No B-12 (Cobolamine) is but one flavor of various B and C vitamins you need everyday. You should consider some fruits, fruit juices or multivitamin tablets.

It is very treatable. Try lotimin AF. No one who is not immune compromised will keep it forever

You don't give any information on your case history and the cure that you have been prescribed.\nAt this moment, what I can say in order not to be very long and boring, is that you can find all the information that you want in the NIH site and the FDA site, as well. You can find also the alternative therapies and food supplements, or home remedies, as you are calling them. Browse it.\nQuite often they prescribe aminoacids, as an adjunctive therapy, like glucosamine and chondroitine sulfate for oral use. \nOther natural remedies are the white willow, SAMe(S-adenosylmethionine), niacinamide, some proteolytic enzymes, \navocado, soybean unsaponifiables and dietary factors. \nTake care to the allergies(or even BSE, if the provenience is not certified) that can cause some preparations of bovine provenience.\n\nFor online purchases, get advice first from the FDA site, to protect yourself from any incovenience.\n Just click on the link \nhttp://www.fda.gov/buyonline\n\nIn the University of Alabama,at Birmingham Medical Center,as I know, are using the bee's venom in the cure of diseases. Google it to find out more.\nIn a few words, this story has started with the observation that the old chinese beekepers did not suffer from pain(of any kind, I think) and they have related that with bee's sting and the quantity of bee venom that they were taking during their life, slow by slow.\nPlease, cross this information.\n\nThis is a link for the arthritis program in the University hospital of Cleveland. You can get informed and participate to the program if you wish\nhttp://www.uhhs.com/Clinicalareas.aspx?departmentid=94\nBy the way, where do you live?\n\nThis is a previous question asked here about the nature of the disease. Have a look. You will understand the difference between OSTEOARTHRITIS and REUMATOID ARTHRITIS.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AsqspJo754Qt04tVLvNq22IjzKIX?qid=1006011403499\n\nI hope that you have been diagnosed by a doctor and these are not symptoms of another disease.\n\nTake care.\n\nKaterina

Yes you can! Speak with your physician. Also, start a regular exercise routine and eat a balanced diet WITH a vitamin supplement.

I took it for about a year but did not have any symptoms like that. You need to keep monitoring your B/P and see the doctor. You may need to have a different dose or be switched. It takes many people two or three changes to get just the right medication and/or level of meds before you find one that works for you. Good luck!

I agree, check with your doctor to be sure. I am not sure from the way you have listed things above exactly what shots you got when. It would be unusual to get a Pertussis only, for instance, and I'm guessing you got a DPT in 92 and again in 98. In that case, you are not due a DT booster (i.e. Diphtheria and Tetanus toxoid) until 2008. It's every ten years from here on in.

Hello again there!  Sorry to hear about how you feel.  I also have CFS or abstein bar.  I'm a bit of a pro at it, the difference with me is that I am a new person after my treatment. CFS starts out as Mononucleosis (MONO) the virus which if untreated turns to CFS, so that's why my doctor treats it with Valtrex.  Depression and anxiety come with CFS which also causes joint and muscle soreness, that's where the antidepressants come in.  As far as the fybromyalgia the only thing I know for it is pain management and that is something I don't dare explain because I have no personal experience but from my mother having it I know it's not easy to treat. Listen, if your doctor disagrees with the treatment that I just described to you as far as the CFS then you need to find someone who is more open to your health solutions. I love my doctor, he's so wonderful that my trust in him is unmentionable. I know it's scary to try someone new, but you need to feel better.  Wouldn't you like to feel normal again?  Be able to get up when you wake up and go.  Not fall asleep at the wheel.  You get my point.  I'm a new person and I have a new baby.  Believe me it feels good to be awake and the weight of the world is now a lot more manageable.  By the way drinking makes it worse, a lot worse!  So if you do, you need to take a break until you're all better.  Believe me it didn't help me any, I thank GOD for today. Chat with you later   I hope this info helps u a little bit. By the way if you're having trouble with a day at a time, try an hour at a  time.  Sounds like you're under a lot of stress and that makes the CFS worse all of the time.  Help is on the way,  you'll be alright. My doctor always reassured me that I'd be o.k., he is very involved with his patients and that's why everyone loves and trusts him so much

No such thing as a B-12 clinic in Northern Va.  I've lived here all my life.  If you need B-12 shots, you see your primary care doctor who prescribes and gives them to you.

Cortisone shots, Prednisone, etc.

You can take the B-Vites in the A.M..Most do this because that is where You are getting the energy. Just read instructions on bottle to determine how much B's are safe. Mine(Nature Made Brand) say...One caplet daily w/ a Meal (or You'll get jittery like You drank too much  coffee) . Mine has Vitamin C also. This helps Your body absorb Iron better. B-Vites are great.  They boost the Immune system.I also take Nature Made  Omega3 Fish Oil capsules. These soften brain receptor cells to improve thought processes. I take at night, so when I awake, I am refreshed and ready for the day. Get the odorless kind. The don't break down until in lower intestine so You cannot taste or burp or even smell the fishy taste You get when using the regular kind. Fish oil also helps prevent coronary heart disease, and promotes cellular regeneration!!!! 60 soft gels @ Rite-Aid are only $9.99. It may sound gross, but believe me, It helps tremendously. Also helps keep u regular...if u get My drift. I hope this helps!!!! Any vitamin in excess is as bad as anything else in excess. You are wise for asking!!!! Great Luck to You and God  Bless!!! J ~  P.S. Skip the B-12 @ 4th meal because You are getting enough W/ the complex. Too much can cause health problems! You are taking B-12 in the complex. You can also see a Dr. for Vit B shots to lose weight if heavy. My mother-in -law gets these and they give her tons of energy to burn fat. 100.00 a pop though!!!

