<p>Good morning.  In a few minutes, I will head out to my team captain's house for the drive to Chattanooga for the relay.  Our start time is 12 noon.  My first leg should be around 2:30 or 3pm this afternoon.  Whee!</p>

<p>Morning Folks,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>End of the week, end of another business trip, and time for the weekend. Just three more working days until Monday. One more trip this year. By mid December I will have been away from home 147 days this year. I never would have thought I'd be doing this at this stage of my life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Trails,</p>
<p>Rob</p>

<p>Rob- that's a lot of travel!</p>
<p>Jebba- Have a great time!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish I could say I would catch up on sleep on the weekends, but yeah right, LOL. I will enjoy that extra hour Sunday though.</p>

<p>Does vitamin D help?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been using one of these instead of a neti pot (looks too much like a teapot, don't know why that bothers me!):</p>
<p> </p>

<p>The sinus rinse will help too. High dosages of Vit D are really good at fighting bugs. There was a study that also found Vit D more effective than the flu vax!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I texted my friend and said i could walk with the jogger, but not run and she said she was having nap issues and was going to have to bail, LOL. Not sure if i will walk or whatever today. We shall see. Just ate lunch. Yum.</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>How high of doses? I take 2000 mg D, and there is 630 D in my calcium+D supplement.</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>Depending where you read your info, anywhere from 10,000 IUs up! There was one paper that said 2,000 iU for every Kg of weight! eek.</p>

<div><i>Take 2000 iu of oral vitamin D per kg of body weight (or about 1000 iu per lb of body weight) This is taken as one large dose every day for 3 days. This should abort the illness</i></div>

</div>
<p>I generally take 10,000-20,000 IU when sick per day.</p>
