Comments on: Sun Cream damaged my health! – By Anne Summers http://www.mamapacks.eu/2010/07/sun-cream-damaged-my-health-by-anne/ Wed, 03 Nov 2010 12:44:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anne Summers http://www.mamapacks.eu/2010/07/sun-cream-damaged-my-health-by-anne/comment-page-1/#comment-546 Anne Summers Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:10:51 +0000 http://www.mamapacks.eu/?p=1287#comment-546 I have been taking the Vit D for over three months and I am just starting to notice a difference, for instance, today I manage to reverse my car whilst actually looking over my shoulder, previously I had not been able to move my spine and neck enough to look around properly, I only hit one van and a few walls but it was enough to knock my confidence when driving. I couldn't understand how I had managed to to become so stiff and have so much joint pain at such a young age. If you suspect you are Vit D deficient then discuss with your GP and ask for a blood test because too much Vitimin D can be dangerous. before my test results came back I looked for Vitimin D and couldn't find any with any decent amount of Vitimin D in them, I got some Osteocare vitimins but they were like horse pills and i couldn't swallow them. The Vit D i take now is chewable and you need to take care with combining them with certain foods and drinks, tea beaing one of the things you can't take them with. My Gp told me it would take around 4 months before i started to feel better and the improvement has occured this past week, although I am a long way from being well. A week in abroad made some difference. I also work indoors and where I live, there seems to be a lack of sun every year - looking back, I can see now why i have become so deficient but I had no idea it could be caused by a deficiency. After the GP had told me what she suspected i did lots of research on the net and everything fell into place, right down to the weight gain. My thyroid tests had alwasy come back normal BUT it wasn't my thyroid that was affected, just the way that it functioned and loosing weight whilst Vit D deficient is almost impossible - I had to starve to loose any weight and was constantly miserable, its not loosing weight that is the big issues, its managing the weight gain - eating a normal diet was impossible because i just gained LB's and Lbs. I have lost over a stone since taking the Vit D and am now loosing 1LB a week just by eating what i want - no effort required. This is because my thyroid is now starting to fuinction properly. There are so many symptoms attached too - chronic fatigue is common, there are so many sypmtoms and these increase as you become more deficient. I have to have my bloods taken again this week to see what my levels are, I know they have risen but they will be nowhere what they need to be just yet. The main thing is, I now know what is wrong with me and that alone made me feel so much better!

Being I work inside most of the time. Do you think that vit D tabs will have enough vitD in them to make up for this . Also how long before you feel a bit better ? Great article BTW I think this may be one of my issues thinking about it . Being I work inside most of the time. Do you think that vit D tabs will have enough vitD in them to make up for this . Also how long before you feel a bit better ?

Great article BTW
