Passing on that evidently adults are again showing with
low Vitamin D problems, and children are getting rickets
because of low Vitamin D.
Probably because people are staying out of the sun,
using sunscreen, not drinking milk. The sun and milk are
our main sources of Vitamin D (you'd take the
D3 Cholecalciferol plant one).
I tested too low (26?) and was told to take 3,000 IU's for
3 months, then will be tested again.
My significant other, who has Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS),
tested undetectable, he was told to take 10,000 IU's for
3 months, then will be tested again.
His rummy agreed with our Family Dr.
I got started because I'd went to the Dr. with very achy
bones/muscles and thought maybe arthritis or the like
was starting. After taking the Vitamin D for about
4 weeks I feel a lot better!
I've read that long-term high doses of Vit D can
be toxic (to liver?) so be sure to keep that in mind.
I wanted to pass this on because whether you have
arthritis or not, maybe getting tested for your
Vitamin D level, then taking Vitamin D if instructed
would end up being a big help.
