Placebo effect

So its been a couple of weeks since I stopped taking my vitamins....
Do I feel any different ?  Not really sure is the truthful answer....
My elbow was really painful 3 or 4 days after I stopped!!!

 My husband assured me it was all psychological.... ( err thanks for the advice, but it dosnt feel psychological...its feels more physical !!!! ) ðŸ˜‰

at the moment it dosnt feel too bad
I did come down with a nasty bug ...and I really felt so ill...
which I suppose I could say was because I hadnt been taking my vitamins and zinc ( good for immune )  And there's more..
my skin looks really crap just now ( no zinc!!... good for skin and hair )
yes I know its only been 2 weeks and I know thats probably not enough of a test

Psychological?    who knows... 
is it the placebo effect:
Sometimes a person can have a response to a placebo. The response can be positive or negative. For instance, the person's symptoms may improve. Or the person may have what appears to be side effects from the treatment. These responses are known as the "placebo effect." 

So do I start taking them again...I'm thinking yes

Vitamin tablet...break

so under duress I have agreed to give the vitamin tabs a break!!!!


Image result for no vitamin tabs

I have probably been taking some kind of vitamin tablets for the last 5/6 years

  • cod liver oil capsules ( thought thiss may help with joints etc )
  • iron tablets ( cus I was feeling tired all the time and some blood tests showed I was slightly low )
  • multi vitamin ( because I did lol )
  • more recently glaucosamine ( I read it was better for joints, and I have been having a lot of trouble with my left elbow )
my husband reckons they are a waste of money and that was reinforced when a programme came on saying much the same

so we will see...if all my aches and pains come back...I'm killing the husband

And then he will have some aches and pains
