Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Thought I would update anyone interested in Vit D/calcium and results for my daughter. She is 22 and diagnosed w/PCOS and Celiac and recently went to an endo in NYC that specializes in Vit D/calcium disregulation. She was diagnosed w/Ostemalacia and Vit D defiency and has been on high dose D and calciun/mag. Her test results came back with a lowered alkaline phosphate level (good thing) and the Dr. basically said that when the body corrects the bone situation the ovaries will start to kick in. They will be the last to kick in because the last thing the body needs w/osteomalcia is to get pregnant. The most amazing thing about this is that my daughters skin looks fantastic (had pretty severe acne) and that her mood and happiness level has dramatically improved. What the Dr. said is that when someone is very defiecient in Vit D and has these bone issues there are various other neg manifistations that accompany the lack of Vit D. I went to her for the first time also and will take the blood tests and 24 hr urine to see where all my issues fit in with this. She did say because I still have working ovaries that I could cut back on E and possibly thyroid meds also. We will see and look at everything thru the blood/ urine tests. Karin Quote
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Atlanta Girl, amazing, how one element in the diet - here Vitamin D - affects the whole hormonal and possibly total life balance of a woman ! The " other manifestations " which may come in the long run to older specimens of us, are probably auto immune 'pathologies' too. Thanks for the sharing! - and '3 thumbs up' for having picked such an insightful MD!
