Here's a good question:

I have finished tx and wondering .....Should I continue to not take supplements ?

I was thinking to at least wait until after my next vl test in about a week.

But really have no idea and want to get back on my sups.

Felt like crap all day today and just guessing it is because all of sudden my body is no longer getting it "fix".  I guess its a  type of withdrawal.  hmmmm.

thoughts?

I had to bring in all my meds, in the bottle with the script on it, and the supplements,  so they could cross check them for interactions,  I'm allergic to a few things so i have to be kinda careful what meds i take with other meds

Mm,
Good question DM. I would wait till after V/l personally. I am still taking some of mine . ALA Vit D. I have others but told not to take them. Have to be sooo careful don't we? When do you see your Specialist again?

Yeah your poor body has taken a beating, you'll have a yuk feel for a bit before you feel ok again. Patience in post tx, it's a different headspace to tx DM. You've been here before you know it takes a bit for body to readjust.  But it won't be as bad 8) I think you'll bounce back quickly, coz you did so well on tx, working and all. Cal :)

I'd wait too.  But then I've been overly cautious about any supplements.  The less variables, the better I feel about it.
