I've been taking vitamin D for years. I have never noticed any affect on my levels. May I ask what you are taking? Capsules or pills and what strength. I usually take a 4,000iu capsule every 3rd day, but the GP has prescribed me chewable Calcium and Vit D combined tablets. I'm none too sure that tablets will be as effective as capsules.
Mine give me a window and then usually call an hour before it starts!
Have just replied to myself as an update, having a cuppa and need to get back to work in a minute, just been to see Diabetic Consultant (at the Hospital) today for an actual face-to-face appointment.
Thank you. My first marriage was more like 12 years of wedded blitz........
Battenburgs have a habit of doing that
I love the Lake District, it was the go to holiday place when I was a kid living in Lancashire as it wasn't too far, we stayed at the Ullswater Hotel right on the lakeside and at the Rampsbeck Hotel, further down the lake but up on the hillside. Also at the Old England in Bowness. Plus youth hostelling trips as a teenager and camping when the kids were small. Most recently well at least 8 years ado, stayed in Cartmel on a Groupon deal
I'm not taking it at the moment. I've been told that its good for bones and muscles, especially during/after the menopause. My knees and hips are painful and i wondered if it would help. I
Not that I'm trying to advertise - but if you wanted to come again I have a lovely little School House here that sleeps two and only 20 minutes off the M6 at Shap. And if you climb Loadpot Hill from here you look down on Ullswater (or drive to Pooley Bridge in 15 minutes) 🙂
We’re very lucky to have it on our doorstep. Ullswater is just 20 minutes drive away. The last few years we’ve actually holidayed in The Lake District, first week in December, we go a bit further south. Hawkshead, Ambleside, Coniston, and this year we’re staying in Rydal betwixt Ambleside and Grasmere. We never use the car, we just walk from our holiday cottage. Because we’ve been to all the honeypots dozens of times we seek out quieter places to walk that we’ve never got round to on day trips. We still get excited even though we’re barely an hour from home. We never tire of it.
In my humble opinion everyone should visit Ullswater at least once in their life. We met two couples yesterday, One who’d been to Keswick and Windermere but never Ullswater and they were totally in awe of it. The other was a young couple who had never been to the Lake District they just couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. I was actually jealous, because I can’t remember the first time I saw it as I’ve been visiting it all my life. I still get awestruck now after 60 odd years. I think you’d agree Jo we’re very lucky living where we do.
You’re a right little honeypot yourself! 😉
It's certainly good for bones and muscles. Make sure you get the D3 capsules though. I have had good priced supplies from eBay.
You’re only saying that ‘cos it’s true. 😛
