vitamins & herbal stuff

[Guest guest]

Hey guys,

I just got back from the store. I guess I did good, I did get the

standardized St. s Wort. I also got a bottle of One a Day- Womans vitamins.

I hope I took them right. It says 1 vitamin a day and 2 tabs of St. s, 3

times a day. I couldn't remember what all the vitamins were, so I figured this

was a good start. Does anyone know if any of these vitamins and stuff can

interact with each other? I was looking at the Ginko Baloba (sp?) while I was

there, but I didn't want to over do it, not knowing if they could effect each

other. I definately have memory problems. (Possibly from stress?) I can be

mid-sentence and forget what I was saying. My boys love it when I holler at

them and I have to start going down the list of names until I get the right one.

I personally just thought it was the onset of alsheimers or something. But, I

guess from what I am hearing, stress can effect you in alot of ways. So, what

do you think. Get that too? I just don't want to over do it, not knowing what

I am doing.

I am paranoid of meds (you can probably tell). I just don't have good

reactions with them. When I had surgery, I was given hydracodone(sp?) . I took

one and it relaxed me so much that I went to sleep. But, the kicker was I was

so relaxed I guess I forgot to breath. I tried one other time, taking only 1/2

of a pill and it did the same thing. I have been put on different ones, but

every one of them do about the same thing. So, now I just suffer through things

for fear of it happening again.

Seeings how you all know alot about this stuff, do any of you have IBS or

ulcers? I was diagnosed with an ulcer and IBS awhile back. They put me

through all the tests to check for cancer, etc.... Nothing was found. They

said I am worrying myself to the point that is effecting my health. I take

ranitidine when my ulcer acts up. But, is there anything I can do for the

irritable bowel syndrome thing? It seems like when I get upset, sad or anything

like that it hurts like * & %. It takes about 2-3 days to get back to normal. I

have tried to cut out most of the caffiene. Maybe there is something herbal or

something? Just wondering.

Well, I guess I will close for now and make myself get up and do something.

It seems that I do better when I am busy and I dont give myself time to sit and

think. I guess we will give it some time and see what happens.

Thanks guys.

Vondie,

Keep on keeping on. I know how you feel. I am the cheerer of

cheerer¡¯s around other people, always in a good mood and keep everyone¡¯s

spirits up, but sometimes I wonder¡¦¡¦¡¦. There is only so much that a

person can take, I have always believed that God will only give you as much

as you can handle, but sometimes I think he gives you the wisdom to know

when enough is enough and you might need a little help in the handling

department. Having two children with CF is enough stress in itself, am I

doing the right thing, did they take their medicine, did I already reset

the vest once or twice or did they turn it to fool me? Having a full time

plus job doesn¡¯t make matters any easier, but I do have a very loving and

helpful husband that is always there for me when I need him.

Keep us posted over the next few weeks and let us know if your

herbal ¡°cocktail¡± works for you!

You are so funny. When I called for one of my kiddy's I simply called

roll hahehahe. They got a hoot outa that too.tell folks about it now all

the time.I told them I was going to put name tags on them. Then my one

daughter (Patti) said I would then have to learn to read. -she is a

title I reading teacher -so was really a funny , you had to be there

for. I take all the pills you have mentioned. Actually 8 each morning .

All natural .I try to get as many in the gelatin form as They go down

quicker & more at one swallow. They sometimes are a wee bit more $$ ,

but for me, it was worth it. Ginkgo Biloba,--

Ginseng,--Calcium,--Multi-it,--

Chromium _? ( for cartlidge),--Garlic,Ibprofren 80ml(take one ( I cant

take aspirin ) & vit E.

Now that is a mouth full .BUT I AM NEVER SICK.or catch stuff when it is

going around .

I also think 7 have been told it is right .that not to eat meals after

7pm. A light something. But it cant digest a fully at night with no

activity & therefore not a peaceful -restful sleep .

ANYWAY-----------------------------best wishes on your doing well &

having great days ahead

Vondie,

I hope you got the One-A-Day vitamins PLUS minerals. Without

minerals... well, that's like putting gas in your car but forgetting

the oil, brake fluid, etc.

Oh, p.s. St. 's Wort (at high dose) can cause sun sensitivity in

some people... so until you know how you react to it, don't forget

sunscreen.

Vondie,

The only advice I can give you is to take one change at a time. Try

one new thing for several weeks before adding something or trying to

treat another problem. This is because you can actually track the one

symptom and tried treatment and see if it works. If you do all of it

as once (treat IBS, depression, etc.) you won't know what - if

anything - is helping.

Try to keep a journal, even if it is just scribbles on a calendar.
