Have a health issue/question? Let the experts here at BCP solve it for :biggrin:

Disclaimer: please don't sue me if someone tells you to take a dozen adderall to cure your stuffy nose.

My issue: I found out that I was vitamin D deficient. The Doc puts me on Vitamin D and my numbers improve, a cool side effect from this is that my knee pain has disappeared :g:

Is this related, or just pure coincidence?

Get out from behind that computer and get some damn sunlight! ;) Vitamin D deficiency results in impaired bone mineralization, and leads to bone softening diseases.

If I could quit my job, I'd get lots of sun :biggrin:
Unfortunately I've grown accustomed to food and shelter:banghead:

Its really amazing though, My right knee has been bothering me for 2 years and the pain has just disappeared. I hope it's not a fluke

everyone should be taking a 1000IU Vitamin D3 supplement daily, unless you are at the beach for the week. added benefit aside from the bone stuff, helps with muscle function/performance too.
