Vitamin D Deficiency

Well found out that now I have a  Vitamin D deficiency.  So I have to take a vitamin d pill once a week for eight weeks then one capsule a month... But after the first eight weeks I have to go redo the lab work to see if my vitamin d level is going back up.  Mine is 20...they would like for it to be between 30-100.  So, it's not too too low but low enough that they are aware of it.  The doctors say that because of things such as calcium not being able to let my body absorb the vitamin d due to a reason as simple as me not getting enough calcium.. But, when drinking milk makes me sick to my stomach I tend to not drink it as much as I should.  I can't take a multivitamin due to it making me want to vomit.  so it's a one day at a time process.. it's the simple little things that we don't really think about until it's a "WOW really" moment.  The doctors say that eating things like fish and sunlight can help raise vitamin d levels.. There are other things also.. But, being raised in the South I told my husband that I should have enough vitamin d in my body to last a life time....lol.. But, I do know this for sure.... getting old sucks...lol... Thank God that he's going to get us through all these trying times...

The devil isn't going to win any battle against my family...

God Bless
