Does anyone know? Could my vitamin D & iron deficiency have caused the 20 years of crippling pain I had before taking a multivitamin +4k iu/day of D?

Without vitamins, I'm short of breath after minor daily activity, inflamed, aching to my BONES, stiff, and my colon is ON FIRE and, to be blunt, not cooperating.

But blood tests have NEVER spotted low iron & low D is "new" within the last 3 years. I've been trying to chase this down since 2000 ish, my energy took a nosedive after I tore my meniscus in 1998 and developed tendinitis after. And I've gradually been collecting more inflammatory issues since.

"Chronic Fatigue" was a new term around then and one they didn't want to diagnose me with, they just shrugged when I didn't line up perfectly with Rheumatoid Arthritis or Fibromyalgia. I ticked a lot of the boxes, but didn't go past the "threshold for diagnosis." They were just like, eat right and take your antidepressants.

That's never been enough. But going on a multivitamin (WITH IRON) seems to have been the tipping point. The high doses of D helped (50k iu/week wore off in 3 days, so I took 4k a day and WOW hi awake now), but I was still getting anemia and fatigue and constant soft tissue and tendon pain.

Those nearly disappeared until the doc took me off vitamins for surgery prep :\ Now OMG I'M ON FIRE AND STIFF AGAIN.

It would honestly be nice, in a way, if most of my chronic pain, inflammation, and fatigue turns out to be "you just need vitamins & sleep, let's fix your sinuses, here's a pill."

But it will be UNSATISFYING after a flare up & $$$$ bill

(uterus is still trying to kill me, the vitamins didn't tame it.)

For extra context, because who knows what counts? Maybe y'all do, the docs don't... Anyway. My fingernails have minor ridges along the length, and twist a bit (they look like broad side-bent shovels if I let them grow out). And I have tinnitis, chronic depression, anxiety, ADHD, possibly autistic and bipolar. And was super flexible til all this inflammation turned me into a board. (Not double jointed or anything though.) Just uh. Hi Chronic Illness Tumblr, you know more than Google. Help? XD Thyroid checks out fine, btw, but my liver and kidneys are sus.

my gf’s med school curriculum is teaching to not give people in the emergency room with vitamin deficiencies due to alcohol complete iv vitamins (a “banana bag”) but rather just thiamine & saline.

this can be an issue for people experiencing alcohol-induced vitamin deficiencies and also potentially for people who may get mistaken for being drunk due to disabilities (such as ataxia).

the idea is that it’d be wasting money to y’know actually fucking treat addicts because the issue may reoccur. policy ofc varies by institution but just be aware if you or someone you know suspect vitamin deficiencies

Symptoms suddenly worsen for no apparent reason? It might be worth checking your vitamin D and B12 levels. Learn a little about the symptoms and how they can even mimic lupus.

Talk to your healthcare providers if these symptoms are bothering you and see if this could be contributing!

So apparently in Alaska it is not recommended but a requirement to take vitamin D supplements (or foods high in vitamin D) because despite the long summer hours, we still don't get the D. Why? Because of how far north we are and the angle of the earth, the sun's ultraviolet B rays pass right over us. Idk if it's true or not, but that would explain a few things.

Oh I remembered when my vitamin d3 level got tested at the hospital. Yeah. They were like so we would like to see like a level of 60 so we’re putting you on a supplement. I asked my level. And. Oof. I was at 3. Yeahhhhhh. I definitely had a deficiency.

That was three years ago. I still take a very high amount daily. Because if I don’t my level drops significantly.

Oh and they gave me a b12 shot. I was deficient in that too

Vampires visited (read: Bloodwork done, to my dismay. But I got one of the cute nurses I love seeing and she was sweet to me again so that made up for it a little until my Husband started talking about food- and them my Stomach started trying to eat itself in the middle of the blood draw).

Coffee obtained (read: Husband bribed me to see the Vampires by promising to take me to our favorite new local Coffee Shop, and delivered; I got myself a London Fog with Lavender, and some Biscuits and Gravy).

Now it's time for his Doctor's appointment. Then we gotta pick up his new meds eventually (because this appointment is to switch his anxiety meds because he doesn't like the current one). And then with any luck we're hopefully going to the Humane Society to see about meeting some of the Cats we have picked out from their website.

