Low Vitamin D


Recommended Posts

If your doctor recommends you take a vitamin D supplement, then take one.  

 

I don't know where you are, but in my area (north-east USA) vitamin D deficiency is common during the winter, we don't get enough sun.

 

I had to look up CRP, since I know nothing about it.  Something I've noticed, if you looked it up on WebMD or similar sites, they'll tell you ANYTHING could be cancer.  Seriously, I was looking up elbow pain I got from shoveling snow, and one of the possible causes of sore elbows was cancer.

 

Like Suited Hippy said, get some sun (or take vitamin D if you need to), talk to your doctor, and have pancakes.  Substitute waffles if you prefer.

I had a recently diagnosed vitamin D deficiency, possibly aggravating my sore joints and muscles. A simple supplement can fix that. As for CRP, it's a generic marker of inflammation, which can mean almost anything.

I used to read up everything on any symptom I had, and it just made everything worse. Relax, and have the aforementioned breakfast delights.

Step one: Go outside with exposed skin in the sun. (for the D)

Step two: Talk to your doctor, not randoms on the internet. Nothing will convince you that you are dying faster than looking up your symptoms on the internet. 

Step three: Pancakes.

 

Pancakes?  :huh:

Protein Pancakes? :blink:

Most doctors recommend that people in the area Suited Hippy and I live in take a Vitamin D supplement. We get a lot of cloud cover here. Although  this next week of sunshine should draw the white bodies into the light... I guess  some people find a supplement easier than stepping outside for a few minutes a day  :rolleyes:

Echoing this.  The sky is not falling.  Talk to your doctor.  I know my mom is Vitamin D deficient and takes a supplement for it.  If that's no necessary/recommended by your doctor, go outside and get some sun.  

 

Also, pancakes are awesome.
