Have you been checked for being annemic? I was and was told to start taking iron pills. Next day my afternoon fatigue was gone. Couldn't believe it. Maybe it was a considence or maybe it was the iron helping. Something to consider asking about if you don't know. Good luck.

Yes, good advice. I take both as well because they have been consistently low.

@jillnc, Jill, thanks for jumping in .. had not thought of that! The antibiotics can do different thing to our bodies .. also Jo .. vitamins make a difference .. another note I made:
VITAMIN LEVELS .. TESTING RECOMMENDED FOR 1. Ask for your VD-3 level to be checked .. they can get too low. Speak to your Doctor first .. but I took: NATURE MADE brand 5,000 IU of Vitamin D-3 (NOT VD) *From our member @tdrell Terri, my Primary Dr at NJH doubled the VD I take to 4000 units a day... my lab test showed I was at 50 and she said she likes to see it at 100.
2. Ask for your B-12 level to be checked .. they can get too low
3. Personally I always purchase the brand Nature Made vitamins for it's quality .. ' Nature Made is the first brand to earn the USP Verified Mark on one of its products, an independent certification for quality and purity.'
Hugs to you ! Katherine
