When you think about it, our body went through quite a trauma. Bad enough we had to go through major surgery but when you factor in that for a few months, we're on a seriously low calorie intake, what we do consume is hardly a balanced diet - it's surprising that we don't all have your problem.

Glad to hear that you're on top of your vitamins but you might want to consider adding 500mg vitamin C and maybe a low dose zinc. But check with your doc first.
Thanks, Corrine. It is just frustrating because I finally felt good enough to start exercising last week and got in three good workouts. Now I'm down again. I think I have strep. I have all the symptoms of strep. Yuck! I'll see if I can get some more C down tonight. It hurts to swallow. My menu today has been a fruit (protein) smoothie and SF pudding.
