disclaimer: i know it will not be this simple, lol, but let me dream for a second....
just got a call from the pediatrician...difficult child 2's bloodwork came back....
severe vitamin d deficiency.
pediatrician looked at me like *i* was crazy when i asked to have it done (i was actually asking for a slip for the fall, when things start to go downhill...but she was nice enough to add it on to the routine slip for now)
vitamin d affects 8,768,907 things in your body...big ones of which are mood and fatigue.
now this from a kid who is outside every day, either at the park or in the pool, + recess....and we live 5 miles from the beach.
she's not really a milk drinker, but you dont get much from that anyway.
*I* have a severe deficiency too, but i only supplement during the summer months...i save the horse doses for winter. but i can tell you how *I* felt before it was diagnosis'd...exhausted and moody wasnt the word. i literally couldnt get off the couch. literally. i felt like a million bucks after supplementation (well, in comparision, lol!)
so if anyone is doing bloodwork, ask to have a Vit. D level thrown in.
i'll fall over if this could all be fixed with a vitamin
