Jodi, how do you react to ephedrine? The same? If not, any idea which ingredient(s) might be causing the adverse reaction?

I am fine with ephendrine. I don't get the shakes or feel like shit with ECY at all.

I will be picking up potassium pills SOON.

I hope so because I still really think you have a mineral deficiency. :no:

I don't know if I should keep taking Redline, switch to ECA, or what. Also, should I take aspirin for my aches and pains or is tylenol ok? I'll have to go out and buy aspirin I guess, I am not sure if there would be a bad reaction w/ tylenol or not..maybe I am just worrying too much..

Tylenol or Asprin are fine. If the Redline is making you feel worse than stop taking it.
 
Ty Jodi

I am going to stop taking the redline for now, my body doesnt need any additional weird things happening to it right now.

I am going to get calcium, magnesium, and potassium, I dunno if they come in one, would be nice.

Once my body feels "normal" again, I will probably see how I feel on an ECA or ECY stack..out of curiosity, what does the Yohimbe do?

I managed 30mins of cardio..better than nothing :) That is just about the only way for me to blow off some stress..and it too can be stressful..stupid nausea!
 
You can get cal/mag/zinc in one pill.

Look for a multi-mineral with Iron as well.
 
Iron makes it hard for me to :toilet:

Is zinc necessary or helpful?
 
No necessary, but helpful.

I get the minerals without iron but I also don't get my periods so there is no need for the iron. :shrug:
 
Oh..well my doctor specifically recommended I get vitamins w/o iron bc my body can't seem to handle it :no:

Yay, old people vitamins for me :cool2: :lol:
 
Glad you went to the gym hon-It always make ya feel better than sugar-well most of the time!:lol:
 
greek...go to GNC and get the women's ultra mega w/o iron...its like 16 bucks for the small bottle.

iMan..."mustard and biscuits!"...and the next time someone lays their problems out to maybe get a litle support or a kind word ....and you make fun of them...i'm gonna come use a slingblade on your ass beeeeatch!
 
DrChiro, is there enough calcium and magnesium in them?
Should I still get potassium?
I am currently taking OneSource multivitamin (for adults 50 plus) :lol: from walmart

Thanks!
 
Greekie...he went to class. He'll back later. K?
 
Thats fine hon I wasnt expecting an immediate response :)
 
GNC sucks they are enteric coating and just sit in your stomach and only about 20-30% ever get absorbed. Time released my ass. Do your self a favor stick their pill in vinegar and goto bed and wake up and see what that is doing in youir stomach !! better off with capsules a few times through out the day !!
 
My multis are 'capsules' too. They are like $50 a bottle, and I take 2, 3X a day. Ive heard that tablets/caplets in multis are no good too.
 
jill you are correct. Depends on brands (twin labs, solgar vm-75 are only ones that i would trust
 
I get mine from the health food store, im not sure the brand. All I know is that Steves dad, is the biggest health freak ever. He knows everything about everything. He recommended them to me!
 
Hi Greeky!!

Are you searching for a multi? I would choose just like HANS mentioned... Solgar. :)

I do prefer capsules in most things to ensure absorption.

hardasnails...is not correct is saying GNC sucks...actually their products are tested for bioavailability by an independant lab and in most cases are held to a higher standard than many medications....the vinegar test is wothless....first of all the HCl in the stomach is much stronger than vinegar and the fact that the stomach has muscles that constantly churn and pressurize its contents make it much more powerful than a glass of vinegar.

cheaper multis, like centrum and walmart brand are not tested like this and most do not get absorbed.....we actually can still see the pills in the intestines when we take x-rays of some patients here.

the women's ultra mega has 500mg calcium and an 80mg B-complex....i would still take a calcium supplement (citrate malate form)....magnesium...extra E (d-alpha form) and C...i would also like to see your blood work b/c it sounds like you may be low in iron and you may have to figure out a way to take some and still keep "regular"

DrChiro here's my most recent bloodwork (December 10th)
What does Vit. E do? Also what about potassium? Zinc?
I am thinking maybe w/ the magnesium supplementation, iron wont bind me up, but I dont know if theres a way for me to test this w/o buyin a bottle of vitamins w/ iron and being stuck with them if the same thing happens.

I got decent sleep last night and no pricklies today, my body aches arent as bad either. Oh yeah the sun made me happy! :banana:

But I am craving chocolate like crazy and I'm not pmsing and I'm eating plenty!!!! EEK!!!
 
I had a few mini bites of chocolate today.:shhh: Thats why Im going to do cardio and abbies instead of keeping today as my rest day!
 
interestingly enough....magnesium deficiency can lead to chocolate cravings (no joke)...maybe your body is just telling you to go buy magnesium...so do it.

the GNC vitamins can be returned if you get the ones with iron and they mess you up....just keep the reciept...and if they give you shit tell them to call me!

more often than not magnesium ior calcium is responsible for muscle cramps and spasms, not potassium like most people think...but one or two 99mg potassiums a day wouldnt hurt if you want to play it safe...just dont overdo the potassium.

vitamin E is just an important antioxidant....working out produces alot of free radicals and antioxidants keep them from doing damage in the body. (by the way, IMO most heart disease is the result of free radical damage and not enough EFA's, NOT high cholesterol...but that is anotehr story)

your limited blood work loks good...this is a lipid and hormone pannel mostly...what was the rest of it (RBC, platelet, WBC, liver enzymes, etc?)
 
I currently take ALA most days w/ carb meals, should I get Vit E anyway? Should I get fish oil caps?

That's all the bloodwork they did on me :shrug:
 
well, more blood work is probably a good idea....worried about you possibly being anemic.

ALA is a great antioxidant as well, but i would take some E also.
 
My doc will probably refuse to take any more tests and continue to push me to take Lexapro for my anxiety :no:
 
anxiety issues can be very far reaching and have all kinds of wierd symptoms....i know from experience with my mom!

i dont know your anxiety situation but i am sure it is a contributing factor, just not the main issue...MD's are great at covering up symptoms with meds....we need to find out what is the ROOT of the problem and work on that as well...so we can take care of things for good!

your Dr works for YOU....if you want blood work....tell him to do it...you are paying for it! ( i am just suprised they didnt do a whole work-up when they did the hormone pannel...maybe he has it on record)
 
It's a school doctor.. I dont have insurance.. :shrug:
 
ahhh i see...that sucks...neither do i at the moment (scary)
check out some health clinic prices...i know they are always busy as hell but it may be worth it since they are cheap...two of my cousins are MD's in Jersey...what part of Jersey are you in?
