This is a great article on how low Vitamin D could be linked to PCOS. Just thought I'd share.

What does PCOS stand for?

[RedDirtRoads 64]

Poly Cystic Ovarian Sydrome, it is a hormone/ metabolic imbalance characterized by multiple cyst on the ovaries.

Polycystic ovary syndrome.

I have BPPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). Think of it assort of a permanent vertigo. When it's under control I still have to be conscious of how I turn my head. Even sitting up and getting out of bed wrong can send me into the spins. There has been some research that suggest Vitamin D helps with cases of BPPV so even though my last bloodtest had my D levels within normal range I make sure to take my D's regularly.
