For almost 2 years, I have been, and continue to be, treated for Fibro, Osteoarthritis, Senile Osteoporosis (daily injection of Forteo), high blood pressure and low/none vitamin D, and periods of low white cells. Was checked for the usual, RA, Lupus etc. Nothing showed up. Previous health-worked fulltime around 50 hours a week or more, constantly going and doing, did many family dinners, active runner, won divisional 5k first place and masters and weight trained. BMI is around 20. Gradually, my health began to change, and it got to the point, the pain was out of control in my bones and muscles, I had to do something. I couldn't run as fast, or continue to do the things I loved doing. Fatique was so bad, I slept at lunch. Now, I am unemployed, which was nothing due to health. The company closed all offices in the US.
Vitamin D has been an ongoing problem. Now I take prescribed 100,000 units of D per week. The RH doctor who put me on the meds to control the above and is going to take a PTH test in a few weeks. From my research, and the ailments, it appears my problem has been a continual low or none Vitamin D all along. Tests come back with no Vitamin D or very little. I ran out in the sun, with no sunscreen and now I garden, so Vitamin D should not be an issue, but it is. When I don't have enough Vitamin D, I get mouth sores (not herpes). I take Vitamin D, for two days they are gone, and then come back, until I take my next round of D once a week. Previously, the mouth sores which are mostly on the tongue, and inside cheeks of the mouth are so painful, I hate to eat. Trust me, I haven't gained weight from that! Oddly enough, the doctor questions this. I did have a low white count, which was monitored, but it came up to the bottom low range of the lowest normal.
I am thinking I have a parathyroid problem....can anyone relate to this?
