So I posted earlier about being tired. Not just tired, exhausted, down to the bone, collapse into bed and sleep for two days straight tired. That's how I have felt everyday for the last two or three years, basically since getting pregnant with my second child. The doctor would tell me that I am a busy working mom and that's why I am so tired. I never really bought it. I was a much busier working mom before and I was fine. Blood work always came back okay, but I didn't feel okay. I felt like I had aged 20 years in the last two. On top of that, I had constant aches in my legs. My dad had always complained of sore legs. The doctors could never help him and I thought I was doomed to the same fate. Orthotics and compression socks were the best they could offer me, and they did little to relieve the aches.
All this to say, my coworker told me to try vitamin D. I was desperate and thought I have nothing to lose. I left for work early the next day and bought a bottle and quickly took one before the start of my shift. I figured it would need a week or so to build up in my system and to see any results. I felt amazing that day! The pain was gone! The last three days have been the best ever. The pain is gone, my energy, both physical and mental, has increased dramatically. My mood is so much better. I feel like myself again. I feel like I can take on the world. I loved to work out before, and was a bit of a gym rat. But I've been so tired, that while I wanted to work out, I dreaded it and put if off. I was too sore and tired most days. Now, I can't wait to work out! I can't wait for the chance to go for a run again!
Look out 2015! I'm back and I am reclaiming my life!
