vitamin d therapy----Everyone Please Read

[Guest guest]

last month i went to my annual follow-up with my neurosurgeon in ny

and my neurologist told me about how they discovered that a large

segment of the population is vitamin d deficient... .so he had my

vitamin d levels checked and of course my hydroxy d25 levels were at

16.

so anyways.... i went to a local family doctor here in chicago to

start a vitamin d therapy last thursday and he suggested that i start

by taking 50,000iu of vitamin d 3x a week for the first month then

50,000 iu units once a month thereafter.

well, since i started it right away i've had sooo much more

energy...even hyper for the first 4 days....but besides that i've

noticed that i've been getting aching pains by my sides, i guess were

my kidneys are below my rib cage along with this fluttering feeling

in the area as well..like i have butterflies in me or

something... mainly in the mornings i notice this. but this morning

however the pains were a bit worse since i've started this therapy

last thursday.

Is anyone else on a therapy and if so what are you doing and what are

your experiences? thanks i would appreciate it alot!

thanks,

p.s a bit of my medical history.....

Diagnosed in 2003 with chiari 1 malformation. ...my symptoms started

after a car accident back in 2001.

1st surgery in 2004.....decompress ion surgery for chiari with a

laminectomy at c-1 and c-2.

feb. 2007- craniocervical fusion to c-5 because of cranial

instability caused by a combination of car accident and diagnosis of

EDS

March 2007- tethered cord surgery

Also.....I'm on a diet were i stay away from milk, white flour,

wheat, corn, chocolate and sugar.

Back in 2002 i saw a chiropractor and she did fod allergy testing on

me by testing my muscle strength which is a technique in Kinesiology.

This is how i got started on this diet that i mentioned.

BTW- when i started off the sugar. white flour, wheat, corn and

especially dairy.......sinus infections disappeared, headaches

improved especially after my surgeries.

The only thing though also was that dairy gave me bone pain.

Also before i had my 1st surgery in 2004 I was given a Meyers

injection which is basically a big vitamin C shot w/ some other

vitamins in it and it helped tremendously in loosening up my muscles..

-Another thing that I discovered..... i've always been sensitive to

citric acid,,,,I would break out....I was reading on a message board

that this one guy who started vitamin d therapy said his acne

disappeared after vitamin d therapy because he found out that the

vitamin d worked in the kidneys to reduce and break down the excess

citric acid in the body...so he figured out that after a while while

being on vitamin d that the body got rid of the excess citric acid in

his body like it should happen anyways naturally and now he's acne

free....it also seems like this is the reason especially initially of

starting the vitamin d therapy he was getting these pains in his

kidneys...because his kidneys were finally processing this xtra

citric acid in his body.....and then slowly things leveled out and

the pains he got in his sides were his kidneys are stopped after a

while. I'm hoping this is what is going to happen to me also....i'm

just waiting. Also...caffeine makes me breal out also like coffee,

who knows if this will clear up also.

FINALLY..........I'm developing a theory that all my problems w/

malabsorbtion vitamin d dificiency started when i was little like

before kindergarten.....because now for some crazy reason i'm

remembering how I had such a hard time with milk..it would make me

throw up or nautious inclding with wheat.......Everyone including my

mom, doctors etc...seemed to ignore me....my constipation and stomach

cramps started around this time......and I always was sick.....sinus

infections, always on antibiotics.

I distinctly remember when i was in the 3rd grade how I started to

get cold hands and feet, how orange juice made me break out whenever

i drank it....and finally how all of a sudden I went from AP classes

in the second....to practically failing and just squeeking by in

school by the 3rd grade...THis is when my life started to change for

the worse.......again by worse i mean a slow downward spiral....where

i developed multiple health problems that no one wanted to figure out.

Boy do I feel like my parents, doctors etc... Dropped the Ball On Me

when i was little.

In my heart I know this is when my Vitamin D Deficiency started and

my health from that point onwards ....went on a slow downward spiral.

Last week I finally got blood done work to test for celiac desease as

well and it came out abnormal. So as i suspected anyways since 2002 i

have celiac desease
