Sounds like you're doing great!  Awesome job!!!!

I take a multi-vitamin with minerals - I prefer liquid gels or a full liquid vitamin.  Heat processed vitamins are not absorbed into the body correctly.  I found a multi-vitamin at Walmart that are liquid gels and they work so much better.  I also take a B-12 super complex which helps with energy.  I also take every morning a Chromium Picolinate which also helps me with energy.  It has made a huge difference in how I feel. At night I take Magnesium, Biotin, Garlic and Milk Thistle (for liver function) and they have helped me a ton too.  

I also recently switched to eating 2 eggs every morning for breakfast.  I was told by a nutritionist that it also gives you energy and helps to us make it through the day.  

Good luck and keep up the great work!!!!

Hugs,
Janet

I have been talikg the ONE A DAY plus energy...they are in a green bottle.  They seem to be working great...also the one a day weight management are pretty much the same.  Try one of those!!

I am really glad to hear your wife is supportive.  That is so important.  You are lucky to have her.  WD's are no fun by any means.  The energy takes awhile to come back.  Are you able to get outside and walk at all??  Exercise of any sort helps too.  You sound very upbeat and positive.  Keep it going!!!!              sara

no.. no after care just my wife she has been a HUGE factor in this recovery. I am so grateful i told her but was no real way to hide with tha w/ds besides being sick.. I felt so much betta telling her and she was very happy and knew i had been taking more that usual.. She said she knew it was gone happen .. ive seemed to get thru it with her and my kids.. they dont know but just seeing their face have been inspiring and with her support it has made alot easier.. My first few days was bad.. I just need to get energy and my bosy back to normal and i know will take time ,, Im excited and happy I made this choice to do this now

Alot of us found out that after we stopped using the pills our pain wasnt near as bad.  That is really great you stopped.  Are you going to any meetings or some sort of aftercare??  Am not sure about a multivitamin........may want to ask a pharmacist.  Walgreens has tons of vitamins i know..........sara
