Ok so i'm ticking along, losing weight and feeling great. . everytime i have gone to the doctor for follow up she has drawn blood and has found vitamin D deficency and has prescribed Vitamin D 50,000units x 13 weeks. . well I have had this x 2 and now the last time she took blood and she has said that I have the most severest Vitamin D deficency she has ever seen and doesn't understand why. . . my PTH (parathyroid hormone) now is elevated as well, however, my calcium levels are perfect as is everything else except for the liver enzymes which are elevated but she attributes that to the surgery. . . so here i am taking Vitamin D in large doses Prescription once a week along with Vitamin D3 gummies every day. . . my bone density test is fine with just a bit of osteoartheritis noticable. . . what do you guys think? She says that if after this 3 months if the vitamin D has not gone up significantly, she'll have to do something else. . . what else is there? IV vitamin D??? anyone know?

My doctor told me to stop the 50000 units i was taking every week because of some recent research that he did. This is my regular doctor and not my surgeon by the way. I am definitely going to look in to the dry Vitamin d.

Also very important, the best way for your body to "soak up the sun" is thru your eyes! So lose the shades for 10 minutes a day, its easiest in the morning for me to look directly at the sun without it being too terribly painful.

DO NOT look directly at the son! You will go blind!
