Supplement B13

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Parksville, BC

My B12 level was very low so I’m taking supplements. My doctor told me I can stop taking it soon. Not to take it everyday but I read up on it and it says you can take it everyday. Any thoughts on this?

Plugs especially your brain tends to get foggy and B Complex vitamins helps with that foggyness. I have been taking it for years and I think it really helps.

Is your RA doctor ok with that? My GP is the one who told me not to take it everyday

Shelly,
It is a good thing when your doctor tells you that you can reduce or quit a med or supplement. It means your doc is really paying attention to your bloodwork. B12 is iron, so you do not want your levels too high and it sounds like your supplement has improved your levels.
I had the similar thing with D3, was taking 5,000iu every day, now I take it every other day. Our Rheumatologist watches our bloodwork, every 3 months, like a hawk..lol I am glad she does..keeps my daughter and me on the right path.
Please never hesitate to ask your doctor why they are reducing or changing a med or supplement.
I hope this helps.
