Vitamins, vitamins everywhere!

[cjsmith]

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.

Ok, I give up. is the vitamin D and the tests and the vitamin B12 related to your NYC visit or some other new medical issue?

D is by my local doc who was wondering why I have high blood pressure. (Well, besides the fact that I am now a couch potato.) B12 is by a different local doc who thinks B might somehow help my feet.

Switching docs always means a big pile of this kind of thing. *sigh*. At least the guy with the D seems to be spot on. We'll see about the B.

I'm also working my way through a handful of tests the NYC doc wanted me to get done locally. Some days I'm annoyed that I have this job thing, because it keeps interfering with stuff I need to get done! :)

Ah, thanks.

Vit. B seems to be the cure for everything these days.
