I was so miserable earlier this year that I was sure my Graves Disease was out of remission. My doc checked my vitamin d levels as well. I was deficient and felt much better after getting my level up.
We chalked up our 13 year old daughter’s extreme moodiness to her age. Lately she has been melancholy and depressed. We checked some of her writings and it seems she’s been deeply depressed-lots of tears that night for me. She hadn’t been taking my “stupid vitamins that don’t work anyway “. I’ve been making her take 3,000 to 5,000 units daily for about a week. She actually smiles and talks to us again. It’s an amazing difference. I’ve also added fish oil, b12 and a high quality multivitamin so I can’t say it’s the vitamin d alone, but if I was deficient then my kids probably were as well. She was the one not taking the supplement.
Wow, good job, mom. Wonder how many kids with depression could be helped with vitamins.
So glad to hear about your daughter’s health & yours too : )
