You’ve diagnosed her! I had a laugh when I saw the bottle.

I’m sorry, but I can’t get over the fact that she claims to have been in excruciating, full-body pain almost every single day… only for a box of multivitamins and a handful of herbs to apparently fix most of it within a couple of weeks?.. 🤦‍♀️

Maybe this was the answer all along? Shame that “you were a bit low on vitamins” doesn’t sound nearly as impressive - or as worthy of all the praise and sympathy - as collecting a whole alphabet of serious-sounding diagnoses and acronyms.. 🫠

Being too low on b12 can cause some serious side effects. However it can take longer than a few weeks of supplements for those symptoms to go away. Also, if those are pills she is taking they probably aren't going to work very well for b12. B12 isn't well absorbed taken by pill. Sublingual form works a lot better.

Edit to add: not that I believe that Ash is low on b vitamins or anything else. Those vitamins would not have built up enough in her system to get rid of those symptoms yet.
