Low Vitamin D

I just got my blood test results and my vitamin D level is lower than it was 1 1/2 years ago! I started this process back in 2012 then backed out. I started again now and had to have the tests done again. My vit. d is lower and my pth is higher. I did some reading and it says this could be hyperthyroidism and also talks about osteoporosis! I've been taking 2000 iu of D for over a year now. Now I'm afraid this will put my surgery in jeopardy! Has anyone else had this problem?

    Wow! Nice to see I'm not alone!!! I did go to my PCP and she put me on 5000 IU a day. I am at 26.7 for my D level. I am also having a bone density test tomorrow because my PTH level is high which could mean Osteoperosis. She said if that comes back positive, she will treat it aggressively. Yes gomekast I am from Minnesota! :)
