I went to the doctor in late December for my annual physical. The only abnormal test was low vitamin D, so she put me on an 8 week plan. Once each week I take 50,000iu that I had to get from a pharmacist, plus 2,000iu (over the counter) every day for 8 weeks.
I'm on week 4 now and don't feel any different and haven't had any side effects, but hopefully my level will be in the normal range when I go back. I have no idea why it would be low. I eat all kinds of foods that I've since found out have it, including drinking milk. We'll see how things go!
