AM SICK!!

Ok i'm a crybaby! went to the dr at hubbys insistence, found out I have pnuemonia (sp?) ugh, no wonder I have been so tired, Anyhow he gave me  a z-pack...does that stuff work as well for us hybrids as it does for others? I am only on the 2nd day, but am worried that it won't help much and the weekend coming up ..blah blah blah...he also gave me some cough medicine with codeine...made me sleep so fitful everytime I fall asleep it gives me nightmares!!! has this happened to anyone else? I almost don't want to take it, but dr say's I can't get better if I don't sleep, which I haven't been with all the coughing ...wah wah wah some more , just feel like poop. Marjie called with my blood results..not good Iron is 4.2 supposed to see immunologist if below 5.0 she said, she is sending me a scrip for iron specifically for bypass patients and re-check in a month. Has anyone else taken these? I don't know what i'm doing wrong, even when I don't get all my protein and fluids i'm supposed to, I very rarely miss my vitamin regimen, am taking 1therarans with iron 2x a day.   BTW she said to stop taking the cal citrate with the vit k added because my "k" was elevated and could make me succeptable to blood clots....i've only taken the ones with the "k" for less than a month so I hope that's it...anyone else have that prob??? 

so sorry you are sick , hope you get better soon....im no lab t ech but i would assume that wedont metoblize medis like we are suppose to...no matter what it is....that is the reason we should be taking 2 mult vits, 2 super b complex, extra D and if iron level is border line then should be taking iron too. and the extra calcium....was there a reason why you thought you needed K vits. just wondered ......take care ....vits are not something that we can fool around with not taking.

I take ALL the vit's I am supposed too,even extras!!  I haven't taken extra "k" however, just the calcium chews I bought have "k" plus "d", wonder if that was enough to put me over the "k" amt? weird, but 2 muti with iron, still isn't enough iron??

sometimes for some people the multis with iron isnt enough...dont know why just the way some of us are made i guess.  what kind of calcium chews do you buy that have the K in them....i really dont think any of us would need that , it increases our blood clotting time can make your blood really thick... I was just wondering what is the brand of calcium chews they were so every one else would be aware of the K in them...it doesnt take much of extra K to mess up your system.

It is the kirkland (costco) brand of cal citrate with vit.d and k,choc.chews (sugarfree )  DANG....they are really good too!  I was taking 3 x a day, cut 2x a day. Marjie said go ahead and finish what I have. BTW she also said I could take my multi 2 at once instead of 2x a day, that way easier to remember!

wonder why they thought that they needed to put vit K in them ? that is sort of weird lol ....
isnt that the way it always is evcrything we like is either, fattening , illegal or immoral....
