Mrs. D.

I found the Mark thread. That is such great news. Sounds like he really noticed after a month.
It's been 5 EXCRUTIATING ones for me. I think I can hold out another month, I pray! And have some hope that things could improve.

When they do, you'll have to add me to the Mark testimonies of the miracle of 'D'.

Maybe I will come back here and record things.

For the record, I started 10,000 i.u. a day of D last Thursday when my levels were at 10.
I went to a tanning bed for 4 min. on Thursday, and 4 min. on Friday. Sunday I sat by an open window in the sun for 20 minutes (it's too cold here to go outdoors!).
I went 6 minutes, today, Monday.

I still have the Tarsal Tunnel-like symptoms and Plantar Fasciitis. I have severe burning in the backs of my ankles that go up to my calves by day end. I feel some burning pain all the way up to my buttocks at times. I don't seem to have it elsewhere in my body. Sometimes my wrists feel a bit funny, but I do push-ups nearly daily and that may be the culprit.

I do not shop or do anything that requires lots of walking. I use a walker when I go to the drs, etc. That way I have a seat to sit on if I need to rest, because the pain becomes intense if I have to stand or walk for even short periods.

Most of my day is spent sitting, though I have 4 small children to care for and do what I have to do.

I am still taking hydrocodone for the pain. I took 6--750 mg pills today. It takes the edge off, but does not make it disappear completely.

I'll try and keep a log here as I can for anyone in the future that it may help.

Thanks.
