vitamin B problems

LignumVitae

I hope things start feeling better soon now the jab is done...or at least a bit better. I like the idea of quite big, once these two are out and my stomach once again resembles something of it's former self (if it does) then I could always venture onto that blank canvas, all my others are lower back and bum tattoos.
I do love having a piece in progress though, it's so good seeing it slowly come together over time isn't it?!
Take care and lets hope that jab is like an energy drink serum or something. Love LV xx

Hi Karen, LV..
I'm sure I replied once already lol

Can't remember what I put though :roll:
I've to have five more injections of the red magic liquid in the next three weeks. So, plenty of appointments coming up lol
Nurse said it might be a while until I start to feel the benefit though.
I cannot believe how tired I am. I couldn't even stand up yesterday afternoon. Went to bed around five, still there now. All I'm doing is sleeping.

I will post a photo of the next tattoo but it may be a while, I'm penniless. Maybe I'd should start a collection box! !
Lol

It's lovely to see you posting again Karen. I really hope you're alright hun. X

LV, how long till the big day now?
Xx

Well if that is all your body wants to do it must be the thing it needs to do...now stay there til your body decides otherwise! Magic red liquid makes it sound quite exciting and like it should give you lots of energy, I hope the course helps.

Tats are expensive things to collect aren't they? I tend to go small and join them up but I'm also lucky cos one of my friends happens to be a tattooist of some renown and so I tend to get a wee discount which is quite fortunate because without it, I wouldn't be able to afford her!

Well, funny you should ask that because today I am officially 30 weeks, hooray...theoretically, all being well that means I have just seven more weeks to wait. I can't wait to meet them and I can't wait to be able to lie on my stomach, it's been a long time, and see my feet and other amazing things like that!

Hi Karen hun.
These are vitamin B12 injections.
The docs just happened to think on and check them and they are very low.
Just back from having the first one done. Have to have another five over the next three weeks! Lol
My level was 186. The lowest it should be is 187 but the highest is in the eight hundreds.. So it's definitely a problem.
No wonder I've been sleeping so much lol. I was just putting it down to extreme exhaustion.

My backpiece is of the Predator in the jungle. Lots of trees and skinned bodies etc haha
I want more flames etc up the arms.. Dunno what else yet. .
I need a sponser Heehee. .

Hope you're doing alright hun.
Xx[/qu
My last one was an xmas present..(tattoo) they all club together.. much better than getting kit that goes into the cupboard that you never see again.. They are expensive and it takes time to save up the money to get them done.. was thinking of selling hubbies body but i think it woul probably cost me . Working on my right arm at the moment.. but it is getting there. Next an angel to go down side/back of my arm. Need to design one first.. could be interesting as itwill be going over my elbow.. with all the creases.. need to put that into the design as part of the dress..lol. Hope you start to feel better soon .. should be fit as a fiddle before spring when the weather improves... fingers crossed with that last statement )

Luv em..

you must eat or you will waste away..not lightly to help with your vit issue either..... umm not sure how you get a picture on will have a go..

Hi Tony,

Lupin is correct, you must eat!! When I struggle to I start off on anything that I might like, be it chocolate and hope that kick starts the digestive system - or drink lots of milk, at least then you get protein - hot chocolate being a good mix of the two. Don't waste away, your tatts will go all wrinkly and we will miss you too.

I went to work in the office yesterday and said that it wouldn't be long before they were here. My boss looked at me and told me that actually it would be quite a while still - clearly some people can wait to meet my babies! I guess I should see it as a complement, he doesn't want to lose me but honestly, if you could see the giant beachball that is my belly, you wouldn't tell me I had a while to go. My friend reckons the bump grows through the day which it sometimes feels like it does. Hope that means Bubble and Squeak are growing!
Take care, you have been through so much recently I guess it isn't surprising your body wants a total rest.

LV xx

bless ya both.
I'm trying my best to eat but it ain't easy, my appetite disappeared once I started the Sulpha. It's just got worse since.
I promise I won't waste away lol

Just at doctors with mum. She's really not coping well at all


Xx
Lupin, I use photobox to get my photos on here.. Can't remember how i do it right now. Something to do with copying the link into a message on here.

Hi Tony
LV has said it all, eat anything to get some calories down you....I have protein drinks..but now I have been told to leave them alone because of my high kidney reading.....must say I was enjoying them...
You take care Tony...and please look after yourself or I will come round there..... :roll: I'm turning into mi mum....

applerose

Sorry you're still not well Tony. Try eating maybe just a slice of toast or a potato, cooked of course. Hope the doctor has been able to help your mum. Take care.

tjt6768

thank you girls

I did manage to eat a bit of tea this evening.
I've brought Mum back to skeggy for the weekend. By the time we got here neither of us fancied cooking so we ate out.
If you know Skeggy, there is a fairly new amusements open opposite the embassy theatre.. well, on the second floor there is quite a nice restaraunt/diner. I had my favourite.. Cajun chicken. Couldn't eat all the chips that came with it but the chicken was lovely..
It's nice through the day there as you can sit and watch the world go by. You can just about see the sea.

