Hello everyone, I am so happy that it is Thursday, just because I have today off, lol - We had snow last night, I would really like to see some spring.

Bites;
Strawberry protein shake

protein bar

1/2 a beef roast sandwich and some fries

1 cup grapes

2 cheese sticks

yogurt

greek salad - small but very good, picked it up at Walmart

2 chocolate bars ( in those 2 for one packs)

Vites: missed my lunch ones, forgot them at home and I ended up taking supper and bedtime together

Exercites: 1 1/2 hours of aqua size one regular class and one in deep water with a harness thing, I enjoyed them, and the scale is down this morning 

Feelings: mixed emotions overall, I want my youngest son to move out and yet when he talks about it I feel sad, but you know it is time he is 22 years old

Yeah!!   

I'm getting cracks at the corners of my mouth and this is apparently called Angular Chelitis which could be due to infection - I'm not a drooler and I've never had this before and I suspect it's more vitamin related.  Wikipedia says it could be due to B2, B3, B5, B7 or B12 deficiency.

It's definitely not B12 deficiency, but I've never been tested for the rest - have you heard of a test for these?  I checked my B complex tablet and it doesn't contain B5 or B7 so I'm going to have to look into that.  I'd appreciate your thoughts, although if B vits aren't your forté please excuse the intrusion. :-)

Nice Bites today. I think it may be a bacteria or yeast infection. You've been doing great on vitamins. How is your iron now?

I had blood drawn mid Feb. I've chased the hospital a couple of times this week as it's now April. The nurse told me everything is fine, but I insisted I wanted to see the results.

It can't be yeast as I'm on terbinafine for athlete's foot. Could be bacteria, but I still suspect biotin.

Duh, B5 is panthoneic acid which IS in the B complex tablet and B7 is Biotin, which I have and will start to take.  I'm suspecting Biotin.  I have the Superior Source Biotin sublingual, so if it's that I think it'll start to work quite fast... and this is what I get when I'm compliant... how on earth do those that only take a couple of multis a day fare?? :-S

I apologize for sneakily asking questions this way but you are the vitamin goddess and I hold you in high esteem.

Anyway, if you've ever heard of a test for this I'd be interested... I'm thinking of seeing my PCP about it as my lips split and bleed. :-(

You know I love vitamins and labs.  lol

In addition to the B vitamins it lists iron deficiency anemia or it could be a yeast infection. If you see your PCP, take your last labs and see if it could be iron issues. Do they check your B vitamins on your labs? Some folks get push-back from the doc when they ask for the Bs to be tested.
