i switched my coffee for a B complex gummy in the AM and a B12+D after lunch. It’s been working gangbusters for my mood. Probably too much B vitamins but idgaf
Check whats in you B complex, if B6 is a high dosage you should check in with your doctor, prolonged intake of high B6 doses can cause minor nerve damage.
While you’re at it let them check your potassium levels, too much Vitamin D can lead to drastic Potassium levels which can cause health problems. At least in Germany the blood work for both is about 25€ and you tune your dose to what’s safe :)
It’s probably safe but some people metabolize those vitamins differently and the tests are quick and simple.
I wish I lived in a developed nation where I could just “go get blood work done” for a nominal fee or be able to afford to care about long term effects instead of surviving day to day. Not sarcastic, I legit wish that
I feel for you, sometimes I forget to be appreciative for things like this.
The whole thing was as uncomplicated as it can be. I was at the doctor’s for a regular checkup, during the little interview I mentioned I was taking vitamin d to alleviate the symptoms of almost no sunlight during the winter (working nights), she then explained the vitamin d - potassium relation and took some blood to check. I got the results a couple days later via email and that was that. As it was during a regular checkup it was also free of charge.
It’s awesome to be in a place where I don’t even have to actively seek out that kind of medical attention. I got an email reminding me of the checkup with some possible appointments, I clicked on one, two weeks later I mention the vitamin d in passing and it gets tested in a timely manner for free. Easy as that. I had bowel movements more complicated than that.
My father grew up in (West) Germany, and I studied German as a child (Hallo! Ich bin MnemonicBump und ich komme aus America woher kommst du?, etc, etc), and I really wanted to move to Hamburg when I was a teen. But it turns out that your country doesn’t want an undereducated neurotic American, so alas, I’m stuck here.
Yeah, most of the EU prefers their immigrants to have real skills they want, like Medical Doctors, PhD holders, and be on the younger side to provide all the tax revenue they can get.
But they aren’t really in need of low skill workers. And it doesn’t matter where you come from. They got all the neurotic home-grown waiters they need.
But migrant workers have always been a thing. Doing the lowest paying jobs with no security or care. Things like hoeing fields or handpicking tomatoes. Are you willing to travel from one job to another doing backbreaking work for little pay?
Perhaps not. But a PhD is indicative of highly specialized knowledge, like mathematics, engineering, or physics. All knowledge sets that are highly prized by nations around the world.
I can play 25 different instruments, record and produce music at a professional level, I can direct photography for motion pictures, write television news copy, code in 5(ish) different languages, mill lumber from raw timber, pickle, dry, can, and gernally preserve food, gut and fillet SO MANY different types of fish, build structures out of earthen building material, I can wire photovoltaic panels in series or parallel and am familiar with both 12v and 24v systems, and I can do pretty much anything to a car that doesn’t require a lift or a hoist.
But are any of those special without the little paper that says you can do them?
Edit: And as of last year, I can spin yarn from raw fibers, weave fabrics from that yarn, and sew clothes from pattern from that cloth.
I own a small manufacturing company but god damn the eu acts like they only want major corpos with awful labor practices or poor people that don’t even speak their language to immigrate.
You’re smug now but those corpos will eat you next 💗
Huh. I do a B12 (missing the absorbtive parts) every other day and it’s not that noticeable now that my b levels are right. I wonder if I take a bit more…
vitamin b is water soluble so any excess is just getting peed out, so you’re safe there. the ones you gotta look out for are a, d, and e. those are all fat should’ve and can build up inside you body and eventually cause issues

Don’t you take plenty of low skill workers from other regions?
Not if Trump has his way.

Medical Doctors sure, but c’mon. Education level is not indicative of any real life skill
Perhaps not. But a PhD is indicative of highly specialized knowledge, like mathematics, engineering, or physics. All knowledge sets that are highly prized by nations around the world.
Waiters need not apply…
What is your thing against waiters? Do you believe that they contribute less to society than someone who has a PhD in sociology or some bs?
so which special skills do you have?

I’m a raging alcoholic so i need the extra Bs

Do they have caffeine too though? It seems like the B vitamin + caffeine combo is very common.
