Hello. Im 43 yrs old. I will start with I have a lot of medical issues and have always been a healthy being from physical labor to foods I ate to exercise. 5'10 120lbs most my life. Had a job doing highway maintenance and a coworker dropped a jackhammer on my head in 99'. Went into landscaping in 2010 and in 2011 woke one morning with what i thought to be a neck cramp sleeping wrong. Nope; herniated disc. Did a cervical fusion at 5/6 february of 2012 and said all looked great healing on xray. Continued to complain of severe pain and weakness. Surgeon kept ignoring it saying its perm nerve damage due to waiting surgery to long. Took a road trip to Florida from Nebraska and back. Both my husband and I having CDL's did the run both ways pretty quick. Big mistake for me. A week later spent 10 days in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism in each lung. Hematologist put me on warfarin indefinately with low dose aspirin for a MTHFR clotting factor. That was the following Sept of 2012. Still continued repeat followups with complaints of pain and weakness. Went to family doc in May 2013 exhausted, fatigued, bones hurt like the flu constantly. My Vit D was at a 7 and min should be 32. Now diagnosed with Vit D deficiency. 5k mg a day plus caltrate D. December 26th 2014 we were hit by a drunk driver. Went to same neurosurgery facility but requested a diff surgeon. After CT scan it showed no bone growth from prior surgery and herniated disc now at 6/7. She was ticked at prior surgeon to not do a CT to check for sure. She did surgery again even with a fatality rate at 70% due to the MTHFR and coming off warfarin and taking lovenox shots in stomach. Cant do ANY lovenox day prior to surgery because causes actual clot in the spine when surgery performed there making risk even higher of fatality. Well she did great. Came out and said the drunk that hit us made me realize pain more so because apparently since no bone grew the screws came loose in the titanium plate and my neck was highly unstable. She didnt use cadaver bone on this one. Ground my hip bone. Actually was the worst pain ever. A year later follow up xray showed bone healing. Vit D at 31 so fam doc ended vit d supplement just continue caltrate d. Another 3 months later still complaining of pain in neck n feels like will collapse forward and choking hard to swallow. Did CT and showed zero bone growth yet AGAIN! WHAT THE HECK?!?! She was asking what im taking. Asked why i stopped Vit D. Was ticked again. Now she sent me to an Endocrinologist. Suspects osteoporosis now. Been on 5k mg Vit D and caltrate 5 months now. Trying to keep bone density up to try surgery one last time. Well went to then again today and now ordered bone density test and says he wishes me to continue Vit D and Caltrate D and now wants to do the Forteo for 2 years then onto the Prolia after that. I will leave reply of this bone density test numbers and after use of each medication to see where exactly if any benefits helped or any side effects. Fingers crossed I live through the next surgery to report about end results but wont be for a while yet. Its necessary to keep my neck from collapsing and severing my spinal chord. Just so everyone is clear why i have to do surgery. Optomistic right? Lol.

Adana, Hi. I have been coming to this forum for 4 years now and have posted several times about my menopause "journey". I was about to post tonight on my lack of libido in the hope that someone may have a suggestion.I'm getting to the end of my tether to be honest. Like you I take Vitamins D and B and I also take Vitamin E. These seem to have helped with a lot of the other symptoms of menopause but nothing is helping my non exsistant libido.It's been this way for at least 5 years.I can't believe my long suffering husband hasn't left me. He's only 45 (8 years younger than me) and he should have a healthy sex life. The thought of another year like this is depressing. I will be reading up on the L-tyrosine as I've never heard about it. I'm sorry I can't help but, knowing this forum as I do, there will be an answer from someone.

rhizo, I told my endocrinologist about my problems with the pills and said I was sunbaking instead. She basically said that people in her profession would like people to get more sun exposure since vit d deficiency is really common now, but also said, if you talk to a dermatologist they're against it and all about skin cancer risks so even among doctors the attitude really varies. I don't think the injections are available in my country anyway, only the d3 pills, but I have read alot about sun exposure and I'm confident that I do it safely. I don't bake myself or anything, just get small amounts at a time which my endo is ok with. I figure if I have vit d deficiency then Im just not getting enough sun anyway and I have to admit I've probably been too cautious with sun exposure in the past.
