Get your PTH levels and more importantly your vitamin D checked.

Doesn't vitamin D come from that big shiny thing in the sky? I never see enough of that.
I think a lot of my tiredness is down to iron and iodine deficiency. What's that other thing?

Parathyroid hormone
Some people can't make enough vitamin D.
Or in other cases people have something growing on one of their parathyroid glands (near the thyroid) and the vitamin D lowers itself to protect the body from excess calcium produced by the mental overgrown parathyroid. It can cause lots of bone problems. Including arthritis, osteomalacea, osteoporosis, depression, gastric sheeit, nasty cunty temper.

It ain't no problem now beeeitch!
I have super high dose vitamin D for three months.
If it does nowt then they'll scan me and see if there are like, I dunno, stalactites in there. Doc reckons it's more likely caused by my severe vit D deficiency. Finally! I have something! And it can be fixed!

well, now I've been and looked it up
I have quite a few of those symptoms. This is why my doctor thinks I'm a massive hypochondriac. I bet doctors hate google.

Vit D is a very new field. Loads of GPs don't know much about it.
But they reckon tons of people have a deficiency. Some severe.
As a lifelong hypochondriac, it is wonderful to finally have my day.

I want my day too!
I am convinced I am not right (and I know many will agree with this diagnosis) but I don't know what exactly is wrong.

I would love to wake up and have the energy to bound out of bed, and the enthusiasm to actually go out and do something. That would be cool.

I didn't want something
but I got something. Now I have to remember to take pills everyday and that's hard work for an absent minded idiot

I keep forgetting to take my happy pills
and only remember I haven't taken them by the third or fourth day when I start getting dizzy.

write the day on mine in sharpie pen
then leave them by the kettle. The idea being that I always make tea and will notice them. this is not always helpful when I go away somewhere

I am a forgetful mong, and have to only take these Mon Wed Fri
How the FUCK???

(And I didn't really want something. I've just known something wasn't right and it's nice to be told my hypochondria's paid off. Just being flippant there.)

The only reason I can do my job

For me Outlook
and my mate Vic emailing me "You coming to this meeting this morning?"
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 23 Jun 2011, 21:32, Reply)

The google one has task lists
and I can access it at home (since I do a lot here, too, and it means I can put the shit in normal people remember like buying hoover bags and getting my car MOTed)
