MM Warriors Part Deux (As of October 27)

There's 600 units of vit D in that powder from Dr. Teitelbaum. I wonder if that's too little for me then? Thanks for the information, Carol! I need my sunshine! I don't know what I am going to do if my son gives me damp, rainy little Oregon grandchildren. I'm hoping they will bring me sunshine even if I have to live in the cold to see them!

Sorry Kate and Lisa, I just read my previous post and the amounts of the Vit D are off. It should read: 8 - 10,000 IU. If you decide to try this, you want to look for 1,000 IU capsules...you would have to take way too many of the smaller dose ones to make 8,000 IU. I have gotten mine at a place called The Vitamin Shoppe.

Thanks, Carol! There's one of those shops near my work. I'll give it a try this week.

Do you do anything for it? Use a light? Any suggestions?

you know, I've tried a light and you've got to sit in front of it first thing in the morning for half an hour and I just don't get up early enough to sit for that long not doing anything!!!!

Ha, ha, Natalie, we need a hat that shines a light on us while we walk around!

Warriors, there is a post from Cindy on FB that her Mom has a malignant spot on her spine. She has to have 10 days of radiation, but they say it is 99% effective so that is terrific news, considering the scary diagnosis. We all should say prayers for her Mom and her family. Thank goodness the doctors can help her.

I have it really, really bad. I don't have a light, but getting outside, even if it's in the car for a drive, helps me. When we get fog for days on end, I have to drive up to Nevada City or something. At night I light the fire and try to move around. My husband is gone a lot too and that's one of the reasons I made a goal to reconnect with women friends this year. I call a friend and go out for dinner a lot more often than I used to. It seems to help to make sure I'm not alone too much. Even walking the dog is helpful.

Lisa--you are me on the opposite coast!! I love that you connect with friends, I want to but I feel so blah about myself (and no energy) so I just don't. I HATE that, I've always been social. Going to Fibro and Fatigue center next Tuesday for a free consult so I am going in the right direction!!! thanks for sharing this stuff about yourself, it helps me and others so much

2,000 and up to 10,000iu a day--sooo many people are deficient in it.

Today I said to myself, "Natalie is my sister from another mother!" It's a big step that you are going to the center and you are connecting here, so you are making lots of steps in the right direction! Bless you.

What's everyone making for dinner? Turkey and half of a sweet potato I think for us. Haven't had the sweet pots yet, so excited!

Lisa and Natalie - I had a vision of the two of you wearing miner's caps with the little light on the front!!! Add that to the Godiva ride outfit!!

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

I made some AWESOME soup this morning...old italian family recipe...I THINK its legal...OMG, I hope so!! Italian Sausage with tomatoes, green peppers, onions, garlic and zucchini... I used the spicy turkey sausage...Are we still worrying about too much tomato on step 2? Was hoping to have a cup when I got home after the gym tonite!

We'll have to shine them on each other! I can see a dance routine now!Don't forget; we think Kate's about to join us! She's as bad as we are! Better start training those ponies to be in the spotlight!

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

Oh that sounds like FUN!! We need an MM dance!!!

I made a point of taking a walk in the sunshine today with my dog! I grew up in Fresno and know what it is like to have fog for days on end...

Thank you Natalie and Lisa! Actually, thank you to everyone today. I don't feel as alone as I did this morning.

Asparagus and eggplant parm for us. It was yummy!

Yes, I definitely need a hat with a light on it. Lisa - I am thinking that we can work up a good dance routine! Something with some kicks in it!

Can we teach the ponies to do the MM dance?
