I also started on my Vit D. My level was only 23 with the range being 30-65 I think. I am nervous about this though. She wants me to take a mega dose of 50,000 IU's once weekly for a few weeks and then go to a smaller maintenance dosage once my level comes up. What do you guys think of this? I don't want to go toxic on this stuff.

Any input would be appreciated.

I have had problems with my Vit D levels too. The 50,000 dose is exactly what I have had to take to get my levels back up. (I have to do it periodically cuz for some reason my levels keep dropping.) I am now on 1200 i.u per day and it seems to be keeping me within the range even though it's at the bottom. My theory is that if you are in doubt, get another medical opinion. Do you like your docs? If so, check in with them and ask your ?'s...that's what they are there for.

Best of luck to you & sending you warm hugs for relief!

How did you feel taking the 50,000 IU weekly. And how long did you do this?

Linda

Despite my taking the vit d continuously, my levels seem to drop every winter even if I am going outside. LOL

Let me know what the doc says when they call you back.

I see my doc again in 8 weeks and she will retest my D at that time. Should be interesting to see what the level does. And even more interesting to see what it does as winter approaches.

This is interesting about vitamin d. Sorry it would not make a link.
