Today's public service announcement - iron and vit C
I'm not aware of restless legs due to low iron but I guess it could be, just a less common symptom.

Thank you for the info Kelly!
I was never told by my surgeon to take iron or vitamin ****il last month when my labs came back that I was anemic. So, he told me to take Iron, but no C. I do take Iron and vitamin C together, separate pills, along with my other vitamins in the morning. (I don't drink any caffeine) Is it necessary for me to take an iron supplement that has C in it, or is it fine to take them together but separate pills?
Thanks! :)
Met my surgeon's goal weight of 160lbs on 3/30/11! Reached 130lbs on 5/24/11!

The source of concern is D3. I take 5000 mg per day.. my D3 was low..35 i believe. I have heard the dry d3 is the best. I am taking D3 in a gel capsule soybean base. Should I just throw it away or continue taking it.? What else can I take with D3 to improve the absorption?
Thanks,
Michelle
There is nothing to take it with to increase absorption. Just gotta take a lot of it, and make sure it's dry.

But here's another question - numbness, not complete numbness, but just partial in various parts of the body - first the outside of my right leg, then the front of my left leg, now upper thighs..what do you think?
I thought B12 and upped my own sublingual drops. Seemed to help, but not completely. With the new added on locations, I'm getting concerned.
The labs soon will tell - but any more ideas so I might request additional labs?
MSROMAGNOLA
Possibly not vitamins at all but a pinched nerve or herniated disc or something in the back.
No numbness in your hands? You real tired, depressed, having trouble concentrating?
