I've had a rough spring. I have had progressive weakness of my legs, pain and extreme fatigue. I've been run through the battery of tests, and they have discovered I'm severely vitamin D deficient[causes bone softening, muscle weakness and muscle and bone pain]It seems that even though I take vit D, I'm on cholesterol lowering meds, and many of those block the absorption of vitamin D. For any people out there on cholesterol lowering meds be aware of that, because I went through a lot of tests and scary "possibilities"[like "It may be MS !"] before I found out what it is.Low Vit D increases your chances of developing certain cancers, and increases your risk of serious heart disease. Im taking two supplements, and they tell me that it will be at least 6-8 weeks before I feel better, but I feel better already just knowing what it is. Anyway, Ive not done much painting or anything else because of this, but I hope to be feeling better soon, and back to doing my same old thing.
