Default Hi MrsD

I hope you don't mind me asking some questions to you. You know alot about supplements, and I know next to nothing. My new pain specialist is also a Board Certified Physiatrist, a good thing from what I am reading. I have been put on a host of suppliments for the first time in my life, as I really don't feel well, and she has postponed any surgery, feeling that I am not strong enough in my immune system. I have 4 auto immune problems. I feel weird on these suppliments, and need to know if this is normal, or perhaps why I feel as I do.
The first thing is I am getting headaches. In my life, I can count on one hand how many I have had. Very few, now they are daily.
My appetite has increased, I do not need this as my activity level has dropped alot, and my weight is going up.
I feel shakey, and somewhat nauseated even if I space these pills out.
I am even more tired than ususal, and sleep is more inturrepted.
I am under alot more stress as I can't afford these suppliments either. In fact medicare/medicaid won't cover any. I am going to have to sell my home to exist. so I am not sure where all the symtoms are coming from. any information you have, I appreciate. headache is upon me now, and this is weird for me.
Every other day B12 shots, 1,000mgs.
Fish oil. 3,000-4,000 daily
CoQ10 100 mg. daily
Tumeric daily
B complex daily
Alpha Lipoic acid 600 mg. 2 x day
thanks for any in put. Stress may be all this is, I don't know. ginnie
