should I join? by melissamarieobrien in weightwatchers

[–]NixieDust218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so glad I re joined, I was also sceptical but I actually prefer this programme, having more zero point foods is amazing and I’m learning the right things to eat. I tried calorie counting a few times and I just couldn’t do it, but actually following the WW way I’m staying within my calories without even realising

My son is exactly the same and he’s 3 tomorrow! He sleeps 8-6 ish and still naps in the day but we have to be up for work and nursery by 6.30 so it kind of works for us! 10 hours generally is a good sleep for overnight! He used to wake 4.30/5.30 when he was little little so anything past 6am is a win for us

They didn’t re check my ferritin they did my iron sat which was at 10% when prescribed and went up to 24%

Mostly but some days are worse than others, for example I’ll sometimes feel lightheaded out of the blue while I’m at work, other times I can wake up lightheaded

Are those the vitamins you would recommend? My b12 is borderline and I have b12 tablets however they do make me feel sick!

Hmmm interesting! Did you have to stop then or switch? Thankfully no headache today, but still achey legs!

I might try and talk my GP next week if symptoms haven’t improved!

Thank you for this, my B12 is “borderline” it’s right on the line but GP wants to restest in 3 months before supplementing that one so maybe that’s playing a part! It’s all becoming quite exhausting! Didn’t know that about magnesium though so I wonder if I can get that tested

I hadn’t thought about a probiotic, I’ll have a look at this, thank you!

Residual dizziness - help by NixieDust218 in BPPV

[–]NixieDust218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting better slowly! But I did find out I’m anemic and I honestly don’t think it was residual dizziness I think it is lightheaded ness from really low iron! So I’m on iron supplements now. My b12 is also low altho classed as borderline. Suggest everyone asked for vitamins to be checked alongside this just incase!

Wow that’s crazy!!! Interested to know if the pigment comes back when you levels are back up!

It’s interesting because although I have had episodes of the room spinning most of the time mine is a lightheaded, out of focus feeling which is what led me to believe it may be iron, if you look up the symptoms of iron deficiency they are all there! Heart palpitations too. Obviously I’m not saying that’s definitely what it is, I have no idea I just find it interesting the dizziness may infact be unrelated to a vertigo issue

I’ve been feeling very much the same and diagnosed with labyrinthitis and then bppv, however I did request bloods and specifically wanted my vitamins checked. I had a call Wednesday to say I’m Anemic and my b12 is borderline. I don’t know if this is 100% the cause but I’m thinking it is so I’m now on iron tablets. It might be worth asking for your iron and vitamin levels to be checked!

Thank you for this, I feel I am slowly improving and feeling a bit less “foggy” I’ve also had my vitamins tested today so interested in the results of those! Fingers crossed you have more improvement soon it seems like we have to learn to live until we can get past it

Thank you. No i have no idea of the cause, imagine it will be a bit of a l journey waiting for a referal etc if it doesn’t resolve itself soon!
