12/17 Condition Update

Aside from being a little tired, I’m doing well tonight. I find I go in spurts. Sometimes I feel quite good. Other times I feel tired. Coffee is proving to be a great help. Not that I drink a lot. At most I sometimes drink two cups a day. I drink one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I think I will try it more when I’m suffering from the side effects of Neulasta.

I’m still doing my tanning salon therapy. My goal is to go twice a week. I asked the manager how much sunshine I’m getting. She said it is hard to say, but one minute in the tanning booth is the equivalent of six minutes in the sun. Since I do four minutes each time I go, that gives me the equivalent of 24 minutes of sunshine each time.

From one source I have come across that should give me 10,000 to 12,000 units of vitamin D. Most over the counter vitamin D supplements are about 400 units. That’s quite a difference. Since Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, I’m guessing that twice a week is sufficient.
