I did read that sometimes they do an intravenous dose of vitamins initially. I don't think my levels are that low, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-health-update-1#post-527419 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:49:14 +0000 rachylou 527419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting about the Vitamin D levels v. the phosphorus (I assume that was the other one that was low?). But you never know. I have Graves disease and type 1 diabetes, both auto-immune at the root. While the diabetes was a sudden and fast onset, the thyroid issue was longer in surfacing. My thought is, one might have fits and starts of the thyroid working and not working, so variable results.</p> <p>Also, vitamins by mouth never worked great for me, not to overcome the hump of the deficiency caused by everything and to get things back to a level playing field. I did a course of intravenous vitamins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-health-update-1#post-527323 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:04:29 +0000 Mochi 527323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that! Thyroid issues are so complex, and often doctors themselves aren't that knowledgeable in that respect. I'm glad your doctor is looking out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-health-update-1#post-527319 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:58:35 +0000 chewyspaghetti 527319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vitamin D deficiency doesn't have anything to do with sunlight. Your parathyroid regulates calcium and phosphate, and converts a chemical into vitamin D that helps you absorb calcium. He's thinking that I may have auto-immune hypoparathyroidism.

I hope they find out what's wrong and that it's an easy fix or treatment. Can you go out and get a little natural sunshine? Maybe the vitamin D made by your body will be superior to the supplements you're taking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-health-update-1#post-527161 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:32:15 +0000 Meredith1953 527161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so glad your doctor is prescribing a protocol that will make you feel better!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-health-update-1#post-527158 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:30:02 +0000 CocoLion 527158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't realize you were having health problems and pain! Hope you are feeling OK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-health-update-1#post-527155 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:28:10 +0000 chewyspaghetti 527155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a follow up appointment with the endocrinologist today (this is the third one- so far all of my hormone levels have been normal). At my last visit, he said it might be my Parathyroid and sent me for more bloodwork. I got the results back today, and the doctor said I am weird LOL My vitamin D is low, which usually makes one other level high (can't remember what it was); but that level was also low for me. He said he hasn't seen these type of results in years. I already take Calcium with Vitamin D, so he said this may explain the strange results, but he wanted to re-do the same test to make sure it isn't a fluke. The low vitamin D explains the issues with my bones (and some of the pain), and taking more vitamin D will help the issues. I will get the other results back in three weeks, so we will see what he has to say then. </p>
