    Glad you are positive. Sometimes our jobs can be draining. I can relate to you on that. I have to work from 7-7 on Friday and Saturday to catch people up thats overdue for their second vaccine. I am wondering how I will handle those long hours?

    Vaccine

    The soreness is just like any shot you get in your arms. My arm was a bit more sore than with the first one but it’s not irritating I just picked up my hand weights and gave muscles a workout. Problem was solved. I am glad you did ok, wishing the same when you take the next one.

    I understand your concern but we did just fine. Thousands of healthcare workers, civilians and soldiers have taken it here, no issues. If people have underlined medical conditions they may experience slight side effects, as for me l had a very slight burning in my chest for about 3 minutes after...

    Hi I have taken them both and no major issues. They told me of the possible side effects with the second one and I had a slight headache for a few seconds, I felt hot in my chest for a few minutes but it went away, but that could have been due to me having acid-reflux or just being nervous, but...

    So much hair gone!

    You are so lucky! It’s been almost 2 years and I am still struggling! I’ve always had nice long hair, now it’s a thing of the past. It’s growing but this summer I am cutting it down to the thickness and just carry on with a short style.

    So much hair gone!

    I hope it gets better for you. It’s been 3 years for me now. I thought I was ok until a year later! That’s when I started experiencing hair loss. It grew back so long and beautiful only to fall out again. Lately I’ve been using collagen tablets, there is also powder but due to acid reflux and...

    Do you mind if I ask what does your high potency vitamin consist of, just found out I am low in vitamin D again always have been especially with iron since the birth of my last child 17 years ago.

    I only pay $40 for a 3 month supply. I prefer just one pill a day. I can’t do all the different flavors I have reflux and don’t want to take chances but the same company makes both pills. But it’s required to take 4 pills a day! You only need at least 100% of daily value of each supplement.

    What other vitamin did she say to take them with. It shouldn’t be taken with iron or the multivitamins. They cancel each other out so your body won’t get what it needs. Have you tried the chews? I agree they are huge pills, but my insurance only pays for pills.

    There are so many choices. My doctor did tell me to not take the kids multivitamins because you will to take to many to equal 100% or more daily value. Such confusion! Thank God for support groups.

    I believe you can’t take them with the multivitamins either. They cancel each other out. Should be at least 2 hours apart. That’s why I just do one pill a day and a vitamin D to avoid confusion and try and get in what my body needs. the ProCare Bariatric multivitamins for me also curves cravings.

    The Bariatric multivitamins with iron has everything you need in one pill a day. I just take an additional vitamin D with calcium. It was too much for me to take a bunch of pills every day. They are a bit pricy! I always get a 3 month supply for about $40.
