Ah! Sorry, Jimmylegs! I saw the Jimmy and I thought you were a man this whole time. I'm so sorry! In that case, thank you for sharing your bladder struggles. Hopefully, my scans will be normal and I will ask to get referred to a Urologist. I called my gyno today to ask and he just said to wait for t...

Hi Jimmy, I'm glad you are checking up on me. I hope you are doing okay. I see an internist who is big on nutrition. I got my vitamin D up. Everything else is in optimal ranges. Thyroid and such is also normal. The migraines have gotten a bit better on a low tyramine diet. I wasn't sure if I should ...

Hello. I'm a woman in my late 20s who is struggling with new bladder issues. A few months ago my gyno noticed during my yearly exam that I don't feel when my bladder is full. I also don't completely empty it. I had been surprised by how much was in my bladder a few weeks leading up to this. I've had...

it is bisglycinate. Does that make a different?

Oh my, I didn't even think about the hypotension and magnesium. Good catch! I'll keep it at 400 for now as I use the BP monitor and try to up it later. I'll pay attention to how much zinc I'm getting over the next few weeks and look into what can deplete magnesium and vitamin D. He might run more te...

Thank you for your reply and the conversion information. I am wondering what to take with what and when. The GP did stress that it was in normal ranges, but since I have symptoms, it can't hurt to try if I want to. He also said magnesium doesn't help migraines...so there is that. I was quick to poin...

They got it back before everyone closes for the holidays. I really don't feel well and I'm willing to try other supplements. Does anything (besides the vitamin D3) look really off? Vit. B1…..56 ug/l…..ref: 30-76 Vit B6……28 ug.l…ref: 5-30 Vit B12 ….463..ref: 197-771 Vit D3 (25-OH-D3)pg/ml…25,7 (20-70...

I might be waiting for the results for a while due to the Christmas holidays. :( My GP decided to run a battery of tests because my normally low blood pressure (around 90/60) has gotten lower in the past few months. It was 70/50 or 70/60 in his office. No wonder I felt dizzy! I have been feeling mor...

You guys are awesome! Thank you for sharing this information.
Blood test on December 15th.

I'm glad they will have a quick turn around. Thanks! I actually recently moved to Europe, so I don't think I can order the kits. My neuro said testing is a good idea and she'll talk to the insurance company so they cover it. I'll pop by my doctor's office today and see which tests they can do. I hop...

Thank you both so much for taking the time to make suggestions, explain the tests, and what I might need to do after. It would be awful if I didn't do something right that could potentially help me and really appreciate that you are sharing your knowledge. After the scans for lesions were clear two ...

Thank you so much for these tips! I will follow up.

I take 2000mg fish oil. It has 6ug/Mcg of B12. Supposedly 240 percent of my daily requirement according to the box. It also has vitamin E, B1, B6, omega-3, and folic acid. The b12 is the cyanocobalamin. Is one better than the other? I'll also request a B-12 test... I do eat an egg every day, yogurt,...

Thank you for your reply. Advanced MAGNESIUM (by InnovixLabs). Highly Bioavailable Bisglycinate + Malate Formula, 150 Vegetarian Capsules. 200 mg Magnesium per serving. I'm not sure if I should include a link?: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QSR9D9I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&ps...

I forgot to mention that I do take supplements: Vitamin D, Magnesium, and fish oil with B-vitamins. I don't think I have had a blood test to check if I have a deficiency, but I will ask for one, just in case. It would be wonderful if doubling my vitamin D pills fixed things!
