My 8 month Check up Results!

Okay, so it has been almost (in 10 more days) 8 months since my cleanse, and me going completely Vegan. I was beginning to doubt my choice when, recently, I started getting sick, feeling chronically fatigued, feeling weak, and having mood swings from depression to anger like you wouldn't believe. I don't know if many of you know, but I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia two years ago. So these symptoms can come in and out on me all of the time. But I had not remembered feeling like such a grouch since I was much younger. Therefore, I went for a physical. I asked them to check my blood levels for EVERYTHING!

Well, yesterday I went to get the results. Completely prepared to hear how becoming Vegan has affected my Iron or B12 or Protein, I anxiously waited for the nurse. She came out in the waiting area and sat next to and said "Hey, how ya been?" I love my nurse, she's the one who yelled at me about my cholesterol a year ago that got me off my butt. Anyway, to make a long story short... MY NUMBERS WERE GREAT!!! I have been doing the right thing (well mostly) and I am not deficient in anything EXCEPT... (que suspenseful music) BUM BUM BUM... Vitamin D!

I have been reading about that since yesterday, it can totally account for the way I have been feeling! I am so happy! For two reason: 1) I now know what the problem is and can address it. and 2) I can continue in my Vegan lifestyle while continuing to educate myself and feel completely confident that what I am doing is right!
 
Thanks to all of you who have had faith in me and have giving me support!
I wish you all Beauty and Love and Health Always,
