No official lymes diagnosis yet, but getting there with an appointment soon as I suspect lymes. Right now just treating Hepatitis B. Have been taking some supplements to help along the way. Anyone have any suggestions? These are my daily doses:

Ensure COMPLETE drink

Vitamin D - 20,000 IU  (I had a SEVERE diffiency.... almost death bed like)

Vitamin K2 w MK-4 and MK-7 - 1,000mcg

Vitamin C - 1,000-1,5000mcg

Zinc - 50mg

Magnesium - 250mg

B-12 - 1,000mcg

One A Day Adult Vitamin

The Vitamin C and increased D was a recent add on. Only about a week and I'm starting to feel a difference. My magensium levels are apparently within normal range so I take this as a maintenance dose.

Luckyman - It might be a good idea to get your Vit. D levels retested soon. I'm saying this because I was just below the normal range - insufficient - not quite deficient. And I retested a couple months later and I was at the top end of the normal.
I was taking 2000-4000 daily. So, for me it came up quickly.

You're a lot lower so it may take awhile...but I think you shouldn't wait too long to test again.

Your zinc supplement looks high to me - especially if you're doing it long term. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in on that one.

Thanks, girlie. The big reason for the increase is due to the Hepatitis B. People with Hep B, especially when treated, need a lot more than "normal" people without it. When I got tested, my level was at 14. 4 more points and I was in hospital.

Since it's getting fall/winter, I need an increase from 10,000 daily. As for the zinc, 50 mg was the lowest amount I was able to find in the store.... boosting my immune system with a possible co-infection of Lymes and Hep B is probably not a bad thing.
