How are you doing so far today?

I am getting ready to make a protein shake with my third dose of calcium citrate (Upcal D) in it.  And then I'll take my iron and C before bed.

I am also going to give myself a B12 shot today because I am going out of town and I usually do my shot on Fridays but I don't wanna take that stuff with me (I have a whole bag of meds and vites to take already) so I'm doing it early.

Hey, how about for the next two weeks you are in charge of the nightly reminder?  I'm telling you, posting this daily has made me much better about my vitamins because I HATE to post that I didn't do mine.

 Ugh...for the third day in a row I am not going to get in my third calcium.  I usually get all three in at work but I got busy and forgot!

I take B-12 shots u don't have to be a nurse, as you are not going in the vein, ur dr can give u a scrip for it and he will show you how to give ur self the shot. very easy.

No, I"m not a nurse.  You don't need to be.  They are very easy to do.  You need a script from your doc and you can fill it at any pharmacy.  Your doc can show you how to do the injection.  It's easy.

I have started back to taking my multi first thing in the morning, hopefully I will remember it more readily!
Calcium - In

Goodness, I have forgotten my B12 injection and that helps me so much! Setting a reminder on my phone NOW

yesterday i got all my vitamins in!
 2 multis
3 doses calcium with vit d
3 doses iron with vit c
one dose of bcomplex (with b12)
2 stool softeners 
one citalapram

i also researched online for the supplements i need. i can get almost everything at walmart. going to go with carbonyl iron, and trying to find a source for that...been hearing alot about tender iron, but i also see that Feosol makes a carbonyl formula. 

also need to get protein powder, haven't bought any in a while, so i will have to remember which ones i thought were gross, so i dont buy them!

today my goal is no caffeine after 9AM. which will make the 3 doses of iron easier to time in.

should get results back on ferritin level today, i hope.

have a good day, everone!

kelly, thank you for all the info and support!
