Default About the prenatal vitamins?

I switched to them because all other multi-vites, combined with other supplements had WAAAY too much B-6 in them! I'd taken a good look at all of my vitamin regimen about this time last year and found that the B-6 was 'sort of' an add on in four supplements other than the multi-vites. I was getting over 8 TIMES the suggested normal..of '6' and excess '6' can aggravate neuropathies.
The Prenatals had the least, and, I can always supplement B-12, calcium and what-all-ever separately and ultimately have better control overall. It does mean taking lots of pills...BUT, compared to my prior regimin, the number of pills hasn't changed, just the quality of what is going into me.
Julie, the only other thing that comes to mind it to get those thyroid glands check out by a good endocrinologist!
When you have all this other 'stuff' going on, things can have a slight ripple effect on the Thyroid...that was my case...and sooo much is explained now I've done the 'tests' and gotten a new additional diagnosis [albiet harmless once treated]...It explained [that diagnosis] sooo much.. no other way to put it..I was blaming it on the neuro meds, which were in part contributing...but the body is one very complicated and quirky non-machine! If one little BIT goes off kilter, well, it's like dominoes? Check the endo aspect off your list and stop the dominoes from falling! 's in heaps - j
