I take a Centrum Silver multi-vitamin every morning, but that's it as far as vitamins. I also take meds for blood pressure, gerd, thyroid and hormones. Which reminds me....I need to find that thread Tink had about an over the counter hormone.

Diana, how did you know what other vitamins to take and for what?

I was watching Oprah,which I can't stand, and Dr.Oz was on. I really do like watching him. He said that if you have a heart condition you should take it with your heart meds. I noticed a difference when I started to take it. My chest flutters calmed down even more when I took it with my regular medicine. Then I read online that taking Fish Oil is good for your heart and can somehow help you loose weight. Well I figured I would kill 2 birds with one stone! LOL

Recently my blood work came back low white blood count. The dr. took further tests and found out that I am anemic this was in June. I am to take an iron supplement along with vitamin C and retake blood in Sept. I also take vitamin B-6 for carpal tunnel, since I have been taking it I feel better with my hands...

B-6 helps with carpal tunnel? I sometimes wake up with my hands asleep, I wonder if it would help me?

Janet it has helped me I asked the dr. and at the vitamin shoppe what it does. They both answered that it helps settle the nerve endings, also great if you have trouble sleeping it calms nerves. I sometimes get numbness on occassion when I sleep so when that happens and I wake up I wear the splint and that helps..

Try it Janet you have nothing to lose it won't hurt.. Ask the pharmacist next time you go in...

You can look on the labels and it will briefly tell you what they're good for. Also, you can check on-line. Here's a page with a few vitamins on it.

You can get books that also tell how to treat things with vitamins. My daughter has a book that she picked up at a garage sale and that's how I found out about night blindness and vitamin A.
