When I used to work in an office I had a 2x2 fluorescent drop ceiling fixture directly above my head. I would get nasty headaches. Finally I pulled out the bulbs and the headaches went away.

Black (or others), how are you testing for levels of these various vitamins in your system? Some sort of self testing, or blood/urine in a lab? If lab, what’s the cost of doing this testing, as frequently as it sounds like you’re doing it?

I get two physicals a year through my doctor. He checks them with a bunch of other labs.
My next is in a couple of weeks so we shall see.

Each time they do some lab set that my insurance does not cover and it cost me $86. I am not sure which lab set that is but some are covered and some aren’t.

Yeah, your PCP can order what you need/want. Another option is free-standing lab outfits. They're all over the place...shouldn't be hard to find one. The drawback with those, is not having a trained provider to explain the results to you.

[slight drift]I had a yellow legal pad in my cubicle in a tray that was a few feet from a florescent light. Over time, something was stacked on the legal pad with an exposed area. That exposed area was "faded" compared to the covered area. [/slight drift]

I would not be surprised to learn that florescent lights can have negative impacts.

^^^^ I bet, if you do the same “experiment” but now with natural light (the sun, doesn’t even have to be direct), you’ll get the same result.
