Well as I have posted before, my levels were so low that my Dr. ran the test three times the first time we found the level to be between 4 and 9, when a low level is 25. So, to say the least we check my levels every six weeks now, and the only that gets my levels up just a little is a vitamin D3 shot.  Here is an article that you may like to read, about why vitamin D is so important.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
