Tanya - yeah he saw a neurologist originally, but never an ENT. Maybe we should try that next time... but luckily most attacks are only a weekend or a week at most... and seemto be not TOO often. I hope you feel better soon, I'm sorry it's so difficult atm for you
pls don't beat yourself up. M is such a cute spark, and it sounds like she's been such a challenge to BF, which would have really contributed. As my LC said to me... it's not enough for ME to want to BF, it takes both of us to make it work. So maybe your supply had gotten low, but it would have been a heap of things to cause that, and I'm particularly thinking of how difficult she was to feed.... and maybe now the timing will just work out right that you can sort your meds, and she may hopefully gain a bit, and it will all be ok in the end. I don't know what grieving for BF'ing is like... I know about grieving for giving up pumping (which is just plain stupid
), so I hope you can grieve but also feel proud of yourself. You've done wonderfully well.
In regard to Vit D, I've been chronically low in this (think I had a measure of 13 at one stage?)... usually there isn't MAJOR health implications, but it's one of those vits that they're starting to say is important for wellbeing more than was previously thought. It can impact bone density (because there's an interdependency with calcium and Vit D) but unlikely to have done anything major at your age. They tested my bone density (partly cos of my food malabsorption) and mine was fine. They reckon most of the population are way too low in it, cos we all cover up to avoid skin cancer, but then don't get our Vit D from sunshine!!! Apparently we should run around in the nuddy at midday to get our Vit D up! hahaha.
It's also implicated with low mood, depression, anxiety, insulin resistance (important for diabetics) and a few other general "gosh you'll feel better if it's a higher" kinda wellbeing things I think. Sorry that's a bit vague, but that's what i can remember off the top of my head. When I was really low i felt like I had chronic fatigue or something like that... just felt tired & like total crap. So I dunno, you might find you feel better after some supplements? Or you might find no difference. Vit D lecture over now
Ok, gotta go sleep now, I'm stuffed
Georgi - woo hoo, awesome BJ had such a great time, can't wait to hear the wrap-up.
Life has been mad for about the past month or so but I am hopeful in catching a break sooner rather than later. 
(or maybe it's already done?) either way, you're doing a great job in tough circumstances. As for your side of things, well it's your body hun and you've gotta look after yourself at the end of the day - only you know what is right for you. Re the sppechy, if you don't mind, what did you see her for with Bethany? We're on the waiting list, and I'm trying to be super creative with foods :
but he's just refusing all finger food or anything remotely lumpy 
I can make everyone else clucky while i freak out!
