Fed up! Vitamins and healthy regime needed

I've was on intensive therapy for July/August including prednisone and abs. My prednisone has been reduced to 10mgs a day. I went to my GP 2 weeks ago after feeling like crap for almost a month - aching everywhere, constant pain etc. I thought I had an infection but he seems to think it's my body reacting to the reducing steroid dose and advised paracetamol and nurofen for the pain.

I can't remember the last time I've had a day where I feel well and I'm fed up. Something has to change. I've asked my respiratory consultant numerous times re vitamins and taking vitamin D but he's very non committal and just says to eat healthily which I haven't been doing to be honest as I'm on maternity leave juggling a baby while I feel this bad.

So can anyone reccommend what vitamin regime they use? I'll work on the eating part but feel I need a boost. I have zero energy all the time and would like to feel well again or at least not so crap!

Would love to hear what has worked for ye

Thanks

you could try a liquid tonic for starters?

You and your body have been through so much so I hope you'll be able to start your new regime today. Very best, Peege

A good multivitamin is a good start. I give my husband Berocca in the morning which makes a refreshing drink. Cheapest place to buy is Superdrug 3 for 2. If he doesn't have a Berocca he takes a multivitamin tablet. He also takes Vitamin D and an Omega 3 oil capsule. Opinion seems to be divided over whether we need extra vitamins or whether we get everything we need from a good diet but there seems to be a consensus that Omega 3 oil is very good for everyone. Many people think the same applies to Vitamin D. I had a blood test after 10 days in the sun and was found to be low in Vitamin D. I've just finished a 3 month course of Calceos ( calcium and Vitamin D) and now they are normal. Maybe you could ask your doctor for a blood test to check your levels.

Looking after a baby is exhausting and being sleep deprived won't help so try to get as much rest as you can.

Hope you're feeling better soon x