I'm totally worn out now so off to sleep. AGAIN.. Already tried once
Lol

Goodnight folks. Hope you are all as well as can be

dreamdaisy

Look after yourself as well as you look after your Ma and Janet. That's an order. If you're not as good as you can be then you won't be much use to them, will you? Take care, be sensible and I hope things improve soon. DD [[]] x

Hi Tony,hope the sea air can help your appetite ,last time I went to Skegness was after the big fire,has it been rebuilt ? Used to go with my sister and her husband we used to stay at the savoy but since we lost her haven't been able to go back,one day maybe.Hope you feel better soon.Mig

frogmorton

Tony :x

Be told man!!

This lot here are all totally right - not eating can become habit-forming

Sometimes, when flaring I don't have any appetite either, but I do still force 'something' down at the required 3xs daily intervals :roll:

Hope Mum has a lovely weekend.

Love and ((()))

Toni xx

tjt6768

thank you, you lovely bunch. .
I made tea tonight and we both ate it all!

Mig.. The have been a couple of fires here. The big arcade and pub Smith's was burnt down, that was up at the seafront. It's still not been redone on the pub side of things. I reckon it was a scam lol
Then the two lovely old buildings in skeggy opposite the embassy theatre, near the clock tower.. One has been rebuilt, that's the new amusement arcade where me and mum ate last night. It's a lovely place and great for kids.

I really hope you do get back here hun. Let me know if you do cos I might just be here lol

Toni, bless ya hun. Thank you for caring.
You too mi lovely DD..

You are all too kind.

Photo is the beach up at where Smith's was.
It was really cold but bloody peaceful up there lol
I was tempted to have a paddle! !

We are off back home tomorrow afternoon. Think mum has enjoyed being here. Only cos she wasn't alone though.
Doctor changed her anti depressant as it was causing panic attacks. Hopefully the new ones will help.
I asked about bereavement counselling. . Would take over three months to get an appointment on nhs. Can't afford private.
I'll do anything I can for mi mum but I'm no expert in that side of things.
Could probably do with some myself to be honest. I'm not coping too well. All this bloody illness and the loss of mi Dad.
Sorry. . I'm moaning.

Thank you all as ever.
I'm off to sleep.
Be well dear friends.

Tony its only right that both you and your mum are missing him.. Time is a healer but at the time it does not feel that way. Is there nothing you can access to to help you both locally? Glad you have come back before the snow... apparently it is going to be back again..... roll on spring

tjt6768

I'm gonna have a look online tomorrow hun.
Not home yet
Just woke up lol
Had a bacon sarnie and a cuppa. Gonna have another hours sleep, let the tablets kick in.
Mum needs to pop back to the shops to swap a jumper she bought yesterday.
Might have a small walk/hobble around skeggy town.
Then probably head home. Janet has text this morning to say it's snoweda little already back in Leeds so I will not be leaving it till too late to head home.
Thanks hun.
Hope you are doing alright?

You don't need the NHS for free bereavement counselling, Tony. Cruse have been doing it for years. Hope it helps.

bless ya Sticky hun.
I will check that out xx

Got back home around half two, had to go straight to bed.. :roll:
Weather was awful the whole journey home.
We are going back in a couple of weeks, I won't have to drive though, our neighbour and friend Eric is doing the driving..

Hi,
It's a good thing to have you B vitamin level checked from time to time, as its been such a cold and icy winter, I expect you've been indoors a lot so not had the advantage of the sun! My GP's always sending me for blood tests, as she says things can change quickly. She likes to keep a eye out in case I show RA. So far, I've been lucky.
Hope all goes well, love Suex

woodbon

Hi,
I was a carer in a nursing home and a lot of people had MS. Quite a few had B vitamin injections regularly. It could be part of the problem with lots of auto-immune diseases, maybe? Theirs a lot we don't know about them, so its worth a try.
I hope it makes you feel a bit better, its worth a try.
love Suex

tjt6768

hi Sue, I am really sorry, I replied once but it must have dissapeared!!! :x
I have my second injection on friday, I'm still very very tired...
Really hope they help.. Have zero appetite.... Fed up..... Even my moods are changing rapidly.. I'm normally really happy and up for a chat but I have been locking myself away from the world...



I am sure I will return to normal at some point..


Xxxx

Dont be hard on yourself. You will be back to you're normal, more relaxed jokey self. You just have to give it a bit of time. But you will return.

HONEST

applerose

Sorry you're still not your usual self. It might take a little longer but you will get there. In the meantime try to take good care of yourself.
