In the winter time both my thyroid level and vitaminD levels "bomb" downwards .
GP checks for this via blood test .
I need to increase my thyroxine meds and have to take calcichew D3 Forte .
GP tests me in late oct or early nov and then again end of january or febuary to check
my levels .
Each year both have had to be titrated up in dosage .
I "do" tend to NEED sleep "more" during the winter season .
Feeling more groggy in the mornings and thus taking longer to get going energywise .
I certainly do feel the benefits of more sunlight and daylight hours .
It makes the diabetes weariness harder a journey in the winter season I have found .
Wonder if others have experienced this ?
