Question What vitamins do you take?
http://psychcentral.com/lib/2007/vit...olar-disorder/

Vitamins for Bipolar Disorder:
Quote:
Some vitamins have been associated with mood regulation, include the B vitamins. If you are deficient in any of the Bs, depression, anxiety, and fatigue can result. The B vitamins work together, so it’s best to take a B-complex supplement that mixes them in proper proportions along with folic acid. The Bs have a generally energizing effect and help build up the immune system.
Quote:
Vitamin B-1 (Thiamin). Alone, or in addition to a regular B-complex pill, B-1 might be a good idea for people with bipolar disorder who suffer from circulation problems, tingling in the extremities, anxiety, irritability, night terrors, and similar symptoms.

Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine). In addition to a regular B-complex pill, B-6 might be indicated for bipolar patients who present with a great deal of irritability, . . . If you start to experience tingling in your hands or feet, reduce or discontinue the B-6.

Vitamin B-12. Helps your body turn food into energy, and without enough of it you are likely to feel listless and fatigued. Vegetarians may also be deficient in B-12, as it’s found mostly in meat.
also
Quote:
Vitamin E.

Vitamins A and D.

Quote:
Some people metabolize vitamins and minerals differently, and may be more or less susceptible to potential toxic effects. Along with your doctor’s guidance, a good reference book can help you avoid problems.
I take D3 when I remember. Every once in a while I take B12
Hubby used to take B1 for a while because an ENT highly recommended it for all her patients.
I think my mdoc wanted me to talke B6 for something.

These were my labs. I'm kind of shocked that my diabetic monitor is lower than 6.5 I believe its usually right at 6.5. maybe sometimes at 6.0.

I know I was stressed and eating more the night before the draws.
Which I usually try not too. Because it is just better.

But Even though they may not liek the numbers I don't mind them.

I didn't realize we were doing the first one.

I'm personally glad there is a blood draw for it. I hate the 24 hr urine one.
It is very hard for me too do. And reading up on it, its not as accurate it
said. If I'm understanding.

Donna,

You are on the right track. It is good to keep track of what is going on and stay on top of the appointments.
