Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi, My mom has been through the ringer this summer. It all started with a bad fall that she went to the ER about. I wasn't there and she can't believe that vaccines are bad and totally trusts the system. Anyway, she had a small scrape that didn't even bleed and they convinced her to get a tetnus!!! The nurse actually told her you never know what is in asphalt these days and it's better to be safe than sorry!!! Anyway, she had three skull fractures and her hand was fractured. That was three months ago and she has since broke her toe and now her other hand! For the past 56 years she had never had a broke bone until 3 months ago! The DR called her today with results from blood tests and said that her Vit D is a 5, which is extremely low. My question is what could cause this??? and what to do to correct it??? She spends ALOT of time outside (on average 4 hours/day) and does not use sunscreen. Could the tetnus have cause her this problem? She was prescribed a pain pill but it made her sick, so she took probably 8-10 tylenols or asprin per day for about 2 months (apparently it is very painful to break your cheek bone and skull). Could that have done it? It is really bothering me that the DR doesn't seem concerned at the cause, just prescribed a script of Vit D. I am worried, so any insight on the cause or ways to fix it would be VERY appreciated!! Thank you so much for reading this!
