My doctor has done the same thing put me on 50,000 units of vitamin D per week for 12 weeks. They then checked my level. I think it was up to 50 they were happy and told me to just continue taking 1200 mg of calcium and 800 mg of vitamin D per day. I am a 51 year-old woman, and my last bone scan did show that I had osteoporosis. So in addition to the heavy-duty vitamin D for 12 weeks, I also had to take reclast. It is a once a year IV med for osteoporosis.

The lab my doctor uses has the normal range at 30.0 to 70.0 (ng/mL), my level is like 20 or 25 ng/mL. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have been taking 1200 IU's of D-3 a day for a month, I get it re-checked this week. Tim c5-c6, 21 yrs. post http://www.whoopiekat.com/CrocksCrib/index.htm
