So I've been waiting for some blood work to come back. I found out at a pharmacy dinner for my new work, that patients with low vitamin D and various myalgia's like fiber myalgia and what I have, often get signifcantly better after being bombarded with Vitamin D. So I got excited, and asked my doctor to test me, hoping that it would be low because while it's super bad for your energy levels and your bones, it may really help my pain if I get it up. Any number under 30 is treatable. They like your numbers to be between 30-100, with a target of about 70. My number was 12. Which is bad. Luckily the fix is a $3 over the counter jar of vitamin D suppliment, and going outside with out sunscreen in the summer! I'm so excited to start the vitamin D and I really hope it helps! One day, I will drive, and write with my hands...although most of the time, in private, I'll probably still write with my elbow!
I think it's crazy that over 20 specialists can't figure this out, but me and my family doctor are kickin it's butt!
