Bummer about your Vitamin D. Since I have Degenerative Osteoarthritis, my doctor has me eating them "soft chew" type of Vitamin D's, which are like either eating small, cubed caramels ( like when you are a kid ) or cubed Tootsie Rolls ( because they come in either chocolate or caramel flavors ). I eat one of them babies 3x's a day for me. He says they more easily absorb into your bloodstream. He is an O.D., so I believe him. So far, so good.
I FINALLY found a grower for my med. Kevin and I finally decided against ourselves doing it in case A. the dog got into it and B. the "good stuff" always lets out a very pungent "skunky" type of smell and it'd be hard to hide that. Cassie would not be able to explain it to her friends when they came over, they'd find out, their parents would, blah, blah, blah, you get the picture. I am friends with some of her friends parents, already, and a few know about me and my "unique med needs" and are cool and understanding about it. Not all of them would be, though. Don't need that kind of stuff haunting us in the neighborhood.
I also have to have my thyroid meds make by a compounding pharmacist because the makers of Armour thyroid and all the other "natural" ones, are quitting making them because their "profit margins are not enough", in other words THEY ARE NOT MAKING ENOUGH MONEY OFF OF US! Bastards. So, my prescription that used to cost me $9.60 a mo. for 30 pills is now $36.50!
Isn't life just GRAND? *grumbles*
I'm sorry about the shots, too. Are they doing you any better at all?
