WHEN TO RETEST VITAMIN D LEVELS?
by DIANNE S.
(NEW YORK)
I JUST HAD A BLOOD TEST AND MY VIT D LEVEL WAS APPROX. 20. MY MD TOLD ME TO TAKE 2000 UNITS OF VITAMIN D. WHEN DO I GET RETESTED AFTER STARTING MY NEW REGIMEN.
AFTER YOUR ARTICLE I WAS THINKING OF UPPING IT TO 5,000 UNITS SINCE I AM HAVING SYMPTOMS OF PAIN IN FINGERJOINTS (RA AND LYME DISEASED RULED OUT).
I AM 50 YEARS OLD (BUT A YOUNG AND VERY ACTIVE GYM RAT)GOING THROUGH MENOPAUSE. I TAKE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS AND HAVE INCREASED MY VITAMIN D FOR 2 DAYS NOW.
THANK YOU.
