I want to say THANK YOU to the commenters! I was so surprised to get more than 1 comment, lol. Thx for making my day! =)

How as your July 4th? We didn’t do anything, really. I’m hoping once I get to feeling a lot better that we can start to jump into *really* celebrating holidays and all that. Katie has been a hellion lately. I’M SO READY FOR HER TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL, OMGZ. I know some of you can relate, lol. All I’m hearing lately is, “You never let me do ANYTHING”, or “That’s not FAIR” …. -_- Nope, kid, life’s not fair!

I’M SO EXCITED for tomorrow! Background: I have been seeing a holistic person since late 2012 – a Naturopath. She has a degree in Naturopathic medicine, but did not go to medical school. I LOVE holistic medicine, since they want to get to the ROOT of your problem and not just cover symptoms with medicine. I also have respect for Western medicine too. Anyway, my holistic person has an MD that “heads” over her and helps her out sometimes. Well, that MD is the one that gave me the thyroid meds. Well, since I still haven’t figured out all this mess the MD wanted to run lots of blood tests so she could look at everything and HELP MEEEEEE (before it was mainly left up to my Naturopath to interpret results). The blood results all came in finally last week and I go in the morning to see her! The AWESOME part is that she used to practice family medicine (meaning she DID go to medical school) THEN she switched to the holistic, so she has LOTS of experience in both fields of medicine.

I got the blood work done through my insurance, so I didn’t have to pay for it and it also meant that I could see the results through my online account! My vitamin D is 31… it it supposed to be 50-70 or maybe even up to 80 or 90. I think I’ve had chronic low vit D and that may just be the root of my problem, since it is SUPER important to have proper vit D levels, for lots of functions in the body… including digestion! I have a handful of other low levels and I already know my B vitamins are low, but when vit D is low then the good bacteria in the gut is low and can’t absorb B vitamins properly. Time to boost that vid D and get these others levels up to par too.

Alright, time to get ready to head over to see my Mom for card game night! Hope everyone had an excellent weekend <3 I'll blog about my appointment possibly tomorrow, but I also have to finish my college paper so might blog later in the day or it might be Tuesday. Sending positive vibes <3
