Oh... well, thanks for sharing, and good luck with the appointment on the 30th. Have you been taking any vitamin D and calcium supplements? I've done lots of reading on this and have learned that mega doses of vitamin D (as in, several thousand i.u.'s per day) are often what your body needs in order to uptake sufficient quantities of calcium. And then, you need to get plenty of calcium. I've greatly increased my consumption of cheese and milk (for milk I only drink raw) lately. Have you ever visted http://www.westonaprice.org? It's an amazing site!
