Sarge you remember when I was saying i had muscular skeletal problems a while back?
not arthritis but I was having gout from not drinking enough water. years of going hours without a **** and not drinking anything so i don't have to pull over every hour built up uric acid crystals in my was one problem.
A while ago the doc put me on allopurinol for a few months.
Its been a while since I was on them but that and drinking water before I go to bed and letting my kidneys work more when I'm layign down has gotten my blood uric acid levels normal.
I still had these bad pains like shin splints all over my body. Muscles hurt and were stiff like I had lockjaw or something
II could feel pains where my muscles attatched to the bones too
I had that skin rash problem as well
I went through a load of bloodwork recently and I have no infections bloodwork was clear, no cancer thyroid normal...
But I was way low on vitamin D and I drink milk
Looked it up on the net and being fat soaks up all your D
Also I don't work outside so much anymore
So I have been on 1000iu D3 for about 6 weeks now. that with the exercise I'm getting on this new job... I'm starting to feel really good like I havn't in a long time.
I'm flexible again and i'm not all crippled up with pain like a clenched up 80 year old wrestler anymore. still hurt but no where near as bad.
And the skin problem...psoriasis. that's all
I never thought I would have thought of osteo porosis as much as I eat and I've never had a broken bone, not even laying that semi over at 70 mph.
Not really that but low D weakens the bones and they get damage where the muscles hook in
So things are looking pretty good right now, the word is optomist
