I think a lot of it is psychological as her 95th birthday is in a couple of weeks and we went threw this last year too. She gets depressed and discouraged. Also her feet have swollen though her left one has gone down, it’s just more evidence to her that she’s dying. I’m no longer sure she’s coming home.

My doctor said to start a 1000mil vitamin D pill every day and that will improve my moods and fatigue.

So once again all my symptoms can be traced back to something medical. Yeah I can tell when something is legit off. I hope my therapist gives me a break about food since loss of appetite is also one of the symptoms even though the Unisom brought it up. I ate normally today though.

My birthday today is pretty much just a normal day. I got a few birthday wishes on Facebook. I've had the TV on all day and now I'm watching CNN about the balloon. My sister is coming over in a bit to celebrate my birthday. Shes bringing pizza and we have that ice cream cake we got yesterday.

Hi there 1000mg is not enough of vit d3. I take 5000mg of it to stay at a range of 50-60.
how low is your low? I have not heard of anyone starting out with 1000mg.
be well
