Ali - pee on the stick luv.

Did that. No luck. Now I'm bleeding like a stuck pig.

Doctors.

B complex vitamins do wonders for me. I take them in pill form, but you can also get a shot in the ass once a month or something.

• B1 – Thiamin - 1.2 mg/day for men and 1.1 mg/day for women to prevent deficiency and maintain good health.
  Food Sources: Enriched grain products (bread, cereal, pasta), legumes, nuts & seeds, pork, and whole grains.
• B2 – Riboflavin – is necessary for red blood cell formation, as well as for assisting with fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Also works to improve skin blemishes, migraines and in preventing the onset of cataracts. 1.3 mg/day for men and 1.1 mg/day for women.
  Food Sources: Avocados, beef, dairy products, eggs, fish, fortified breads & cereals, liver, and mushrooms.
• B3 – Niacin – is an effective aid for lowering cholesterol, as well as to promote healthy skin. Can also be used to treat depression, insomnia and arthritis. 16 mg/day for men and 14 mg/day for women.
  Food Sources: Eggs, enriched grain products (bread, cereal, pasta), dairy products, and high protein foods (beef, chicken, fish & nuts).
• B5 - Pantothenic Acid – works to promote a healthy Central Nervous System, as well as assist in energy production, and fight chronic fatigue, migraines, allergies and heartburn. Experts recommend taking 4-7 mg/day although there is no RDA for Pantothenic acid
  Food Sources: Fish, legumes, organ meats, poultry, whole grains, and yogurt.
• B6 – Pyridoxine – is needed for almost every function in the body, working as a coenzyme for numerous enzymes. Plays a major role in forming red blood cells, proteins and neurotransmitters, as well as stabilizing homocysteine levels. Can be used to relieve PMS and asthma attacks. 1.3 mg/day for men and women under the age 50; after 50, the RDA rises to 1.5 mg/day for women and 1.7 mg/day for men.
  Food Sources: Avocados, bananas, chickpeas, fish, potatoes, poultry, and meat.
• B12 – Cyanocobalamin – is essential to prevent pernicious anemia, which is caused by B12 deficiency. 2.4 mcg/day for adults to prevent a B12 deficiency
  Food Sources: Animal foods (cheese, eggs, fish, meat, organ meats, oysters, sardines, and yeast).
• Biotin is important to improve nail & hair health. Taking 30-100 mcg/day can keep you in good health although there is no RDA for this nutrient
  Food Sources: Barley, cauliflower, legumes, liver, nuts, oatmeal, rice, soy, and whole wheat.
• Folic acid - Essential during pregnancy to protect against birth defects; stabilizes homocysteine levels. 400 mcg daily for adults, although women of childbearing age are recommended twice that dose to prevent birth defects.
  Food Sources: Beans, green vegetables, orange juice, and whole grains.
• B12 - Cyanocobalamin - is needed to prevent anemia; promotes normal nerve growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths that cover and protect nerve ending synapses. It functions with Folic Acid in the formation and regulation of red blood cell synthesis, iron utilization, and nerve tissue growth, particularly to avoid the risk of neural tube defects during fetal development of pregnancy.
• Cyanocobalamin has a metabolic role in the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important to memory and learning.

There's also a B Complex that comes in a "liquid" form - ahh, liquid energy. I don't take it regularly, but when I do, I definetly feel a difference around 1:30 - 2:00 pm - that's when I am most tired. You can also take it atleast twice to three times a day. Also, your Iron may be low - I am border line anemic and that sometimes affects your "energy" levels as well.

I can't read this thread title without thinking of this:

Anemia?

I had those shots in the arse last month. oh.my.god. A person could get hooked on that shit.

I definitely don't have low iron. In fact, I have to be careful how much red meat I eat because I have a tendancy to have high iron levels.

Anyway, I'm going to go see the doctor later in the week. I"m sure they'll send me for the usual blood tests then stick a tube up my arse or something else more pleasant.

Exercise and try and make sure you are drinking enough water.
Many who are tired all the time are dehydrated.
Sorry you are dealing with this.

I drink heaps of water. probably about 3 litres a day on average. When you live in a country with a warm climate, you learn to drink plenty of water. Aside from that, I like having clear skin.

Anyway, the eye twitch seems to have stopped, so that's good. I went to bed early every night for the last couple of weeks and I stopped drinking coffee etc. Had a domestic issue with hubby so didn't have to worry about talking to him for a few days.

Long story short, i'm feeling much better now. I think I'm going to live.

Good to hear.

Thanks matey.

Eek, are things OK with your man and you?

Oh yeah...he just pissed me off with something he said to me. We were arguing about our taxes. I ended up telling him to do what he wants with his money then. He apologized for being a dick.

All is well now. ;)
