update on my family

[julychild97420]

i ended up with neaupathy due to the severe vit. deficiency i had for at least 20 years there was not a test back then and it is rare.it was so bad i was mis diagnose with a mental illness for that long i know it sounds weird but i had great people working with me and was taken totally off head meds. they are trying to help me adjust to the damage that is left.i have a household of adult males and the boys as i call them did all the housework shopping appointments and all that i was truly blessed i must have install good values in them even if i say it myself.well the boy with the car is working full time and one boy has a lot of his own stuff to do.so that left 1 boy and he is a guest in our home, he is special needs and his only parent pass away and we took him in .we known him for 13 years.it got to the point that i needed a female caregiver and i was lucky the state pays for one 6 hours a day, when she is gone he knows where the phone number is for my step mom for emergency's.i wanted to say thank you for all of you for supporting me all this time, and with a lot of work i will be walking on my own again. thank you kandy

Yes, a vitamin deficiency is more serious than I think a lot of people think. Just from my personal experience I could not live without my vitamin, although I read sometimes on the news where people don't believe in a vitamin. Just as far as labs go at the dctr. it would truly be impossible I think for me to consume enough foods and get the nutrients to pass the labs. So thankful for vitamins, lol. In fact, I probably should take more vitamins, but I do take them. I know, for example, potassium is an important vitamin among tons of others but you can get too much! Why, I'd turn into a monkey if I ate that many bananas- it would be impossible too!

Kandy!! I'm so glad you posted to let us know how things have been going for you. It sounds like it was an uphill struggle for many years, but now that you have the right diagnosis and have been working with the team, plus you have wonderful family support - things should keep on improving. I am really happy to hear your good news, and also it is so kind of you to have embraced the special needs young man as part of your household.

Doll - you made me laugh! Don't turn into a monkey...an apple a day...and not too many bananas!
