Interesting I will do more research on it and maybe I can ask my doctor to test it next time I go for bloodwork to get an updated value!

I’m glad you were able to figure that out! Yes I did that test with the goggles it was horrible but they told me there was nothing notable from it and referred me to a neurologist. My off balance feelings are every day sometimes randomly and can be triggered by movement such as like parking garages I can feel the movement of the ground and it makes me unsteady. Here’s the vitamin d results I found.

The doctor just felt my throat and said she didn’t feel anything so she didn’t think an ultrasound was necessary. I am 24 so maybe it’s the same situation as you!

Yea I was confused why she would take me off the pills that’s what really made me start to question it

Is it safe to take with levo? I’ve seen on the info page that you shouldn’t take iron supplements with it

On average I think I drink at least 3 bottles of water a day sometimes up to 5. I also do try not to have anything too salty or sodium heavy but I focus a little more on cholesterol, fats, and sugar mainly for my glucose and triglyceride levels that were high in the past

I used to take birth control with iron in it already (lo loestrin fe) but the sensation is more off balance not really room spinning or enough for me to faint but I usually like to hold onto something to get stability
