Vitamin D level..........related to hypothyroidism?

July 25, 2010

My vitamin D level was 7 when my doc had the blood tests done. I am on 50,000

units once a week. My nails have bad ridges on them. My skin on my hands looks

like i am 90. I dont know if that is related or not.

A doc at the hospital said i should be getting at least 15 minutes a day in the

sun. I had been told to stay out of the sun because of the meds i am on, which

are many.

I did what he said a couple days and now i have these horrible marks on my arms

that look like i am a burn victim. No more sitting in the sun for me.

So, is there a connection between the Vitamin D level alnd hypothyroidism?

What about the energy level? and the weight gain? My cardiologist (who evidently

didnt read my chart about my health conditions) said that i need to be walking,

and doing areobic exercise...........

I have degenerative joint disease, hereated and bulging discs in my back, a

" tear " inside my right knee and switcheds doc about that because i dont want to

have knee replacement so now i just get shots in the knees. I have chronic

fatigue, fibromyalgia (which i guess people who dont have them think they arent

real), arthritis in my neck....

i have a wheel chair that reclines because sometimes i cant even sit up myself.

i have a walker that helps out when i dont need the chair. i havent showered in

months because i can not lift my legs to get into the tub. I take neurontin for

the nerve damage in my legs.

and now i feel like a nut case or a bad person because i CANT DO AREOGICS OR

TAKE WALKS. GIVE ME A BREAK.

And, Nooooooooo , i didnt say any of that to the cardiologist. i was stunned. i

guess i just ASS UMED, THAT HE KNEW MY HEALTH HISTORY.

I feel like such an idiot. I also have an organic brain disorder that cause

short term memory loss and while i was in his office, i was pretty much " brain

on tilt " and made no sense. oh great.

thanks for letting me share again...........
