills, take a B12 sublingual and drink a glass of milk a day.  

Still love the patches as I used to have a shoe box full of sups and needed a pill organizer.  After a few years you just gag at the thought of taking all those pills. The patches have been great for me.

Keep you posted on my labs to recheck B and D.

Thank you so much for the update!!! Greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the update!  So everything else came back normal?

Yes everything else was perfect.  Before I started using the patches I had low B12 and D issues.  

I struggle with low D as well, and my doc told me to double up.  I use the multivitamin patch and the calcium/D patch each day.  

I suck down a dropper of B12 a few times a day because it has a natural energy boost and is safe to do.  Try it before you work out.  You'll love how it makes you feel!

Your iron was ok?  That is the one thing I was worried about.  

Thanks so much for the update!!!

Thanks I will give that a try.  

Funny you should ask about iron. 3 months ago it was 4 and now it's back up to double digits and I just posted about it today.  Here is the link:

That's AWESOME!!

I didn't see an iron patch on PatchMD. Are you using the MVI patch and that caused your level to go up? (iron or ferritin) I'm taking 9 capsules of VitaLady's Tender iron a day and my ferritin decreased from 49 to 37. I was taking 6 before.

The iron is in the multi vitamin patch. 

Hi ShebasMom,

When I got the lab results I emailed PatchMD and suggested they create an Iron patch.  They suggested to use 2 of the multi.  I remembered my good friend and mentor Charlie had severe iron issues and contacted her.  Here is the link to the post I did on the main forum about my iron.  It really worked for me.
