Ok, I survived living in Scotland, where the sun almost never shines and when it does it's weak. Where they do not fortify foods, and where the milk does not have Vitamin D added. Granted, when we got back to the States I had some serious nutritional deficiencies (including a touch of scurvy and my hair was falling out....) and the Daughter's fingernails were splitting and delaminating... So how is it that I now live in a lower latitude, where the food is fortified, where I have to put on sunblock for 3/4ths of the year, and now I get a Vitamin D level of less than 10 (which apparently is exceptionally low) in my blood work and anemia on top of it? I drink a LOT of milk. I eat red meat three times a week. Cheese is pretty much my snack of preference - melted on something, like toast or tortilla chips.
Bizarre.
The size of the daily vitamin pills they now have me on (with Iron) would choke a horse, and I am getting a massively large dose of vitamin D once a week in a similarly-sized pill. Been on them for a week and am actually starting to have a bit more energy, but this is just surreal!
