  • I have a Vitamin D deficiency, my doc has me taking 5000 IUs daily. I have issues with fatigue, but I'm also hypothyroid, so that's also a factor. I've gotten my thyroid meds regulated currently, and I can definitely tell a difference in how I feel I don't take my D supplements for a few days. Not a huge improvement, but…

  • Thanks ladies. I'll give it another 3 or 4 cycles to see if it will normalize.

  • I use an excel spreadsheet with a column of weigh-in dates (each Friday), a column of actual weight on that day, and a column of estimated weight (expectation of 1 lb loss a week). I use those columns to create a line graph in the spreadsheet with a trending line. The expected weight line vs. the trending line just shows…

  • Nope. Looks terribly painful and unnecessary since any after effects will be temporary.
