Maybe some of you remember me posting my leg covered with urticaria. My skin felt like a wet sponge and thought the layers will separate if I´m rubbing it.
On Sept. 15th I received the news that my Vitamin D level is still borderline low after taking Vit. D, 2x a week 20000 I.E.
With no answer from the hospital, I suppose to be admitted between Aug 30th and the first week of Sept. no new advice from neither my oncologist nor my neurologist and for sure no appointment to see a hematologist I read up on mast cell and vitamin D.
After reading many papers I found a very confirming one. Then I shifted gears while I remember past experiences about being on the beach and in the wintertime sauna and solarium.
This evening at 7 pm I took a very hot bath, since I have no access to a sauna, lotion all places with urticaria on my body with Calcipotriderm, took a ½ of antihistamine and went to bed at 7:30. I woke the next morning up after 12 hours of sleep feeling a bit more energized. The same morning I went to a tanning studio, and I started carefully with 8 min in the solarium. So far I have repeated this procedure 3 times and I can report that my urticaria reduced by 40 %.
But more fascinating is my clouded vision is also slightly improving. On top of all my energy level is astoundingly better. I can do things now I would have only dreamed of a month ago. My muscles are less weak and my spine is not forcing me to sit after standing for 10 minutes as it has for the last 20 months. On top of all, I can eat a bigger variety of food now without an allergic reaction.
Oh, one more - my anxiety is way down. In other words, I´m coming alive again.
I will continue on this path with solarium and report whatever happens.
