You may want to check out Jimmy Moore's Living la Vida Low-carb website (yeah, I know, goofy title but he interviews solid people). He has podcasts and one of them was all about how vitamin D deficiency mimics chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. <a href="http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/shownotes/3668/dr-michael-holick-the-vitamin-d-expert-episode-443/" rel="nofollow">Shownotes</a>. Very under-diagnosed because most doctors don't realize how much vitamin D we all need, especially we up north.<br /><br />I'm not affiliated or anything. The show is something I listened to while trying to sort out my own digestive troubles (who knew cutting out grains helps IBS?). I just thought if you're trying to figure out a mystery, vitamin D may be one thing to look into. BTW, I eliminated grains and sugar, but not chocolate! Never chocolate! :-)Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-27517417377958935452011-04-18T07:30:54.024-04:002011-04-18T07:30:54.024-04:00He didn't try to sell you snake oil, did he?He didn't try to sell you snake oil, did he?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-53234283502091297362011-04-17T23:58:59.607-04:002011-04-17T23:58:59.607-04:00"the more he talked the more my impression of..."the more he talked the more my impression of him dimmed"<br /><br />LOL I've had dates that went pretty much the same way! <br /><br />I'm sorry he doesn't seem to be measuring up to your expectations and/or hopes. That's always a bummer. I will continue to pray.<br /><br />At least he didn't tell you that it was your exhaustingly heavy wallet that was the actual cause of all your troubles! LOLOL You had an awesome line there Spark! I actually laughed out loud at that one. :) Startled Darc! :DDarcsFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757804686134389853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-85031090785652600242011-04-17T19:19:08.429-04:002011-04-17T19:19:08.429-04:00DarcKnyt: Since Canada converted to coins instead...DarcKnyt: Since Canada converted to coins instead of $1 and $2 bills, my wallet has indeed become quite heavy at times. I like that the exchange rate is working in my favour. Maybe I should mail you my piggy bank. ;-)<br /><br />Ron: I'm willing to try most things once, so long as they don't seem dangerous. I have had very mixed results with non-traditional medicine. Some of it (like homeopathic remedies) works well for me, and some of it (like energy work by badly trained practitioners) does more harm than good. I guess there's no way to know but to run the experiment. I'll report back.<br /><br />Kenju: Indeed. Just to get to his office Ken has to drive me for over an hour on the 401. On the way home we got stuck behind a rusty old truck that looked like something out of the Mad Max movie (post-apocalyptic scenario) and I felt sick breathing the stinky diesel fumes for mile after mile. It's not like you can choose to escape our messed-up world. I got sicker getting home from the doctor than I would of if I had just stayed home and tolerated the status quo.<br /><br />Jameil: I'm gouing to start randoumly adding u's tou wourds tou see if anyoune noutices the difference between the valid Canadian varients and my made-up nounsense. ;-)<br /><br />Ileana: Thanks! What it comes down to is that I've experimented a lot over the years, and I have pretty much figured out which things are worth sacrificing and which are not. The things I do without are already fairly numerous. Adding to that list unnecessarily would only be depressing, and we all know that's unhealthy.<br /><br />Claire: Thanks m'dear! I do believe that prayers help a lot.<br /><br />Jenski: I don't eat much chocolate. Maybe once or twice a week I'll treat myself. I think that's moderation enough. I barely ever use my cell phone. It makes my ear feel warm and blurry, not in a good way. I'm not too worried about the microwave, although it's probably a good idea to give it some space while it's running. If it's true that it breaks down vitamins in one's food, I'm sure I more than make up for that with all the vitamin pills I swallow.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-57645453549869210892011-04-17T18:18:46.487-04:002011-04-17T18:18:46.487-04:00Does this mean you won't be giving up chocolat...Does this mean you won't be giving up chocolate? ;-) You could avoid standing in front of the microwave when it is on; I have a friend who prefers landlines because she seems prone to headaches with lots of cell phone usage. I think you know how to take care of yourself and if you can glean any little ideas from a wacko that help a little, all the better. Good luck! Some sunny warm spring weather might help too. :-)Jenskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368202166540468533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-51135680586369716142011-04-17T10:16:45.897-04:002011-04-17T10:16:45.897-04:00Oh hon, I'm sorry the meeting was so disappoin...Oh hon, I'm sorry the meeting was so disappointing.

You know YOU best and it helps to get suggestions from a doctor who's not always pushing pills, but if he keeps this up, he'll be pushing paranoia...and that's not good either.<br /><br />Trust your instincts, chica. You really do know best. I will continue to pray that you find answers and that you don't have to spend a fortune to figure it out.<br /><br />Hugs, Ily xoIleanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200869126695231050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-32657941974443559892011-04-17T03:23:04.790-04:002011-04-17T03:23:04.790-04:00Of all of those walk barefoot on wet grass is BY F...Of all of those walk barefoot on wet grass is BY FAR my favorite!!!!!!
