Thank you so much for your help! Currently I am taking Lovazza and Niaspan for something else along with a 325mg aspirin.

I also take Metanx which is a B complex (i think) I was going for B12 injections but the new doctor (mine retired) is an *** and won't give them to me. Even though I told him I was told by a specialist that once deficient always deficient.

Is this a good one or should I switch to over the counter? I know that you are all not doctors and therefore can not prescribe but the pain is overwhelming and I have been this way for almost 15 yrs. I have been to specialist and none have figured out the cause or done anything but push the pills,which I might add only made me very sick.

Sorry for the rant... anyway I have been doing a lot of reading about supplements that will help. I will be trying R Lipoic and Serrapeptase, are there any others that might be helpful? Thanks

The Metanx is good, but it needs to be taken on an empty stomach so the methylB12 in it can be absorbed properly.
No food for one hour.

The Lovaza is fish oil...take with food.

The R-lipoic acid (stabilized) is very water soluble, but still should be taken on an empty stomach for best results. This newest version is an improvement over others from the past.

I will have to warn you that 15yrs of vitamin deficiency may not be helped much. There may be damage that is not correctable.
If you are lucky and start to improve, it will be a long haul.

Do you know your A1C numbers, the long term diabetic predicting values? Do you know what started you problems?
An injury, illness, treatment of some kind, some vaccine reaction, etc? This information is helpful to help decide which supplements to concentrate on.

I am not Diabetic and the so called doctors are not interested in finding out the cause so it has been hit and miss for me. What I am looking for is releif from the agonizing pain There has been no injury to account for this or so I am told....

I have been told that my body is very inflamed and I have had a LEAP done and am apparently sensitive to many foods.

So the Lovaza should help. And the aspirin.

Get the tests if possible. If you cannot get the Vit D done, keep at 2000IU of D3 daily only.

If you suspect leaky gut, food etc intolerances, I'd try Kefir too.

This is 12 probiotics , and gluten free. I hope you can tolerate dairy? It is wonderful for reducing problems from the GI tract and inflammation there.

I have found this very helpful for myself!

I have been tested for D and it s an 18 the dr was giving me a supp then told me he would not longer.... I am working on the leaky gut via an alkalizing diet as I and addicted to sugar...What is Kefir? I started juicing for nutrients but with my hands it is hard

I can tolerate dairy but it seems to make the pain worse and I have read it is bad for you...

Kefir is fermented milk. It is thinner than yogurt and better. It is very healing with many probiotic organisms in it which settle the GI tract and allow for healing.

Check out the link. We get ours from Kroger's.

The OTC D3 works far better than the RX D2...so you don't need the
doctor's RX at all...it doesn't really work.

The general rule is 1000IU D3 daily for every 10 pts need to raise.

So you could take 3,000 to 4,000IU daily, to get in a more normal range.

Thank you! What about the B's how much of those? and when should I take the D?
