Neuropathy due to malabsorbsion?

You're welcome.

Re the D---50,000 once a week proabably isn't enough. I take that much every DAY. And you also need to be certain it's a 'dry' formulation of D-3, not D-2.

 Yes, I know it is dry D. This was a prescription, do you think it would be safe to wait the month then have the tests repeated and if they are still low argue the point that I need more. Or, take more on my own now and how can I get ahold of that many units for consumption without a prescription?

If it's prescription D, then it's D-2---D-3, which is what you NEED, isn't available by prescription. (Call your pharmacist if you doubt me.)

It would be safe to wait, but---with your BPD, you malabsorb nearly all the fat you eat, so you're also malabsorbing most of the D you eat. Your levels aren't going to rise without aggressive supplementation. How often will your insurance company pay for lab work?

You can order the 50,000IU dry D-3 from Vitalady.com---it's a OTC supplement.

 Not sure how often the blood work can be done. I am taking this into my own hands and ordering it from vitalady as you suggested. Then take one a day, correct? Before I order, is there anything else you see from my results that may need tweeking? I will place one order with whatever I need.
Whether this is the answer to the problems I am having or not I don't know, but  these issues and doses need adjusting no matter what.
Thanks for your input.

Are you currenly taking any A? It too needs to be a 'dry' formulation, and if your D is falling, your A probably is, too. Most DSers take 25,000 units of A a day as well. You might want to start off taking that less often, or at a lower dose, until you have your next labs.

 MsBtts,
my A level was 53. Right in the middle of norm, by the labs levels. just noticing that the e's are broken down to alpha and beta do you know why?

No, I don't---I don't think I ever noticed that.

Watch you A, then,and if it starts to drop, even a little---start supplementing. It's much easier to keep it up than to raise it after the fact.

Anna,

You have gotten excellent advice from Sharyn and Ms Batt.

I just wanted to chime in and tell you that I suffered 'foot drop' with a B12 level of over 600, I think it was 614 or something close.  I do shots now, I get the Rx and do them myself.  I try to keep my B12 level between 1500 and 2000.

What I really want to say is that YOU need to know what your levels should be and supplement to keep them on the high side of normal.  i.e., if the lab says they need to be between 30-100, shoot for 80 or so.  It it very important that YOU know what is going on and track these things yourself, that way you will know what you need to do rather than depending on someone who won't even mention things until they are so low that you are in trouble..

Good luck and I hope everything turns out OK!
