    I haven’t been on that drug. I am dealing with low vitamin D again. I know how frustrating lupus can be. Hopefully you’ll find your answers somewhere

    Jackie,
    I’m on mega doses of D on top of my regular dose. They cannot get the level up for nothing.

    I just received a letter with a prescription from my Rhumetologist for Ergocalcifer 50,000 IU’s to take for the next 12 weeks due to my Vit D levels being 15. I have been very adamant about not taking so many of these dang medications that are so toxic to our bodies and trying my best to get it through diet. I ‘ve noticed no one pn the post has mentioned strength building exercise. Ladies we have to exercise! I know how we hurt and are very tired but try the Wii system and I send love and support to all! and ask in return you send some my way because my biggest battle is family that just don’t understand!

    Alicia,
    I understand the Vit D deficiency all too well. My daughter just received a WII so I am thinking about trying it out.

    Oh My Gosh! I feel like I am just talking to a brick wall when I talk to my Mother. She thinks that everything is going to be OK. She never wants to watch my children for me and give me a day of rest. I have a husband, but he works alot. I also deal with the low vitamin D. It just feels good to know that I am not alone. Thanks!

    My initial ana test has come back positive, and i have a vitamin d deficiency. My primary physician is transferring me to a rheumatologist, but I can’t get in for 2 more months. Is there anything I can do in the meantime while waiting for more conclusive test results?

    Dustee,
    The best solution for you is to keep yourself busy and try not to diagnosis yourself before you get to the doctor. I went through years of doctors tell me it was in my head. Finally, my primary doctor sent me to an excellent nerologist who listened to me and fought for me. He did the right tests which gave me a feeling of validation.
