I have mbd

I went to the doctor for my annual health check and I was told I’m dangerously low on vitamin D and I need to eat more green but other then that I’m good. I was so embarrassed when they told me my d3 was low, no wonder all the reptile supplements smells so tasty I’m deficient as f$@!

You need to dust your hot wings.

Geesh @JoXie411 ...hope it's fixed soon.

Same thing happened to me this year...my count was at 35 and should have been around 250. I did not feel well at all...thought I was going to die I felt so bad. I ended up having to get a terrible treatment for my bones to get them healthy again (worse thing I ever went through) and still have to take 50,000 units of D2 once a week. All I could do was laugh at it when I thought about it because it made me think of my chameleons...guess I took better care of them than I did myself! (Funny thing is...I don't just sit inside all the time but maybe too much in the winter...and in Canada we get less sun in the winter anyhow.)

Just get those UVB lights out and make sure you dust your food properly eh! Eat lots of things that contain calcium and D3 too! Do we have to make a slit for you?

Take your chams outside for some natural sun for the both of you.

 

[CamoChameleonsHuman]

Go outside more you vampire! I'm too outdoorsy to ever be d3 defecent. Helps when you're a mile closer to the sun too.

 

[kinyonga]

It's 6C here and pouring rain....not good chameleon weather.
Maybe it's better for @JoXie411 .
@JoXie411 do you spend much time outside?

 

[JoXie411]

But I love bacon

yeah my count is 18 I shamefully say my doctor is not happy with me at all that I’ve stopped taking care of myself. She had me on a crazy supplement schedule now to get my levels back up

No the sun hurts my eyes them my skin stays to tingle I don’t like it. I just sit in the shadows, I have lots of tree cover where I live.

 

[kinyonga]

You should still be getting some sun though even in the shade. Are you vegan?

We are still in the mid 20c so it’s not to bad but we are dropping to 8cbelow at night

ironically I’m outside a lot but I don’t actually go in the sun part, I like the shade

 

[kinyonga]

Maybe this will help...if you like mushrooms...

Are you fair skinned, fair eyed? Albino?

Ewwww never I could not live without pork

That made me giggle so hard and yes I’m fair skinned but not albino.

 

[kinyonga]

I don't understand why more greens although I do know that some plants have a bit of D2 in them.

 

[JoXie411]

There was a low count in one of the panels that has to do with greens idk I just do what my doctors tells me to do but everything she said explained why I feel so blah.


It’s like you said we take such good care of are chameleons and we completely forget about ourselves.

 

[kinyonga]

Good idea to do what the doctor says! Hope you feel better soon!

 

[Tony_S]

Hmm, I hope you feel better. Along with dusting the bacon and going outside for some sun. If you fill out the form we can go over your husbandry setup.

You're probably sitting under one of those compact UBV bulbs.

 

[MissSkittles]

I get the aversion to the sun...just one reason why I work nights.
