I have been dealing with a severe B12 deficiency and I found out that I don't absorb B12 correctly. I have to take sublingual B12 supplements, where they dissolve in the mouth.
I have been taking the supplements for about a month I am still dealing with the symptoms that it causes like hallucinations, I have been seeing shadows like the dwarfs from Snow White, I get tremors in my hands, a random rapid heart beat, impaired balance that feels like I'm being pulled back or to the side.
Severe fatigue that causes me to pass out, tingling in hands and feet which I original thought was diabetes but since I have been tested so many times it was not that. My memory is real bad, I'm often confused and forget things like names of people I see everyday. I have even found strands of grey hair, for my age this is not normal.
My doctor told me if the supplements don't work I will have to get injects for the rest of my life, I'm deathly afraid of needles. I was also told that a prolonged deficiency can lead to permanent damage and I'm worried that I am already past that point since some of these symptoms I have had for years.
I think everyone should see if they have an aliment that is caused by a vitamin or mineral deficiency. The symptoms from a vitamin or mineral deficiency can be the same.
I haven't had much choice, Two years ago I went to yet another gastroenterologist and I told him all about nausea which just won't go away and a bunch of other symptoms. He told me, cool story go on a low FODMAP diet and gave me a print out. The rub was, that I had already been on a low FODMAP/elimination diet for a few years beforehand and I had already figured foods which I'm sensitive to and I had all the information already for him. I did get a colonoscopy/endoscope on the same day and all it showed was that for years acid reflux has been destroying my esophagus.
My current GP wants to put me on a month trail of a new drug which is supposed to help with stomach acid but it won't help sleep. I guess I should be excited because he is finally listening to my stomach issue but I just wanted to sleep. Could I not have like a week of good sleep before trying this new shit?
I may have felt a little unheard again and I told him that I have been abusing gravol and I have no intentions of stopping..
I didn't sleep, I screamed in a closet, made tea and then rage cleaned the dishwasher at 2AM.
I found a channel which plays endless episodes of Intervention.
I don't know why my formatting is dumb but I don't want to edit it
My grandmother had the same procedure as you last year. She lost her appetite and sense of taste and she lost a lot of weight, she went from 150 pounds (68 kg) to 102 pounds (46 kg) in a span of five years. She was diagnosed with Barrett's disease which would cause her symptoms and was proscribed omeprazole.
She also experiences nausea and I told her to try ginger root and she said that helped for her nausea and she was able to eat something even though she doesn't quite have her appetite back. I told her to cut it in small slices like chips and boil it to soften or put it in tea or coffee since her teeth are not so good as they used to be.
get some carafate, i swear by it...when my stomach starts acting up and hurting really bad, i can take this and it goes away...apparently it coats your stomach or something, but its great.
i found a channel that is nothing but outdoor sheds being repossessed, and its amazing.
Ginger root is good for nausea and heart burn. I have read some articles where they said ginger root may even reduce glucose levels since you mentioned your a1c. My grandmother is a severe diabetic and her doctor said for her age her a1c needs to be at 7 but it is usually at 8 when she gets tested.
What could also impact glucose levels is dehydration and stress. It's a good idea to get a blood test and see what your a1c is.
To give you an idea how quick glucose can rise I tested my glucose at a normal rate and ate a small slice of mango and tested myself 20 minutes later it went from 94mg/dL to 116mg/dL. 117mg/dL is considered prediabetic if you are fasting for 8 hours.
I was recommended Zoloft and the thought of taking it makes me feel horrible despair. I'm trying to do research but it's hard because I get the feeling SSRIs are discussed like vaccines, where people avoid bringing up anything negative about them. I want to know the good, bad, and ugly. Just frustrated...
I want to preface by saying that even though it didn't work for me doesn't mean it might not work for you.
I was diagnosed with manic depression when I was 14 years old and they put me on Zoloft which caused my suicidal thoughts to get worse when was 15 I tried to kill myself with Ambien and vodka. I woke up with my mother screaming at me and sticking her fingers down my throat while on the phone with an ambulance.
It was a traumatic experience that has made me reluctant to take any medication. As for other antidepressants my friend tried Fluoxetine, she said that she felt tired most of the time but had moments of happiness.
I also read a story about a
boy who killed his grandparents and blamed it on Zoloft. Considering how I felt about myself I wouldn't be surprised if it causes someone to kill somebody.
