After feeling great for a few days I decided to treat myself to a shopping spree on Thursday. I also needed a break from cooky making and holiday decorating. Banana Republic was having a great sale and I needed some winter white cords to go with a suit jacket which I've had since 1978. (I recently gave away the pants from that suit, because my post menopausal expanded waistline could no longer fit the waist of the trousers.) I enjoyed shopping at several stores and even got a really cheap sale turtleneck tee at J. Crew. However, by the time I headed home I felt very tired with sore throat, runny nose and sinus pain.
I'm uncertain whether those cold symptoms resulted from cutting my vitamin D (from 6000 to 4000IU for a few days or from decreasing my LDN dose (from 3.0 to 1.5mg). Both of those supplements help immunity. I'm also running low on my arabinogalactin, which fights viruses. So I take a bit less than 2 teaspoons daily. I also read that consuming excess sugar lowers immunity. I sampled my Christmas cookies each day I baked those last week. Whatever the cause, my immunity was compromised. So I increased my vitamin D yesterday and today. Fortunately I still have normal regularity. I fear increasing the LDN will cause hyperthyroid symptoms. I'll get more Arabinogalactan tomorrow and continue taking that 2x daily. I'll just remain at the higher Vitamin D dose for a few days before I change anything else.