I like to think of life as a trade: you give your body food, it gives you energy

Unfortunately, my body is a loan shark. It demands medicine but won't tell me what type or how much, and everyday that I don't provide it my joints get crunchier. What hell is this?

“Is Your Diet A Thief?” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 15, 1933. Page 10, --- Is Deficiency The Robber Stealing Your Strength Vigor and Resistance? --- A diet deficient in certain elements that the human body needs is a thief no less than a hold-up man is a thief For example a diet deficient in Vitamin A robs the body of vigor lowers resistance and makes you more susceptible to catching cold and to other germ diseases.

Chronic fatigue, lack of appetite, unsatisfactory bowel movements, are often symptoms of a deficiency in Vitamin B1.

Underweight in children is frequently caused by a deficiency in B1.

Nutritional anaemia, so common today, is due to a deficiency in iron. 

These are only a few examples of the results of deficiencies in diet. But more important to you is the fact that a new product called VIP has been developed after long patient and expensive research to bring to you an increased supply of vital elements in which the ordinary diet is frequently deficient. 

Science Turns To "Life Cells” To Overcome Dietary Robberies To secure the needed elements scientists went to one of the richest known source of Vitamins, Proteins, and Minerals— the life cells of wheat. A life cell, while only a tiny one-hundredth part of a grain of wheat, is its most vital part. It is the embryo from which life springs and which causes the wheat plant to grow. This life cell however has one defect that has restricted its use. When separated from the grain of wheat, it deteriorates, becoming rancid and disagreeable to the taste. This is the reason why it is discarded when milling white flour.

In order to use these life cells of wheat,  a special process has been devised that overcomes this defect without destroying or impairing the nutritional value or vitamin content. The manufacturers of VIP are the sole owners of this special patented process. 

With these specially processed life cells of wheat are combined cocoa and malt, and an easily-assimilable form of iron, to produce a delightful nut-like food drink packed with vital nutritive elements. 

VIP Increases Your Vitamin Supplies Because of these life cells of wheat, VIP brings to you an increased supply of Vitamin A so necessary to maintain the health of eyes, air passages, lungs, the bladder, and the skin and to maintain bodily vigor and resistance to disease. VIP also brings you a much increased supply of Vitamin B1 which has been proved to have a stimulating effect upon the appetite to invigorate the intestinal tract and to aid digestion. 

A third valuable Vitamin in the life cells is Vitamin B which has a beneficial effect on the nerves and digestive organs, while a fourth Vitamin, the life-producing reproductive Vitamin E, without which human life would cease, is richly concentrated in the life cells of wheat.

Children Gain Weight Research has conclusively proven that Vitamin B1 so richly stored in the wheat life cells, is vitally necessary for children. An adequate supply increase! their rate of growth and weight. 

Supplies Energy Builders and your Daily Needs of Iron In addition to Vitamins VIP brings to you an increased supply of energy-pro-during proteins and minerals stored in the life cells. These have bean amplified with an additional supply of iron for the purpose of enriching the blood and preventing nutritional  anaemia. Two teaspoonfuls and preventing nutrition teaspoonfuls of VIP supply 12 milligrams of iron needed by the blood daily.

Add VIP to Your Dally Diet If you are rundown, nervous, lack of strength and vigor if you have intestinal and digestive disorders as a result of deficiencies in your diet, you cannot start too soon to add VIP to your diet. Even if you are in good health today a deficiency of Vitamins and Iron if continued is bound to store up future trouble for you "Deficiency the Robber” is no less a menace than a "hold up” man.

Delicious Hot or Cold— A Distinctive-Nut-Like Flavor You'll like your first cup of VIP and your children will drink it eagerly VIP is easy to make Just stir two rounded teaspoonfuls into a glass of hot or cold milk until adding sugar if desired.

While it is a delirious drink HOT or COLD at any time the greatest benefit to you will come from die steady daily use to offset the work of "Deficiency the Robber.”

 Obtainable from Druggists VIP (Vitamins + Iron + Proteins) is obtainable from druggists and department stores in two sizes...
