For Those Of You Who Are In All Over Pain And Discomfort

[csiwarrick]

About 6 months ago I started getting pains all over mybody.  They seemed to start in my ribs and back.  They were like small pinch/cramp pains, and they were migratory and travelled around.  I just did not feel right. I also during this time found a breast lump, and immediately panicked and connected the syptoms (symptoms) to the lump and feared the worse.  It was all checked out and I was given the all clear, but I was still getting the pains.  I was also taking a a few vitamin pills, which due to the stress from the lump and pains I have forgotten to take for a while.  Mean while I gradually began to feel better and did not resume taking them again, until about 2/3 months ago.
3 weeks ago I started getting a pain in my knee & hip, so went to the dr's was given pain killers.  Then the pains started in between my ribs and my back but this time were abit stronger.  Also my arms, headache and dizziness, and soon it was migratory again. I have check my breasts and wow and behold the other breast has several lumps in it.  My doctor has checked them and is sure they are just gland thickening, but is reffering me just to be safe.  This past week has just been awful.  My breast bone has been so tender and almost unable to touch and this is the me as some of my rib and back pain.  I have also developed a kind of indegetion feeling in my chest and lots of burping.  I feel very uncomfortable and not right, fearing the worst again.
Then I have just remembered I am taking the vitamins again.  So I have stopped them as of today and am goin to c if I start to feel better.

So if you are taking vitamins and have been experiencing pain or other side effects and have not thought it could be you tablets, try not taking them for a while, see what happens.  Here is a link that is about others that have experienced pain from taking vitamins  do check it out.

I am a great vitamin/mineral fan - believe in them 100%.
I have been taking vitamins and minerals, all separate, i.e. not as multi's,  for years and with no problems.  You have to know which vitamins/minerals goes with which vitamins/minerals and in the correct dosage amount to each other. If you take one without the other can cause deficiency in the other one and if not correct can cause other health issues.  V-A and V-D, calcium and magnesium. Zinc, iron and copper. Selenium and Chromium.  The list goes on. You need to take the whole gamete of all the vitamins and minerals for them to work for you. Multi's are for healthy people to keep them that way, but they are not for people with health issues, in which we need the whole! If they made one multi pill for all our health needs it would have to be as big as a golf ball if not bigger - can you swallow you  that?

Perhaps you and others weren't taking the vitamins properly. Getting a real good vitamin/mineral, nutritional health book with related health issues, can be of great help in figuring this all out.

Good Luck and feel better soon.

I love my vitamins/minerals!
