Debra Update

Dana, Bless your Cajun little heart, I KNEW you'd have the answer for me.  I just pulled out my results and everything is dead on except for the B-12.  I'll seriously UP it.  I have both sublingual tabs and spray.  Will start using both.  Maybe, I'll have a little more energy!!

I agree - get that b-12 up....

thanks for the update.  im a firm believer in the vits, and predisposed to the vit b deficiency, even without surgery. lord knows i didnt come this far and fight this hard to not take the vits.  Like you, i cannot stress this enough!
I think we scared poor Fernando into taking his!!! lol

Thanks so much for the update. I think of Deb daily....every time I'm tempted to skip those huge horse pills! Ya know, we read in the literature how important vitamins are, we hear it from the Dr.s at the seminars and we read it all the time here on OH. It's sad that it took Deb's horrible experience to really drive home just HOW important those vitamins are. Yes...they can be big, smelly and nasty tasting but bottom line is they are our life.....literally!

Please let Debra know that even through all this, she is still helping all of us!

Thanks for the update Sean. Keeping her in prayers.

Thanks for the update Sean....praying hard that Debra has no permanent damage done.   


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

thanks to you all for the repsonses.  I am sure she is reading these, so keep em coming.....

Just FYI - I take 6000 mg of B-12 daily - two 3000 mg sublinguals and my last reading was high, but im not changing anything......

Sean thank you for posting this... believe me this has been very hard for me.... i am not driving right now cause i forget where i am going..... so its easier to stay home and walk to my Starbucks.....at least there they know what coffee i drink....lol... i am not cooking either because for instance the other day i did cook for my kids and i had something in the oven and completely forgot until it was burned....some apple tarts...

i have another dr. appointment tomorrow... this one is 7 hours testing the memory i will have an hour break for lunch but that is it..... i am not sure what all they are going to do...

i have not posted much these last few days because i have been very very tired and yes i am taking my vitamins and getting my b12 shot every sunday....thanks to kristi or sean since i can not give it to myself...

i know that i have been sleeping more than usual.... normally i function on about 5 hours of sleep lately i have been sleeping 10 - 12 hours per day....

i know that my b12 was in the 200's so that is very very low.... i get my iron tested in two weeks after my next infusion....

Ramon went with me to the doctor today and did question the doctor about alcohol and the b vitamins..... the doctor did say that alcohol does drain the body of the b vitamins.... i can honestly say that i have not been drinking as much as i had been....

I have another doctor appointment to find out if i have compression of the c6 & c7 disc in my neck that is causing the memory loss and the pain in my head on the left side.....and the numbness in the arm....

we did get the results from the heart and brain scan and i do not have a tear in the heart and the brain scan was normal.....

thank you all for your prayers believe me this is really hard i am not use to depending on other people i am the one that other people depend on....

Call me when you are up to talking

I am glad to see you posting Debra! I hope everything goes well at the Dr. office tomorrow. My wife asks me every day how you are doing. We are praying for you.   Liz and Gina scared the bejeezers out of me and I don’t want my feet to fall off !
