Anemia is a sign for bleeding due to stomach cancer as well. Get an UPPER GI scope.

it takes me an hour or three to relax at night until I can get the ringing out of my ears.

Mine never leaves.

My hearing has been modified by high explosives, RPG and heavy equipment. At least I can hear more than my ears rigging.

Same here. In 52 years its never been dominant on either side, instead it seems to center in the head behind the eyes. 40% hearing loss with loss of most higher frequencies and lousy speech discrimination. Have hearing aids that increase sound volume, but doesn't help with word discrimination. Just something to live with.

I was taking D, calcium, & zinc for awhile. Then bloodwork showed my calcium was elevated way too high.

it’s not a good idea to supp with calcium. much better to get it from food and the mag makes calcium absorb (and function as meant). When you have arthritis, that is calcium building up in your joints because you’re low in mag.

Exactly! Joints hurt so bad I could hardly walk. Stopped calcium & it cleared right up.

My daughter recently had a cancer scare that, thank God, turned out to be benign. But in the 8 days from her biopsy and her positive results, I went into a complete emotional breakdown. I assumed that when her good news came in my nerves would recover. But they haven’t. Her results came in on June 10 th and I can’t snap back to sanity. Before her scare, I was already starting to feel anxiety and depression over what’s been going on in the news, so I think that is playing a big part in what I’m experiencing now.

Went to see doctor and she said I may have a vitamin B deficiency. I suffered with extreme anemia last year and had to get a blood transfusion and take iron meds. My blood count had improved greatly when I went back in January.

I bought a bottle of B12 vitamins and hope to see some improvement in my anxiety. Praying for something to work. Already taking Lexapro for several years but they’re doing me absolutely no good.

Oh, and finding a therapist right now is nearly impossible. Many, if not all, have been closed since the onset of this virus hoopla. And if they are open, they’re not taking new patients. I feel so helpless.

I developed tinnitus this spring after I got covid. It sounds to me like a truck rumbling outside my house, or a household appliance malfunctioning. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what appliance was running before
I finally realized that the problem was in my ears. I lost my sense of smell, too. Both pretty annoying.

There is no reason for non-vegans to have a B12 deficiency, unless you subscribe to my methodology on the topic of general deficiency.

But since I’ve chosen to not engage on health matters at FR anymore, you’ll have to wait for the books.

Blame the health nazis here at FR.

And vegans be damned.

here is one theory from a patient about why it works, btw, I dont give a damn if some Dr here pops up and says Vitamin A wont work and its all hogwash. It works for me
https://patient.info/forums/discuss/cured-my-eustachian-tube-dysfunction-498607

“In the ear, air is constantly being lost from the ear cavity through the soft tissues of the ear, by a process of difussion which isn’t well understood. If the soft tissue lining the ear cavity is too thin or too porous, you will lose the air a lot faster than normal. I think this is what is happening for many of us with ETD. Also, the eustachian tube itself may be sticky, due to the lining of the soft tissues being compromised. Vitamin A is needed to properly make the epithelial lining of your soft tissues in your eustachian tubes, your ears, your nose and throat and your eyes (and probably everywhere in your body). If you don’t have enough, your soft tissues get scaly and dry, inflexible. In your ears, that means your eustachian tubes get stuck closed (or maybe stuck open too!) and also the air is lost faster from your ear cavity, causing pressure changes faster than normal.”

Oral B12 does not help if you actually have pernicious anemia nor does sublingual B12. The shots of B12 are administered once a month (usually) into a muscle. You can do it yourself if you can get a doctor to write an rx or just get the nurse at doctors office to do it. Easy fix and you will start feeling like a million dollars.
