Lots going on!

Hello, and a quick ‘sorry’ to all you kind people who have been in touch previously and to whom I owe replies. It will happen!

I’ve had personal issues (marriage...lack of support from hubby) and I’d shut down all but necessary needs until I got back to a happy place. Getting there!

Anyway, great news for me...kicked my Endo to the kerb! (Not literally, can’t move much, lol!) Went to see him yesterday, asked him again why he said I was depressed at last meeting, and why he was happy to give me anti depressants but not thyroid meds. He denied saying anything!!! (Even though he said it twice!) I repeated that he’d said it and he denied it again. I told him ‘I’ wasn’t a liar and said I wanted to be discharged as he obviously had no interest in my wellbeing. He spouted the heart/bones/overmedicated spiel to which I responded I’d had tests, did not have osteoporosis, my heart results were fine, and my pulse was no longer repressed on too little medication.

So, I’m more or less on my own in my world but I know I can get all the support I need in here!

I’ve started taking a turmeric supplement and have a D3 soft gel supplement in mind but need a K2/MK7 soft gel recommendation please! I understand if both are in soft gel form then they can be taken together?

Immediate plans are to change GP’s in the next month or so and waiting to hear their views on me at assessment. If all goes well I will get a requisite dose to keep me well.

I don’t object to meds being reduced as needed as long as I ‘feel’ well, but refuse point blank to be systematically forced down again into illness just to suit a blood result!

Enough babbling...just so excited that I finally stood up for myself after almost 18 months!!! Yes!!!

Thanks for reading/listening!

Healthy Origins do a K2-MK7 softgel. I would still take the D3 and K2 with dietary fat, maybe a full fat yogurt.

Also, you can get an oil based MK7 liquid - Vitabay Organics.

Google for best prices.

Hello SeasideSusie and thank you! Would a probiotic drink suffice instead? (Not a big yoghurt fan.)

I don't know how much fat is in a probiotic drink. Any dietary fat will do, nice lump of cheese, toast/cracker with proper butter.
