My husband and I take multivitamins now every day. I had taken them years ago and got out of the habit. I got back into the habit of a daily multivitamin when I became alarmed at the high costs of healthcare for my husband.
He was feeling fatigued everyday, so off to the doctor. Instead of asking my husband about his diet, he was sent to the hospital for amazingly expensive tests for which we had no insurance. The doctor was not alarmed, just unsure why he was fatigued.
I was surfing the net and found someone who mentioned they had been fatigued every day, just like my husband. This person took a multivitamin daily and felt better. I did some more research and found that my husband had all the symptoms of someone suffering a slight deficiency in several vitamins. He diets all the time, Atkins, any new diet, and I realized he really needed more vitamins and minerals to supplement his diet.
We now both take multivitamins daily. I figured it can’t hurt me and the health benefits can’t be argued with. I wish his doctor had thought to ask about his diet before sending him for all these unnecessary and very expensive tests. A good multivitamin was all he needed to get his body functioning normally and to lessen his fatigue.
