....picked up by my new Dr. On supplements now, got to have a bone density test next time I see him.

I have been so careful to eat right, plenty of vit B rich foods and A and C and E etc. I regularly eat fresh fish and canned fish like sardines and eat egg yolks.BUT I think my problem was that I have been sun 'shy' for many years as have pale skin and tried to avoid sunburn/skin cancer etc.

Darker pigmented people and elderly need to stay in sun longer than fair skinned people to get the vit D.

According to Dr G I should be getting 6 mins in the sun ev day in summer and 28 minutes or so, ev day in winter.

Chemist girls told me that they are seeing a lot of women and young teen girls with same .....getting Vit D supplements. Was told by pathology girl that Vit D oil is better absorbed by our bodies than in capsule form but have caps as prescribed

Is this something recent that is being discovered in 'plague' proportions? Anyone know?

Apparently signs and symptoms are similar to depression and that thing called SAD.

Well I was certainly experiencing a lot of muscular pain and inner bone pains for a few years.

Thank goodness my new Dr has picked this up......could have been on my way to getting ruddy ricketts!

seriously!

Here you go paints:)

I have added a health tan so you are not so pale anymore, it's an all over tan too 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, and foods that are fortified with vitamin D are often inadequate to satisfy either a child's or an adult's vitamin D requirement.

That leaves the question: how did the human race survived until now? I have never been one for sunbaking, most of my life I worked long hour anyway, and if I had some outdoor activity, like riding my horse, walking my dogs, gardening or what ever, I would do it early in the morning; at daybreak before it gets too hot. Yet my bones are in great shape and I only got diagnosed and started to take the capsules few years back. So i mut have been able to get enougj of vitD most of my life. It sounds to me as that something changed; maybe we are becoming incapable of processing the vitamin D available to us in our diet?

The whole problem with vitamin defficiencies in plague proportions is caused by genetically modified foods. These foods are injected with chemicals to prevent deseases and kill insects that attack the crops. Those chemicals we ingest and they invade our bodies, killing off the system that absorbs all the good things our body needs.

I too am on Vit. D supplements + calcium and a Vit. B12 injection every two month. My stomach can not absorb Vit.B12 from the food I am eating anymore. Vit.B12 defficiency can cause an awful lot of problems. I have lost one third of my bone density over the years. Nothing will repair it, only slowing the process down. But I am 78 years old, so have resigned myself to expect more problems over time.

When I was growing up we used to buy fruit and vegetables with a few grubs that had to be washed or cut out. Some misshapen vegies or fruit. Nobody really cared, and everything tasted great. Now we get perfect looking fruit and vegies with a longer shelf life, and nothing has any taste. I noticed that even onions don't taste like onions anymore. The same goes for bread and other grain products.

Cook your own, cook fresh they yell. Makes not much difference from processed food, only the fat and sugar content can be controlled cooking your own. We can not control the toxic chemicals in our food.

Now I keep telling my children to take care of their bodies and health, because whatever we eat or drink is full of toxic chemicals that harm our systems, but we have to eat and drink.

Anyone has a solution?

I have biphosphonate infusions for osteogenesis imperfecta. I was born with that one though.

Thanks Katymatey my sp is atrocious at times..Last time I had the infusion it was free this time I think I will be out of pocket $500.00 but I suppose if it is required I have to cop it

Must get my levels checked then. Wouldn't have thought Vitamin D deficiency an issue living in Qld but you just never know!!

I have some Caltrate here (not mine)... should I just take it anyway being 52?

I'm hoist either way............I have to avoid spending too much time in the sun, I'm prone to skin cancers...........and I, like yourself, have to take "D" supplements. I have a bone density scan every year, and there has been virtually no loss in the last 20 years.

aps1080 · ‎13-01-2015

A multi vitamin every couple of days is what I take if needed.

I still think, regardless of fair skin people should spend 20 minutes in the sun every day.

The Damage has already been done on me. As we chat, I have just had my 3rd Skin Cancer removed. Years of being in the Sun the Dr said. Now, I wear a hat if I'm outside. Too scared not to now. 😞

tasfleur · ‎13-01-2015

Take care Horizon and you'll be okay too now xx

I have to be careful as well, coming from an extremely cold climate.

lionrose.7 · ‎13-01-2015

Hi Tas, this winter they are going to do Efudix on my face so I will be hiding for about 6 weeks, not looking forward to it but they say it will be ok.

As I also have allergies I am frightened it will go all wrong.
