Ok folks. I know I’m getting old… I take lots of medicine. I have to have a daily container to keep track… and… when I forget to take my womens vitamins and my Glucosamine and Chondroitin and MSM, my body hurts. Though they say that stuff doesn’t really make a difference, I’m living proof that it does. Oh my do I ache if I forget it for 2 days… Like say… Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning is a long haul to get this body to move out of bed… and with my new temp job, I have to move. Ok ok… I have to move because I need to get my kids to school but the thought of not being able to come back and stretch and walk is daunting. Instead you will find me today in front of a computer for hours on end. I can do it, but it is harder than it was 10 years ago. Yep… it will probably make for blog fodder as I talk about falling upstairs because I can’t lift my feet. 
More as the week progresses… bet I remember my vitamins all week now!

I couldn’t resist. For those wondering what I do take it is: Ester-C (per my immunologist), MSM and glucosamine (per my doctor for my mild arthritis), and I added a daily woman’s vitamin. What the heck. I have considered changing it to one of those anti aging vitamin types… see if it would make all my problems go away. Or at least my wrinkles. Seems Bou doesn’t want to look like a Shar-Pei dog that I mentioned in my previous Post. Neither do I, but I see wrinkles more and more every day. Just look at my elbows and between my eyes. Sigh…

Seems that the more I learn the less I know. If you take calcium, you should be taking the half the amount in magnesium. And you shouldn’t take more than 400mg of calcium at a shot… but you should be getting 1000mg of calcium if you are my size per day. Ugh… I don’t eat enough to get that much. I am overweight as it is… But I need to have calcium.. sigh..
I have been taking a woman’s daily vitamin but joked with my mom about I should go back to prenatal vitamins. Then my sister called me yesterday and told me she is taking them. She needs them. She has deficiencies. And my sister eats the right stuff… not like me. Makes me wonder if it runs in our family. Getting old sucks.

Do you remember taking prenatal vitamins? I loved those things. Wish I could get them over the counter. The ones I had prescribed to me made me feel great… or maybe it was the pregnancy. All I know is that the stuff I take now makes my stomach turn even when I look at them. Old age has caught up because I take MSM, Glucosamine, Ester-C, Woman’s vitamin…. trust me, I know when I miss my MSM and Glucosamine. My back and hips kill me. Then again, if I lost 15 pounds it would help tremendously. Wonder what my kids will be like in their 40s? In shape, slightly out of shape or overweight? Only time will tell.
