Okay, look--here's my theory: I suffer from vitamin D deficiency. I can't figure anything else out. My doctor is too stupid to figure it out and won't refer me, so I'm getting some backdoor advice. One month to the day after my April 11th bout, I went under again. These lost weeks are running into lost seasons. I'm tired. I'm confused. I'm concerned.
So, I started looking at where I live now, in the darkish northland, in the perpetual gray of Portland, and began looking at the literature on old people who are now being prescribed mega-doses (50,000 iu/wk) for depression, immune deficiency, ongoing flu-like symptoms, fall risk, etc etc etc and I thought, hey. I'm indoors all day with old people. I'm old people almost. I'm old enough. I get the mailers from aarp for crying out loud. So, this nurse starts talking about D and how new research is showing how depleted we are in the NW and then, just as we are talking about it, an email pops up from this health nut scientologist friend of mine, and its about D and I think: hey. Synchronicity. You don't have to hit me over the head with a brick.
So I bought some good, high-dose vitamin D. All of the antibiotics aren't working very well.
I'm sick of being sick. I'm sick of talking about being sick and I'm betting you're sick of reading about my being sick. sickening.
You have my apologies. I'll stop soon. I got this card for my ex once that said, "Remember all the trouble I've caused you?" you open it up and inside it said, "I'm almost done."
So, I'm almost done. I'm done.

Ugh, I am not sick of hearing about you being sick, but I am sorry to hear that you are sick again. Vitamin D is a good place to start. I have a fancy full-spectrum light box that I have not used in years if you want to borrow it for awhile.
that light box is supposed to really help. my friend takes D injections. swears by them. i take 1000 mg. well not exactly but they are in my cabinet. really, he actually picked that card? that's hilarious. hope the D is it.
