Have you had your Vitamin D levels checked recently?

There's an epidemic in the United States.  And I'm part of it.  Because of so many people using sun screen to avoid cancer, and other environmental reasons, I'm sure, Drs. are finding more and more people with Vit D deficiencies.

If you're over 50 your level should be 20.  Just recently, after a zillion other tests, my Dr. discovered mine is 6.  Said it was the worse he's seen. 

I originally went to see him because I was so exhausted and couldn't rest.  He found some other things, but nothing seemed to be the real problem.  I'm hoping after taking a prescription of 500,000 units of Vit. D one time a week for 10 weeks, that I'll feel better.

Vit D deficiency can cause so many problems.
