I went to have my blood draw done on Sat, an event in itself. Just getting out of the house these days is monumental (everyone was waiting in the car). A rather cranky lady looked at my sheet & told me the codes weren't on there & that we'd be charged for it & it would be very expensive. I called my practitioner from there but of course there was no answer on Sat (she does work some Sats though so I took a chance). Anyway, I was more then upset being I had tried to get this done once before, met the cranky lady & a room full of waiting people, & actually left saying I'd try another day when they were so busy. This time I didn't want to leave.

So after explaining how I have 6 kids, two severely autistic, can't get out, yadda yadda, boo hoo, she said she would put it in the computer so that they would contact them. She also said my practitioner could call or fax the codes into them the following week (which is what happened).

The results came back fast; I got an email from my pratitioner today. She was not in the office so will have to double check a few things from my previous blood work well over a year ago. But she did say my Vitamin D was extremely low... Apparently 50 is needed for "optimal health" & mine is 12.5. She said this can contribute to autoimmune disease & fibromyalgia (I have symptoms). Needless to say she wants me on vitamin D3 (best absorption) pronto... & a large daily dose at that. (It's fine for me while nursing).

Get out in the sun? Not gonna happen. I can't chase my severely 13yo & 2yo around, hold or push around baby twins & keep track of two other kids besides, not even in the fenced yard! It just doesn't happen.

I have to go back on my CLO as well. Green Pasture is the best; high Vit A & good D. Not enough so I'll still have to supplement the D.

I have other elevated levels such as my CRP; I still have to read the attachment she sent but basically it means there is inflammation. Something's up. I've had this before but I don't know if it was this much. She'll let me know when she checks my previous tests. Right now I'll start on Tumeric herb probably for the inflammation at least.

I guess I really should start trying to get those vitamins in me consistently.

I'm still off "obvious" sugar, but having a tough day & wanting to jump off the wagon... so far I haven't yet.
