Dizzyness Weakness Fatigue And Vitamin D3

I have been having some mystery symptoms for the last few months, I'd been feeling very weak, I hadn't been able to clean my house as vigorously as I would like as 20 minutes in I had been having symptoms much like hypoglycemia. I had been fatigued and also a little bit dizzy while walking around. I assumed I had low iron so I went to the doctor and had a barrage of tests from kidney function to thyroid function to iron levels to a total blood count and more but they all came back within the normal range. The doctor wanted to send me for more tests but I was sure I was simply missing something in my diet because since I had my baby boy 10 months ago I haven't been eating a well balanced diet, anything fast from the pantry has been my motto! First I tried Bio-Zinc, and although this had some unexpected and WONDERFUL effects, they didn't alleviate this initial problem.

Four days ago my mum bought me a bottle of vitamin D3 capsules. I took one right away, when I woke up the next morning I could already notice a slight difference in my strength! Fast forward three days and I have woken up feeling happy, motivated, I have more energy, I'm still a little dizzy but not anywhere near as much as I was. It makes sense because I am inside a lot more now that I have a baby. If I do go out it's usually to go to another indoor place like a friends house or to the shopping center and it's only a five minute trip so even though I may get a bit of sunlight on part of one arm on the way there it's not anywhere near enough.

I will post in a couple of weeks to let you know what improvements have taken place.

**************ONE WEEK LATER***************

 

 

I have some wonderful news, I am no longer fatigued, weak and dizzy! If you are experiencing some or all of these symptoms you should go and see a doctor and get checked out just in case your health problem is unrelated, you can ask for a vitamin D3 blood test but for me it seems my health problems were a result of being deficient in Vitamin D3. 

 

Here are my fantastic results: It has been at least 6 months since I have had the energy to clean my house properly, now my stove is shiny again, my house is mopped and vacuumed, my living areas are tidy, dusted and organised once again, my dishes aren't piling up because I have been able to keep on top of them, I have been playing with my baby a lot more instead of doing the bare minimum - feeding, changing, cuddling, praying for nap time to hurry up! I have been happier, more motivated and I haven't been suffering from muscle weakness, although because I was in such bad condition when I began taking these I do need to build my muscles up again, but I haven't been experiencing the shakiness after trying to do the normal every day things, I actually feel quite sturdy, you really notice this when you have been so tired and so dizzy for so long.

 

One third of Australia's population is deficient in vitamin D3 which is surprising considering we have so much sun here, but since my bub was born, and since it has been a very rainy winter, I have received very little sunshine the past year and have not had a very well balanced diet at all.
