This is strange. My doc just told me last week to start taking vitamin D. He said it should give me more energy since I hardly spend any time in the sun. I am a shift worker and work 12 hrs, day and night. I sometimes get to see the sun going to or from work. Guess I need to try it.

Well, Ive learned that having more energy is not the same as to be anxious you know...

I thought taking vitamin B I was going to feel with more energy and wanting to do more things BUT, instead, I feel moore relaxed, I sleep better but, that helps me having more energy to do things ! Hope my message makes sense...

You know, is like when somebody doesnt sleep... sometimes it doesnt mean (s)he is full of energy, it can mean that person is so stressed or anxious that even feeling tired, (s)he cant sleep...

Good luck with vit D. Today was my 3 day of it and, Im loving it

Glad to hear that. I am getting off of a long work schedule ending with a 12 hr day shift. I am aching all over, want to go home and climb into bed. My husband has made plans for going out to dinner, so it will be a while before I sleep, but I don't want to disappoint him. He has been a blessing to me since I have been diagnosed. I think we'll stop by the drug store and get some vitamin D and add it to the many other medications I am taking.

Good to see this reinforced. I saw my rhuematologist last month. My levels were low, so I have been taking supplement for about 1month. I never worried before because I drank milk by the gallons and loved the sun. But I have curtailed the use both as pain driven me inside. Meds and GI system don't work to well with milk. Interesting about the obesity factor as well. Keep spreading the word.....
