Fuck!

[MyDearFriend]

Yeah once I got my blood levels up I went to 2000 iu a day. Still losing bone at an alarming rate, though, so I'm booked to see an endocrinologist next month. She'll probably tell me to quit drinkin' & smokin' but, I'm with Mark Twain on that one...

I will try the D3, thanks for the tip Gyre.

[gyre]

Glad to help.
They checked me for bone density due to all the issues found, but okay now.
I don't know if they fixed it or I didn't have that issue yet.
The doctors don't care.

You're probably safe upping to 4000 iu a day.
When I got too much D2, I could feel it in my joints, in spite of being told that isn't possible.
No issues with the D3.
Just be sure to get checked at some point for levels.

Adequate vitamin D makes a huge difference in dealing with UV.
It affects so many things, I just quit reading.
Basically without enough, you're fucked.

[Ugly Dougly]

So instead of fuckin'-A, we can now say fuckin'-D3?

[gyre]

Works for me.

I have to find A palmitate for my friend that's going blind though.

No one thinks you shouldn't take care of yourself.
That seems to be how caregivers burn out.

I was just trying to suggest some ways of taking care of yourself.


Every tbi case is different.
I do think it's a special kind of hell to not be able to think clearly.
I seem to be unusual in having been so impaired and regaining enough function to tell people what it's like.
I'm told that's rare.

I'll never forget that guy on the bus.
I don't even know what was going on with him, besides the obvious.

But I was just using that as one example of the things that happen to people.

There are a lot of stories out there.

We're all pulling for you, Mary.

Thanks gyre *hugs*

Sooo can anyone take vitamin D?

[MyDearFriend]

Sooo can anyone take vitamin D?

Yes, and from the looks of it, everyone should!

[gyre]

Sooo can anyone take vitamin D?

Yes.

You don't want more than you need, even though D3 is supposed to regulate itself well.
Very important to get enough.

They say they rarely test anyone that is getting enough these days.

Hey, we didn't get a fuck out of any of you! Where's your fucking manners?

As for vitamin D ... drink lots of milk and play naked in the sun. Best fucking way to get your vitamin D.

From the What the FUCK newswire....

The pathetic fucking excuse for a human being the dishonorable Rev. Fred Phelps plans to protest in Joplin, MO this Sunday.....yes the same place where an EF-5 has killed 125 people in the 8th worst tornado to hit in America since records started being kept....

Why couldn't the bolt of lightning that hit the first responder helping out have been saved to take that sorry motherfucker out?

Of all the depraved over the top fucking things that motherfucker has done, this is a despicable low.

In this fucking case, the fucking fuck is fucking clearly a fucking implied fucking fuck, just in case you couldn't fucking tell.


The only way to know if your vitamin D levels are adequate is to be tested.
Plenty of people with too much sun exposure are found to be short on it.

I probably have too much dairy, take three fish oil caps a day and the regular vitamins.
50,000 IU a week didn't bring my levels up where they were happy with them.
How much milk would that be?
Most people don't test that low, but most test lower than they want.
Maybe no one ever had enough?
No one is quite sure what's going on.

Big fucking benefits.

[gyre]

Fucken Aaaaaaaaaaaa!

[MyDearFriend]

I'm'a tell you a story now, so hold still a minute.

My 21 year old son is just home from college for the summer, and last Friday morning on my way out to work I went into the boyz room (2 sons, the younger is 17) to shake them out of their Odin sleep and prevent them from spending the whole day in bed, and, my older son Archie had his leg sticking out from under the sheet, and, I saw, on the back of his calf, a black spot that looked completely fucking wrong in every way, unless you were looking for a warning poster to put on the wall of your exam room.

So, I went on to work, where I spend my day talking to doctors on the phone, and called around until I found a good doc who would take that thing off right away. That was Friday.

So, Tuesday, day before yesterday, I took Archie to the doc and had the fucking spot removed to a jar. I figured I had a week at least until I had to worry about a path report, but, today I get home from work and hear, from Arch, that the doctor had called to say, quote, "Let me give you the upshot," which is, yeah, bad news, make an appointment to have a bigger whack taken by a plastic surgeon so we can see if the margins are clean.

FUCK!

And, I think the particular surgeon we want is away on vacation, out of the country...

FUCK!!!

oh fuck MDF, lucky you saw it

[MyDearFriend]

Yeah, the fucking thing was still <1cm (9mm) so, an advantage there.

[ygmir]

fuck MDF!!!
as mentioned, good thing you saw it!!!!

Hoping the fucking best now.

[geospyder]

Good news - I've had a few of those fuckers cut out in the past years. Some deeper than others but they seem to get it all.

Better news. My daughter has recovered enough that they are trying to wean her off meds. The consensus is that the meds were making things worse - thus the suicidal tendencies.

Best news - she will be able to make it out to Texas for her daughter's high school graduation this Saturday. This will be a mini family reunion. Our other daughter is on her way from California. We just arrived in Wichita Falls this afternoon. Humidity in Texas sucks. I can't wait to get back to Nevada

[MyDearFriend]

(((Geospyder))) great news about your daughter, how great that someone had the sense to take her off those fucking meds and

thank you

for reminding me that most people do just fine!



whew!

Yes, and from the looks of it, everyone should!

Well Fuck BB...you are so fucking right! I fucking apologize for not fucking adding a fuck or two. Fuck!!

[theCryptofishist]

Fuck, mdf, it's good you knew what to do and didnt' hesitate. I hope you have the fucking time to wait for the good surgeon.
Wonderful fucking news, Geospyder. I wish you joy in your vacation.

That Fucking pile of shitcakes came to MY town to protest a military funeral here. It was so awesone to watch the motorcyle clubs gather around them an rev their bikes so the fuckwads couldn't be heard!

[Box Burner]

Fucking awesome Geospider!

That fucking sucks about the meds. I often think that sometimes we would be better off without them. Especially when you two or three doctors each prescribing several different ones. I just talked to one of my doctors about that. Told her that she needed to get together with the other one and decide which meds I should be taking. Side effects from multiple drugs are hard to predict and, as you have seen, sometimes just make it worse.

MDF - Sure glad that you spotted that fucking spot. Hope they get it all on the next pass.
