Dry D 50,000 IU source

Aha...to keep me at the low end of normal, I'd go through a bottle from ProHealth every six to eight days.  That would get "costy."

If you take a lot less, it makes sense.

 I have posted stuff in a conversaton between Beemer and me that y'all might take as gospel.  It's what I do, and I'm healthy in terms of my *own* nutrition and condition.  The other medical issues I'm dealing with makes what I do necessary.   It may not be right for you.

Some folks may need to or have to take 50,000 IU's of
Vitamin D every day.  Once a week, in addition to my multis, calcium and food, works for me. There are other separate vitamins that I take, at levels that may not be good for everyone.  In fact, I do different things with the ADEK's that are NOT the norm for most DSers.  Believe me, I was taking far less than that early out, and had it not been for two of the most dedicated, excellent physicians I know,  I might be six feet under right now.

I can't possibly know what works for you.  Everybody's different.  I have other chronic conditions that come into play in terms of my vites, minerals and nutritional needs.  An effect of any of my prescription drugs may mean that I have to *NOT* take as much of one thing as someone else, or that I have to take three times the usual dose for a DSer.  The DS made it possible for me to be able to take medication *and* have it work.   Prior to that, the only thing that worked for me was prednisone.

There are exceptions to every rule.  If I were not following instructions according to my individual case, I'd be dead from either vitamin toxicity/deficiency or malnutrition. 

I do two 28 oz double scoop protein shakes a day in addition to eating meals and snacks.  I would never recommend that to anyone.  It's not the DS surgeon's fault that my body does what it does.   If you blame anything, blame genetics and SLE.  

The post-prednisone benefits of my DS outweighed the risks and complications, of which struggling to keep my weight *up* now is one. My PCP doc says without the loose skin, I'd likely be somewhere around 155-160., which she says, at my age, and with my conditions is a good weight for me. The only way I get prednisone now is if I have to be hospitalized because of a flare.

What you see on lists is *typical* for people with no issues other than the DS.  I'm definitely not that...make sure you check with your own docs before you do something posted here.  There is probably a good reason you're *NOT* (or are) doing it! 

In case you're interested or someone else reading this is.  You can get the same 100 count bottle on amazon for $19.99 and if you spend at least $25 the shipping is free.  That's the best price I've found so far for the dry D.

WOW!!! That IS good!  

Jazzbabe,  do you have to post everything in that silly big font? 

I like the font. It's easier to read for those who have vision issues, like me.

Am I a sick beeach?  Yessiree, Bob!  

Sick, but I try to be  respectful of people here.   If you don't want to read it, that's OK by me.
