Shannon. thanks. I've been going to Docs. They're waiting on more tests. I'm just looking for some outside opinions on this/ Sort of looking for my Dr. House you know. :) This whole process is moving sooo slowly and meanwhile I get worse. I know about the vitamin D levels and I do know it's bad news. I'm on 5000 units a day now so we'll see. In the meantime my BP is still high. My sodium/'potassium are always low after a few weeks (no I don't drink a lot of water or watch my salt LOL) The've changed my BP meds to take out HCT and then Diazide. Now am on Norvasc/Atenelol/clonodine/ I don't like their constant change there. It must be overworking my heart in some capacity. I've got them stumped until results os ultrasound/MRI I just want to scream but will endure. I am 49 w.hysterectomy at 40 so we already were thinking hormonal, so far nada... it's making me nuts to be so slowed down.... Thank you for letting me vent. I appreciate it.
Holy Cow, get yourself to the doctor! It could be one of about 100 things.
the sweating could be stuff like a deficiency, toxicity, virus, hormonal imbalance, infection, pregancy, cancer...etc...
Remember, your symptoms are the body's way of saying "SOMETHING IS WRONG...PLEASE HELP".
In addition, vit D deficiency is really serious.
If your blood level is less than 35 ng/ml, Many doctor's will correct it with 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 a day under their supervision and then recheck your blood levels after 3 months. It takes a good 6 months usually to optimize your vitamin D levels if you’re deficient. Once this occurs, you can lower the dose to around 2,000 – 4,000 IU a day. Heavy people need more, so if you're on less than 4,000 IU a day, you need more!!! Plus, if you live in the northern US, and have low vit D, your chances of cancer go way way WAY up. They're linking low D to lots of cancers. Get out in the sun!
Be careful though...vit D is one of the fat soluable vitamins (A,D, E and K) and you CAN over-dose on them. You need to get your booty to a doctor girl! Something is messed-up big time. Don't ignore these symptoms.
