Hi Friends:
This is really hard. Dr. B started my on Vit D July 2 and it was reall helping with my sleep and energy level. I was fine until Saturday which was the 6th day. Of course, she said to start with just a few drops, and as is my pattern, the amount I was taking crept up and up. So today it was 2/3 of a 1000 mg capsule. The burning today was really bad and Dr. b has told me to cut back down on the D by half. I also have a sore throat and wonder if my acid reflux is coming back since I have had major problems with portion control the last week. I feel like a mess right now: bloated and stinging and then I went on the site and fell into reading a post from someone who was "worse than ever" in 2010 after a long period of treatment and then disappeared off of the site. I said to myself, I cannot let myself go down this rabbit hole, it is too destructive so I am writing you all instead.
My questions are:
1) What do you do when you start to panic and think that you will never figure out what you did or what you ate that caused the burn; Start to think that it is not really true that people get better.
2) Have any experience to share re Vit D.
Thank you!

It is really TRUE that people get better - I am one of them (very happy to say!) It took a while. For me, it was quite clear what caused burning - in the early days: avocado, almond milk, cooked apple to name a few. I guess I was lucky in that it was obvious what to avoid. You WILL get better - hang on in there!
Hi Bonnie!
I tolerated Vit D at first, then I seemed to have more muscle pain from using it. I went on it later on and did better. Dr. B will help you through this glitch. You have been improving and improving, you will continue! Love and hugs to you.
