Apparently I have severe vitamin D deficiency, causing my parathyroid hormone level issues, and probably causing or at least contributing to my high BP, low mood, aches, etc. I’ve been prescribed some vitamin D, but decided to supplement with actual sunshine today.
Literally.
High blood pressure, ongoing issues with vitamin D and parathyroid hormone level, unusual reactions to insect bites and sunburn… you get the picture. It’s not the end of the world. I’ve taken all of this in step by step, it really has been a journey. At the time of the post I was frustrated and resentful and angry. It’s bad enough to have constant pain, the fact that it causes all these knock-on effects is beyond aggravating.
This brings me back to radical acceptance – it makes a difference. Please try it if you are on this journey.
