Why yes, I am a very pale woman who avoids sunlight because I burn so darn fast. I even work indoors all day. Why yes, I throw up when I eat fish and seafood. Why yes, I am mildly lactose-intolerant and do not drink a lot of milk.

I am now on 5000 IU of vitamin D per day, and after a couple of weeks, I'll want to maintain at 3000 IU/day.

Guess what vitamin D deficiency can cause. Guess. Remember all the agony I was going through with dietary sodium? Vitamin D deficiency can cause high blood pressure! Heh.

So now that's five little pills for D and one annoying injection of B12. There's hope that I can stop the B12 in a month or so... unless my feet spontaneously heal, in which case, bring on the needles.

I'm not sure how much is 10000 units. RDA is about 1 tablespoon of yeast, which is probably about 2-3 beers, so probably too much to have daily.

Ah, right. If my IU/microgram conversion is correct (1:0.025 for B12), and if I'm remembering my dosage right, I'm currently taking one hundred times that amount.

That would be a lot of beer.

Got the taste for vegemite? ;)
