It's been awhile......

I hope all who read or follows are doing well! I have been battling fatigue and bone pain.......why??

Another area that our medical field needs education! Vitamin D!! With feeling so fatigued my mother insisted I have my Vitamin D level checked. I never even knew we had a blood test for this or that it needed to be monitored.

I am very deficient, now taking 50,000U per week for 8 weeks. I have been on the dosage for 4 weeks and am now noticing that the severe bone aching is nearly gone! Still very angry that I had to ask for the test!

I am trying to read everything I can about Vitamin D and my goodness........it answers so many questions about the chronic fatigue, deep muscle and bone aches! But it does not answer WHY. Why do our doctors not test this more?

In finding this out, on my own! I have had to do another search. For a new PCP! Why? Because his office missed........my Thyroid, Lymes and now D Deficiency. WHY? I have been with him since 1995 and I feel my investment into his practice cost me years of my own health.

January 1, 2008 I promised myself that by September 2008 I would have my CM addressed....missed by a few weeks but I got there! Now for 2009! I will find the right PCP that will care for me and my family.

I am waiting for a new PCP before I further investigate what if any damage has been caused by being Vitamin D Deficient. I will have a bone density test done.

When I got my lab results I called my Endocrinologist, she wants me in HER office for the follow up blood work, informed me with my levels being that low I should be taking the 50,000U weekly for life! I trust her! She will monitor this.

My other promise for 2009 is to make sure my whole family gets tested. Tested for all 3....Lymes, Thyroid and D.

My advice is for anyone with nerve pain.....get your Vitamin/Mineral levels checked.
