And since nobody’s checking FC on weekend nights - my mystery illness has been uncovered Not Lyme and not smth autoimmune like I thought (or rather was bamboozled by House MD) - it’s severe vitamin D deficiency 🫠 Apparently you can get it even in California if you don’t hike, surf, run or do outdoor sports

So you’re telling me that in California, if you’re short on sunlight, you’re not allowed to just take it as a pill and meet your needs? Btw, I’m glad it wasn’t the things you thought it was! It could’ve been way more worrying :)

Glad you figured it out! No matter where we are, if it's chilly and we're covered up then it's impossible to get enough vitamin D just from hands and face. Skin surface area really matters, need like 30 minutes of most of our body to get consistent load. Plus, not everyone produces the same amount even with sun exposure, and it varies as we age.

I know depression happens with that, We got some of that when we moved to Alaska for a few years. Glad it's a simple vitamin d deficiency (as opposed to what you were prepared for)

My mom says she has this! After she took some prescribed vit D, she started taking D3+K2 in liquid form instead of pill form and it’s helped a lot! Hope you start feeling better! 💜

Interesting . First of all, sorry about the situation . Up here in Seattle , got prescribed 50000mg (didn't even know pills go that high) 😄 so can only imagine you living in a place without sun 🌞 . Wishing you strength always
