Long time no see! Probably as I'm low in Vitamin D!

Hi readers,

Apologies for the long absence, but I think I may have finally got to the bottom of my problems.

I recently had my Vitamin D level tested with these people: http://www.grassrootshealth.net

It turns out that my level is rather low.

This would explain a great deal, regarding my health issues (including menstrual migraines).

My aim now, is to get my vitamin D levels up to the ideal range (using supplements/the sun - if we ever get any/tanning beds for short periods/eating oily fish), so that I can see if it makes a difference!

I am planning to test my levels again in about 2 months to see if there's any progress.

There are some very informative clips on YouTube that you may find interesting, here are a couple of really cracking videos:

and

(I'm not sure if those links are working, so you may need to copy & paste the link into your browser.)

There are also many books on Amazon etc that are very informative on the subject.

I would be interested to hear of other people's experiences with this and whether they managed to eliminate their menstrual migraines by getting their Vitamin D levels back up into the optimal range. Please comment if you have anything to add.

Thanks for reading!

Lou.
