Vit. D is low
Hey My Sweet Betsy.....
Ms. Susie Q is absolutely right..... Vitamin D kicks my arse too....
My mom calls me every other day to make sure that I have sat in the sunshine on my porch.... I have to keep reminding my mom (I am 46 years old by the way) (some things never change..) any who... that I live in Middle Tennessee and not in Texas and that it has been dark here since last October and I tell her I just do no understand why in the world that we can not hibernate like the bears????LOL
God lets bears go to sleep in the fall early winter and lets them wake up after Spring time?? Why oh Why can we not be like the bears????

Thank you so much Susan...I so appreciate you sharing your wisdom!!! I had never thought about the sun exposure and doing everything indoors...that make so much sense.
Just curious...how did you know to check a vit d level prior to surgery...were you having some type of symptoms?
Thanks so much!

About 2 1/2 years ago my PCP attended a seminar on vitamin D. That is where I got the info about doctors finding the deficiency to be more widespread than in prior years/generations. He began routinely checking vit D levels on all of his patients as part of the bloodwork done at each visit. He was very surprised to learn just how many of his patients were deficient.
My husband has also had to take the prescription strength vit D. His levels weren't as low as mine because he spends more time outdoors with his job. His usually drops during the winter and is fine the rest of the year.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
