Ok got email from Gina as to what I should be taking for vitamins.....  vitalady's recommendations... which I need big time
I cried!!!!!  I feel there is no way I can take all those pills everyday forever.....  However I see what my 6yr old nephew came home with yesterday for pills (he has leukemia)  and going through CHEMO !!!! and If he can do it has to do it...why can't I... it seems very overwhelming for me right now... but it has to be done... Any advise or just kick me in the butt!!!!! 
I got new labs drawn last week and those results should be coming in the mail....  I'll repost them when I get them... thanks girls...

On a positive note I became and Aunty to the cutest little boy in the whole wide world

The good thing is you go by your labs. When you start tracking the trends, you may see that you can reduce some doses or take a pill once a week...all kinds of potentials but you want to get your labs up to optimal levels first. You can do it, babee!

Still swinging little lizards and sending up prayers for Ethan. He's going to kick this thing's butt; you watch.

Congratulations on becoming an auntie again. Welcome to the world, Mason E.

Melissa, you can do it with the vitamins.  Getting sick would just not work well for you!

I'm saying prayers for Ethan, and a hearty congrats on becoming a new auntie to Mason!

I am sorry to hear about your nephew. I really hope all is okay with him. 

I am not sure if you got your lab results yet but if you get them before February 14th, PM me and I will be glad to go over them with you and make recommendations for you with the necessary vitamins for you.  Unfortunately, I am going into the hospital on February 15th for surgery and I won't be on the computer for awhile after that.
