Something new from UCLA

Doesn't look like pellegra or seem to fit the description of symptoms. Maybe I'm delusional but I just don't see it connected there. Zinc either but I could still be wrong. All worth looking into with my PCP though.

Nah, was just tossing it out there,. Most docs don't test A OR D, but if they test at all, it'd be D, rarely A. So, as a result, most ppl do not aaddress it separately beyond their multi(s).

I don't have any info on what you are referring to, but just a caution about taking steroids. They can bother your stomach. Be sure to take them with food and follow your doctors instructions on when to take them , don't abruptly stop them either as the frequency is usually gradually decreased to wean you off them slowly. There are other side effects but hopefully you won't experince them since you are only on them for five days.

I hope things improve for you soon.

take care

Thanks for the info. I'll ask my doctor about weaning me off of them. I am taking them with food in the morning. When they have me taking stuff with food (depending on the size of the pill) I take a bite or two and then the pills and then finish the meal. If they're really big (these are not) I make sure to take the pills AFTER the meal or the whole thing pushes on those pills and really hurts.

Thanks. I sure need the guidance. I hate how we have to be our own doctors anymore. It just really bugs me.