THIS IS WORTH READING!   I was diagnosed with it in 2002, following severe and sudden breathing difficulty, mostly with exercise, then with even just walking on level ground!  After initial biopsy surgery, which followed three years of believing a doctor who was wrong, I was put on many different drugs, Isoniasid, Rifampin, Ethambutol, vitamin B6, as well as Prednisone which is supposed to alleviate the inflammation, but did not, or if yes, it only kept my condition from being worse than it was.  You're probably, or should be, having pulmonary function tests every three months.  That will tell your doc a lot about your condition.  But BEWARE, your diagnosis is not the word of the almighty - I went to Yale Univ Med and the Mayo Clinic, both said no to Sarcoidosis, probably Bronchiolitis, and that the biopsy slides were insufficient.  Now I'm off the Prednisone, and some better than before, but in my case, I also had a heart valve condition, now improved non-invasively.  But I do still have breathing problems that require supplemental oxygen at night and sometimes during the day.  Whatever you do, get a second, even a third opinion!  My Sarcoidosis was diagnosed at Mount Sinai in NYC, then I went to Yale, then the Mayo Clinic.  The best for lungs in the USA is supposed to be Denver Jewish Medical Center. You probably will need oxygen to fly.  Good luck to you!  canajo@yahoo.com

Isn't that manboobs? I'd go to a family physician to get advice and options no matter what it is.\nGood luck.

B 12 is found only in animal products.  If your vitamin B 12 is low try eating more lean meat and fish and eggs.  However, a common problem is that your digestive system may not be able to absorb the B 12 from your food.  In that case the only solution is a once a month injection.  I do my own.  It is simple, easy to do, and important because lack of B 12 in the body can be VERY serious.

mcc_md@yahoo.com for more info\n\nThere is no specific treatment for acute hepatitis B; in 95 percent of adults, the immune system controls the infection and eliminates the virus within about six months. In people who develop chronic hepatitis, the goals of treatment are to stop the virus from multiplying while liver damage is still reversible.\n\nGeneral measures — All persons infected with chronic hepatitis B should be vaccinated against hepatitis A unless they are already known to be immune. Pneumococcal vaccine and yearly influenza vaccination should be considered in patients who have developed cirrhosis.\n\nRegular screening for liver cancer is also recommended, particularly for older individuals, those with cirrhosis, and patients with family history of liver cancer. In general, this entails an annual or biannual ultrasound examination and blood test for serum alpha fetoprotein level (a protein frequently produced by liver tumors, which is detectable in blood). The best approach to screening for liver cancer has not been determined.\n\nAntiviral therapy — Four currently available drugs slow or stop multiplication of the hepatitis B virus: lamivudine, adefovir, entecavir and interferon-alpha. Not all hepatitis B patients will benefit from approved treatments. The physician and the patient should discuss treatment options after a careful assessment of the individual's conditions. Regular monitoring is needed during treatment to assess for response, side effects and drug resistance, and for relapse after treatment is stopped. Regular monitoring is also needed if treatment is deferred, as some patients may benefit from treatment when the hepatitis becomes more active later on.\n\nLamivudine — Lamivudine (Epivir-HBV) is a good first treatment for people with chronic hepatitis B who have detectable virus activity and ongoing liver inflammation. Lamivudine is also appropriate for people who have had a poor response to interferon-alpha, people who have worsening cirrhosis, and people who experience sudden liver failure.\n\nStudies suggest that long-term treatment with lamivudine (treatment for at least one year) decreases virus levels and reduces inflammation of the liver.\n\nLamivudine is taken orally, usually at a dosage of 100 mg/day, for at least one year. Although it is very safe, the drug can trigger a flare of hepatitis in some people and can also be associated with uncommon side effects that you should discuss with your doctor. The major problem with lamivudine is that a resistant form of hepatitis B virus (referred to as a YMDD mutant) frequently develops in patients on long-term treatment. Appearance of the mutant virus may be accompanied by a marked increase in virus level and a flare of hepatitis, and in rare instances liver failure. As new drugs with lower rates of drug resistance become available, lamivudine is used less commonly in patients who require long-term treatment.\n\nAdefovir — Adefovir (Hepsera) is an alternative initial choice for people who have detectable virus activity and ongoing liver inflammation. An advantage of adefovir compared to lamivudine is that resistance to the drug occurs at much lower rates. In addition, adefovir can suppress lamivudine- resistant hepatitis B mutants. Adefovir has been associated with kidney problems when used in high doses or for long durations, so kidney function needs to be checked before and during treatment.\n\nAdefovir is taken orally, at a dosage of 10 mg/day, for at least one year. Most patients will need long-term treatment to maintain control of the hepatitis B virus.\n\nEntecavir — Entecavir (Baraclude) is another choice for people who have detectable virus activity and ongoing liver inflammation. It is a relatively new drug so its benefits and safety are still being determined. An advantage compared with lamivudine and adefovir is its greater potency against the hepatitis B virus. So far, resistance seems to be very rare. A disadvantage is its
