<People had mentioned the TWINLABS A & D -- What about Vitamin K and E??? Do

you take extra supplements for these? I think they are significantly less

than ADEKS and I'd like to keep a three month supply on hand or something.

Also, I'm using Chromagen Forte liquid iron, but would like to keep some

cheaper Iron substitutes on hand in case of emergency... Anyone have any

suggestions?????? Same for multis -- does anyone know of a relatively cheap

multi that I could stock up on??????? >

Hi ,

My doctor's nutritionist said that we should be able to get enough K and E

from the multi vitamins so I take 2 Theragram M's and 2 Allergy A & D.

Theragram M is fairly inexpensive and are good vitamins. I usually stock up

when they are on sale, this week 130 for $4.99 at CVS.

Many thanks for your kind thoughts and sentiments, . Between

Wednesday and Sunday, I passed a total of 12 stones, some of them the

size and shape of a Rice Krispy. But, I am OK now.

I saw the urologist yesterday. He will call me once the chemical

analysis of the stones comes back, but he is willing to bet that they

are calcium oxalate. He says that the best thing that I can do to

ward off future stone formation is to drink lots and lots more water

every day.

Reads like you two have had a meeting of the minds--and possibly

other anatomical parts, too! Great news!

Fantastic! My next goal is to break 300. Then I'll start salivating

over the psospects of joining the 100 club. But as for you, go,

girl, go!

I got CVS house brand of Iron Fumarate. I believe it takes 5 tablets

to equal what you get in one tablet of Chromagen Forte, but, heck,

it's fairly cheap.

I also take CVS multi's. I forget which, of many. But, I think that

I opted for the old-folks ( " seniors " ) choice because of the added

minerals. They go on sale periodically, and I stock up.

Be well and prosper, ,

Steve
