Status: offline 		Up until about a little over a year ago, i hardly ever became sick, maybe a cold, but nothing i had to call in work for and i never took vitamins.  Since i started taking vitamins daily this past year, i've never been sick so many times!!!  This is my 2nd bout of laryngitis in 2 months, i've been bedridden w/terrible URI's (ie colds), i've had the flu, hospitalized w/pneumonia....GOOD GRIEF!!! What's the damn point?!?!?!

**Patting hair down****Ok, i've vented....thanks for "listening"

I hope you feel better!!!

Thank you, sirsholly. i don't think it's a medical condition...i think that all those that know me got together and used all of their 3 wishes after finding the proverbial genie in a bottle that i lose my voice!  Damn genie!

No, i'm at the same job, same home PLUS i don't take public transportation! AND i use paper towels to open the bathroom doors when i'm done :((( Granted, i don't do that on ALL door handles, but i just can't figure out why i get sick so often ever since i started the vitamins ;(((  Oh well, at least my hair is thicker!!

Edited to add that it was so funny on Sat when i was riding a particularly scary roller coaster, i tried to scream and all i could do was "squeak"!

i had to laugh at this. I told a friend about the pineapple juice trick when she lost her voice. It worked, and her husband still has not forgiven me.

As to the vitamins..i am certainly no expert but.i cannot think of any way they could decrease your immune system. It seems that anyone i know that has had a cold lately, myself included, has had a very difficult time getting rid of it.

Status: offline 		I had exactly the same reaction to supplements. I think I must have an unknown allergy to one or more of the vitamins.

I believe it is much better to adjust the diet to one well balanced and forget the multivitamins.

OR…. Rather then the multi type try individual supplements and see how your body reacts.

Personally I think vitamins are a racket unless you have a medical problem that requires a supplement.
