Out of control UPDATE

[Nerja2012]

Hi again.I posted a few days ago about my having a severe chest infection and exacerbation of Asthma , I was worried because the recovery was taking so long, just feeling wiped out all the time, dizzy and shaky.

Well thanks to my brilliant GP who ordered a whole bunch of blood tests I found out today that my Vit D levals are very low , the rang is 50 to 100 and mine are 20, I'm now on Meds for 3 months then back for more bloods WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS SO SIMPLE.

I want to thank each and every one of you that took the time to reply to my post, it was really appreciated ☺️ x

I wish they’d do tests for vitamins and minerals perhaps annually, they make so much difference when they’re out of kilter. Throw in a chronic illness, medications and infections, and we’re on an uphill struggle all the way. It’s a fine balance, and something a little awry can make it all go wrong!🙄.

I hope your Vit D supplementation helps and you get to feeling a bit more normal soon 💐

Thank you beech.I have known for many months that something wasn't right , I take vitamin supplements but Vit D never entered my head as I have a very healthy diet and life style and thought I had it covered, it will take a while but thankfully on the right track now and yes your right , vitamin and mineral tests should be included.
