Low Vitamin D Levels

It has been a while since I have posted and I am sorry that I have not posted in such a long time. Between work and not sleeping that much, my time for thinking or writing has been short. I love my job (was promoted in January to Managing Director of our company) and it has been a lifesaver and also the thing that may have made my Fibro worst. But with out work, I am not sure where I would be today, because that is what keeps me sine and gets me up each morning. In February I was even in hospital because I needed help with pain management. I think it also had to do with two very long trips to the US in less than three weeks that did not help, but I now have two wonderful Doctors that are trying there best to help me. It seems that I am not that easy, and we are at a lost with what to do next.

One thing I think we have learned is that when my Vit D starts to get low, my pain and problems get much worst. So we are checking my levels every six weeks, and if I need injections, I get them. My muscles feel like they have a death grip on my body, and nothing will loosen them up. For the last month, I have survived by going once or twice a week for massages. The poor therapist has tried so hard to get the muscles to relax, and it is hard work for them, without getting the muscles to relax.

Since my Vit D shot about six weeks ago, the muscles have let go of the death grip (thank goodness) and now it is just regular Fibro pain. I am also very tired that it has been hard to even get out of bed. It is nice to be able to sleep, but I need to work as well . The Vit D check is this week, for the six weeks, and we will see how the levels are then.
