The votes are in, and this year's diagnosis goes to...

[cabenson]

Severe Vitamin D deficiency, iron-deficiency anemia and hypothyroidism.

I rock!! The only thing it doesn't explain is my cough, but we'll see if it fades away as I start on supplements.

But at least we have a plan of action, and hopefully, within a few months, I'll be back to my old self again.

Gonna have to give up the pasty white girl look this spring. I know you are all disappointed.

cabenson, I haven't been commenting much on LJ lately, but I have been reading your updates, and I am so glad that you've got some answers. Now come visit me in Australia and enjoy some sunshine! :) I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*

WHEW! It must be a huge relief to you & the missus to know what it is.

I'm glad it's something that can be rectified fairly easily. Work the tan, baby!

(I know you are not keen on fish, but salmon is a great source of vitamin D.)

You can stay pasty as long as you are healthy and it sounds as though you are on your way!

Finally! So glad to hear the verdict has come in and a rather favorable one at that, considering the various possibilities that had been tossed about. Toss down those supplements and go girl!
