I am being prescribed Calcium by my neurologist and found out I had Anemia for the very first time. I read online that I wasn't supposed to take the 2 supplements together. Is this going to affect my Epilepsy Seizures?
Iron be for blood .. calcium be for bones.. our neurologist tell me and Jen that Vitamin D3 be mastermind to support immune system as well as bones, teeth and muscle health.. things all of us with epilepsy and other health issues be needing .. we be using Nature Made gummies .. as I be having extreme difficulty swallowing pills .. hugs and prayers from William and Jen πππ€π€ππ
I am under specialist care and have been given particular vitamin supplements for specific reasons one being iron and another being calcium. The iron supplement dosage is 1 mg and it is taken daily for my rheumatoid arthritis.
I am also taking Calcium vitamin supplement suggested by my epileptologist. The dosage of Calcium is 600 mg daily. The reasoning for taking this level is a combination to assist in helping my dairy and also to provide assistance with taking the epilepsy medications as it will coat the stomach. I also take a Vitamin D daily with the Calcium that has been suggested and prescribed by the epileptologist as it will also coat the stomach.
I take vitamin d twice a day, but I must make sure that I take it 2 hours after my anticonvulsants or before, I know it interacts causing me seizures.
I do remember being told at the hospital that I should take iron supplements. I know I tried it but it did not agree with me. I can't clearly remember but it something so I stopped takng it. I have never heard that you cannot take more than one supplement at a time. It was a few years ago but I vaguely remember taking all the supplements at the same time. I always take a handful of supplements every morning and I am okay. I think it depends on your body.
With my attacks (seizures) I tried calcium and it caused an attack to occur, iron didn't do anything but work regularly. I have temperal-lobe and the attacks only occurs 2-3 times a month. But when they do happen, I feel so unhappy, but go on with life. That's if they're light (5-25 seconds)
