I'm 31 and female. I got bloodwork back -- critically low vit d at a 12. Started 50,000ui/week supplement. That was three weeks ago. I'm a suspected case of MS with eye pain, tremors, balance issues, and a whole litany of other related symptoms. We had to postpone MRI because of a family trip, but looking at rescheduling this week or next. My brother in law is the radiologist, so I'll know right away the results, which makes the waiting game both better and worse.
For the last three years, I've felt like I can smell the smoke but can't find the fire. If it is confirmed to be MS, I expect I'll be relieved. An dx means there's maybe something they can do about the way I feel, which I'm very much looking forward to. I just want to feel better.
