Thank you for sharing, Pat. Your description is thorough and easy to
understand. I know each body is different but it's instructive to know
what you did and how it appears to have worked.
At what latitude do you live? Which country/state, what part N-S?
Because of reports similar to yours and reading the mega doses
prescribed by MDs to get levels up to their "normal," I've switched to a
5000IU capsule/day. Of course, this last week seems like the first
extended spot of sun since before Christmas--northern Indiana, USA.
The blood test is on my list but until I have the money, I'm
supplementing more than before. Even tho' I suspect D3 to be the latest
soy/margarine to come our way. I'd rather be wrong than fragile.

I was disappointed today to find out that my 25-hydroxy vitamin D test
showed my vitamin D level to be only 25. I was so sure it would be high that I almost didn't request one. Since last fall I've been taking at
least 1,000 units D3 plus the D3 in my multivitamin and calcium pills.
When the day is warm enough, I go out with a jacket and shorts to get
some sun. It's been a very cold winter for here, though.
I'd gotten my level up two years ago from 14 in February to a near ideal 55 in
the summer by taking 2,000 units D3 and then lying in the sun 20 minutes two or
three times a week as soon as weather allowed.
Have any of you had the vitamin D blood test? I've heard that in the
north in the winter, even if you lie outside naked at noon, you can't
get any vitamin D because of the angle of the sun. (Plus you'd be a
popsicle!)
