Bitamin D update

In March I had my labs done.  My Vit D level was 20 which is low.  My surgeon was no help.  Margo on the 'Over Fifty Board' suggested I get a prescription for Calcitriol (Rocaltrol.)  I talked my primary into giving me the prescription.   I started taking it in June.  Also Vitalady suggested I started taking D3-50 (50,000 IU of vitamin D) for a short time till I get my numbers back up.  I started taking it a couple of weeks ago.   I had my D check last week with the primary.  His nurse called to say my reading was 40--according to lab report 32-100 is normal.  Vitalady suggested I aim for 70.  Just thought I would let everybody know there is hope for the Vit D problem.  Also, no one is as interested in our health as much as we are.   WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR OURSELVES.  The OH boards are a good place to do it.  Patricia   262/130 ( well close--I deal with regain daily) 5'1'

Good to hear from you.  I hope things continue to get better with your husband.  I continue to pray for him.  I know no insurance is a real problem.  Wanda, remember to take care of yourself.  Your health is very important for a lot of reasons.  First of all, you need to take care of yourself for yourself.  Then remember you need to take care of yourself for your husband.  I am sure he needs you healthy.    

I am so happy to hear about your Vitamin D levels.  I think about your problem often.  If anything has extra Vit D I take it because of your experience.  Are you coming to the dinner next Wednesday at O'Charley's?  I don't think I saw you respond to that thread.  Hope to see you then.

Good to hear from you.  Yes, Marvin & I are planning to be there next Wednesday. (There is always a posibility that DH will not make,  but I will.)
