My mental health clinic finally got an online health portal so I signed up for that. That’s helpful. Yeah my diagnosis are all still the same. Anorexia nervosa, binge purge type, schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. The acid reflux thing though is no longer an issue so that is gone. And vitamin d deficiency is listed on there. I’m on vitamin d now though, so hopefully when I get retested in January it’ll be up to what my doctor wanted. My levels were 9 when we tested and he wants it at least up to 14 to start then go from there. I don’t like taking vitamin D. I’m convinced my two random severe dizzy /vertigo episodes were caused by it because I never experienced that before. But I don’t have proof. They weren’t like slight dizziness either. They were like the entire room felt like it was spinning which scared the crap out of me both time it happened. Also my psych meds can all cause dizziness and there’s several of them but I’ve never experienced that from them. Idk maybe it was something totally random. But I seem to have weird issues with vitamin D supplements. The first one I was on I had to stop because
Possible trigger:
. That was to 50,000 mcg weekly dose though which is a really large dose to take at once. Now I’m on the 1,000 mcg twice a day and I don’t have that issue from it but I’m still trying to figure out where that dizziness came from.

My psychiatrist is insistent that I get my vitamin d level up. I thought when I mentioned the side effects of the first one he’d let it go but nope , he decided to have me try a different formulation of it at a different dose /schedule.
