To B or not to B?
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi Lovelies, how are you all? Just a question...yeah I know another one! LoL reading many posts here, I've seen that vitamin B12 or multi Bs have been beneficial to many ladies through peri & meno, I have mentioned in my posts that I've tried multi Bs in the past but thinking they were creating or aggravating anxiety I stopped taking them. Sometimes Bs can cause anxiety etc in people. Even though I'm in my third month of taking Livial(Tibolone) im still not feeling right & get terrible heady wooziness & low sugar feelings....would a multi B or B12 stop this, could it be a lack of Bs? Just wish this head thing would stop, it's scaring the bejesus out of me 😥 Thnx ladies for your opinions, take care & keep well xo

I use vitamin B12 boost spray and well woman multi vitamins, my dizziness Isnt as bad as it was but I think I'm iron deficient, therefore the supplement of iron is probably contributing to making me feel better, especially as I have terrible periods. I have been feeling anxious this last month or so, however Christmas always stresses me out plus I've just (by process of elimination) found out I'm allergic to plug ins, I had a festive one plugged in, I felt tight across the chest, lightheaded and panicky, no word of a lie, I unplugged it and I've not felt panicked since....strange but true. It might be a long shot but look for environmental factors that might be making you feel rough too. Hope you're feeling better soon x

There are 2 types of b12
Cyanocobalamin contains cyanide and your body has to convert it into what you need. The second is methycobalmin which is better for you and stays in the system longer.
Best way to take is by patch or sublingual by lozenge as a lot is lost in the digestive process.
Hope this helps x

I am taking a ton of supplements. Calcium Magnesium with vitamin D and Phosphorus., Fish Oil, B complex, lots of greens, progesterone cream, amino acids, probiotics and enzymes . I still feel dizzy and off balance and jittery with indigestion during my period. This whole thing is a nightmare. I am going to be 49 in April and can't wait for this awful roller coaster to stop. We all have to just be hopeful and enjoy those moments when we do feel semi normal. Take care

Do you only have these dizzy, jittery feelings etc during your period? Just wondering if you feel anyway normal at other times while still taking the supplements etc. and are you taking the supplements long and non-stop? I too feel awful around my period, when i get one, and then wonder if the supplements are the cause. If you feel a bit better, like me, at other times then its not supplements? thnks

I just started taking my supplements mid October. I have been having the weird off balance and dizzy feeling with panic since April of 2015. My jittery feeling began This November 2015. What really has helped me is eating small tiny healthy meals every 2 hours. Unfortunately I've also had to cut out sugar and caffeine from my diet. I do have some good days during the month where I feel 70% normal. During ovulation and when I have my period I feel the worst. I do think my supplements are working I just think it will take a few months to really see the benefits. Take Care keep hanging in there.

thanks for that. seems that there is no escaping feeling rubbish just before and after any period. i thought the supplements were doing something. it's so hard to know what to do! i too have given up caffeine, sugar and eating a very plain diet, and like you 70% normal except just before and after any period. its awful. maybe you could let me know how the supplements are working for you in another few weeks.
don't you just get fed up with trying out stuff!
take care

But yes I'm heavier than I was at 9 months with all my kids and have been for several years now. I might loose a few lbs but they come right back.
