When did you last have your abs done? Sounds like you're deficient in something, maybe potassium...? If it gets unbearable, you should def go to the ER.

I had my last lab done at the end of July and i was low in vitamin D (very low) about 11 and is suppose to be around 85

the test did't showblow pottasium, but now that you mentioned my pottasium was low the day after my surgery and they gave me a shot..

The pain is bad, like when you did a lot of exercise..

You can try eating banana (half a banana a day) and that will give you a good dose of potassium. Otherwise it sounds like it might be time to talk with the dr. I hope you feel better.

I was feeling bad and they put me on mega doses of Vitamin D....like 50,000 units a week! My number was a 6!! Did they give you additional supplements? If it doesn't get better, I would call your doctor. Because we are not eating a lot we are missing vital nutrients so we have get them in. Btw...I hate taking Vitamins...I'm thinking about getting one of those pill boxes that my grandmother used to have just so I can keep up with all of them!! Hope you are feeling better soon!

Karnie - The pill box (w/ 7 days) makes taking the vitamins much easier. You don't have to open up each bottle every time you want to take a dose. Plus I can look at the pill box and see if I took mine that day or not. I had my 3 month post surgery labs and everything was good except I need more Vit D, but I was just low, not rock bottom like you.

Yeah, I am definitely going to invest in one! And hopefully my levels will go up! And congrats on your weight loss so far! I can't wait to be in the 2's!!

Hmmm, this sounds familiar. Gonna get my levels checked next week!

Definitely sounds like Vit D deficiency :(
