Calcium and electrolytes
A resolution?
The main electrolytes in the blood are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. And then there's the water variable.
It's pretty common for people to report high calcium symptoms when starting vitamin K. What if the increased production of osteocalcin (from the A/D/K combo) increased the calcium concentration of my blood, which made me suddenly really thirsty and dehydrated? Would my skin showed it first?

balancing vitamin A
Things are changing
Remember, I started with decent vitamin D levels, and now I've increased my vitamin K, in the form of HVBO, and it's helping with fatigue. It appears my days of exhaustion are very highly correlated with vitamin A intake. Including today. I'm thinking the A is using up the K in ways that don't give me more energy. Like mineralizing bone and tooth enamel.
This morning, the palms of my hands seemed extra dry and almost chapped. Mostly around the edges and on… Continue

Vitamin K, fatigue, and mineralization
My next experiment:
I think I have decent/good vitamin D levels, based on testing and fairly high dose supplementing. I think I have woefully low vitamin A levels, based on the lack of preformed vit A in my diet, and my aversion to cod liver oil. I was assuming that my vitamin K2 levels were decent, based on the massive quantity of Kerrygold butter that I consume.

Biotin, fatigue, and acidosis
I have a partial biotinidase deficiency. I only know cause I asked my doctor to test for it, and I only thought to do that because biotinidase deficiency is associated with Accutane use. And I was on Accutane 10 years ago. Biotinidase is the enzyme that recycles biotin, and deficiency is treated with high doses of biotin. I tried increasing my biotin from 5mg/day to 40mg, with the intention of tapering down to find the right dose. And not only did morning sickness kick in the next day, but my… Continue
Joint nutrition
The first posts are always the hardest, right? So I'll just jump on in with no introduction or lead in :)
I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant. I've been having fun trying to minimize my discomforts with nutrition, figuring that can only be good for the baby. The latest project has been connective tissue. The symptoms I'm looking at are my creaky knees (which started a few months after dd, age 3yo was born), ouchy pubic symphysis, popping back, and major abdominal separation (diastasis recti).… Continue
