Vit D deficiency

Date: October 18, 2009 03:29AM About the past year or so, I've had some lingering joint pain, general aches and soreness all over my body. For about the past six months, my shoulders and arms have been the worst. Some days, the pain was nearly unbearable. I've experienced fatigue, extremely low energy, etc etc..these are part of the reasons I wanted to try the raw food diet...to see if I can get myself and my body into a healthy state again. Well, I had to go to the doctor this week, as I have a sinus infection. Ugh. I told her about the pain and fatigue that had been bothering me, so she took some blood to test for a variety of things. Turns out I am Vit D deficient. She suggested a supplement.
Any thoughts, ideas on how I can boost my Vit D on the raw food diet? I know the obvious is more sun, but we haven't had much sun around here lately. Thanks in advance! BB, Amarynth  Re: Vit D deficiency

This is a discussion had a few months ago on this forum: [www.rawfoodsupport.com] If you do a search using the phrase, "Vitamin D," I bet you'll find more. Re: Vit D deficiency

Date: October 19, 2009 11:21AM Dr Mercola sells an awesome sunlamp system that helps the body produce Vit D that I want to invest in soon. They have the options of "tanning" or not tanning, but they look and sound awesome. That might also be helpful. ***************************** "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...

Date: October 20, 2009 03:40AM Thanks Plainlydressed. I'll have to look into it. The doctor's office called earlier today, some of my other bloodwork came in. I also have Lyme Disease. Well, when it rains it pours. I don't even remember being bitten by a tick at all, and I must have had this for a very long time because I've been experiencing these aches and pains, fatigue, etc..for at least a year.
