I can't say I'm surprised, kids tend not to go out these days and they live on processed food so I don't know why the Drs are surprised by this.
On a separate (related) note, I've been diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency which is causing no end of problems at the moment, but can I get the medication needed to help with it, can I hell. I've been after Ergocalciferol now for the last 3 months, hassling my GP and consultants but they are just arguing over who's going to supply it. Chemists won't get it in as it has to be imported from France so that ramps up the costs. Boots has it, but only the 1000 parts per unit stuff, I need 50,000 parts per unit stuff that this country has a problem supplying. Has anyone else here been on or had Ergocalciferol? I'd like to hear other stories if possible as I'm at wits end.
Anyway, linky
