Hi All,
I too have a low vitamin d level along with B12 and having these corrected have made my life better. Along with having bad a reaction to direct sunlight I have learned that 20 min in the am before the sun is out in full has helped with my vit d levels.
Once again I have decided I should be called 2 cents lisa because I always have something to say, and it is only for the reason of trying to help someone and I hope that my good experiences and my bad are helpful. To me this site has been the best support site that I have had the pleasure of being a part of. The people here have so much empathy for each other that it makes me a much better person because all of you care and take the time to help others, others that we don't even know, and try to ease the pain through knowledge .
Knowledge is the key, in order for proper treatment, respect of our peers, drs, families we need to know not only what our disease is, but what our symptoms are. That is the key what needs to be done to treat our symptoms! The illness the disease the ailment may never go away, but we need to be responsible for knowing what kind of care we need in order to survive another day. There is a wealth of info at librarys and some of them have disability program where they will deliver the books and pick-up at your home. We also need to be aware of the pain and stress that our loved ones go through because it hurts them that they can't fix us, they can't make us better. If we don't know what we need to make us feel better how are they supposed to. Even if they are angry, rude, ****** off we are the ones that are responsible for letting them know that we are too, and its ok, but hey what can we do to make it better. What are your needs, these are my needs. There has to be a middle ground, if one is not capable of giving 100% what can we do that will satisfy both. We all have to be flexible. Example: I can't cook dinner and clean up and do the dishes and still have energy to spend with you, but is it ok if we use the crock pot, paper plates? If you think about it that frees up time, energy and deflates stress and everyone is a winner. another ie: You know I can look my best everyday, but I will let you know when I can take the time to look my best, it just might be when i don't have to spend 2 hours cooking and another hour cleaning up.
Just remember we are our own agents, our own managers we are superwoman and men still in our minds, but our bodies just take a little bit longer getting there don't give up, we still want to live and be loved!
And we are all worth spell check here on sharepost because lord knows i need it.
