What dose and diet changes did you do?

  3,000u daily. Switched to AIP diet. Six months earlier had started. Started magnesium, b12, fish oil, Vit E. Now I take a 5000u/k2 combo. Now on LDN in addition That seems to be the final major piece to fully normal life.

The heaviest man in Mexico was bedridden for years. He was depressed, but besides being humongous, and trapped in a bed; one of his biggest complains was muscle aches. A doctor gave him vitamin D supplements and he said the pain went away. It made a bit of sence to me, but the amount of food this guy consumed daily was staggering. I just wouldn't think a person would be deficient in D with the amount of animal products this man consumed. I just assumed even though he never saw the light of day for 15 years. My point is it just suprised me. Antidotially, I have been depressed (dysthymia--low level) for a good 30 years, and found sunlight didn't help me. I don't eat a lot, but i'm not a vegetarian either. I actually feel better during the winter. I do have allergies though. According to my doctor, all he ever said about depression is "All my patients are different. Oh, my fee will be $----. Your depression is situational.". I know he is partially right. (He doesn't overcharge me compared to the horror stories I have heard here. I just believe most psychotropic drugs should not require more one office visit, especially if you are on a low dose, and not abusing them.)
