Why a prescription? To be able to put it on insurance? We have bottles
of 5,000 IE at the drug and grocery store pretty cheaply.

Hello Pat,
I just completed a round to raise my D levels, and had the test done
yesterday. I will find out tonight how well I am doing.
I started at 17, after a month on 2000 IU a day the level rose to 25. At
this point my doctor put me on a prescription of 50000 IU for 12 weeks while
I continued the 2000 IU a day. I hope I am closer to 50 now.

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!)
