Vitamins, vitamins everywhere!

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.

That vitamin D is seriously good stuff. I'm black Irish, so I get my doses the old-fashioned way--but yeah, it's good for what ails you.

Enough B is really good too, and I'm starting to learn more about some of the rest. It's amazing, but health really IS related to nutrition. Who'd'a thunk it? :-)
