Vitamins

[Noosat]

Last few days I have been having headaches, PMR sufferer. Could it be that I started taking extra Vitamin K?

[SnazzyD]

What sort of headaches? Have you tried stopping the vitamin K?

[PMRpro Ambassador]

If they started soon after you started the vit K then the sensible thing to do is stop taking it and see if that helps.

But as Snzzy says - what SORT of headache?

[Noosat in reply to PMRpro]

Stopped taking it to-day. Headache is kind of vague, in different parts of head. Of course these days I've been doing even more reading than usual and more work on the computer.

Thanks so much for reply

I changed to a vit d spray with vit k and felt really off/weird. Tried several times and abandoned it. Never had trouble with any other vitamins.

Thanks so much for reply. I stopped taking K yesterday. Will cut down on D as it has become very sunny and I do get outdoors.

You can't guarantee that you are producing vit D through the action of sun on the skin. At 60 you produce only a quarter of what you would have done at 20 - and you are a couple of years north of that if I remember rightly I don't keep my vit D up without supplements - even though I do live close enough to the equator to produce vit D all year round and I am outside more than enough theoretically.

Thanks for reply, I take a multi vitamin with D also a low quantity pill. My diet is one that is high in all the necessary vitamins = lots of greens and fruit, eggs and occasional organic meat. With the K and the D, I'm trying to see how it will affect me, if at all. My next Doctor appointment is June 22. Appreciate all your input.
