I started taking 10,000 iu a day in May 2014.. I took until 2019 to get my plasma up to 47 ng/ml. In another two years i reached 86 and the next test was 80. It's been stable at 80 for about 2 years now. My last test I stopped taking it 3 weeks before the blood draw and my D plasma dropped to 72. The doctor said to continue. At first I read your post.as 5 pills of 6,000 each. Vitamin D and the Immune System, Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought: A Historical and an Up-to-Date Perspective

Sorry for the confusion on that. Thanks for the articles.

Years ago I took prescription Vit D, I think 50,000 IU a day for awhile, I lived in the Midwest at the time & low D is common there, and I stayed on it & was tested frequently until it was in ‘normal range’. Since then (maybe 15 years) it has remained just under or at bottom of “normal”, none of my regular or FM doctors seem to care. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think I am going to ask about D3 again. I mean my bones are deteriorating rapidly, I have some deficiencies, and I need to do whatever I can, I have 1 hip in the Osteoporosis category and I turn 60 next month so I need to take all of this seriously since my doctors do not. 
 

I have even thought of trying Ketovore or Carnivore to see if my body absorbs more nutrients. My recent endoscopy shows that my villi are just now starting to grow, so I am hopeful things will start to improve. I believe I have been a lifelong Celiac and only found out in my 50’s, so there is a lot of damage & healing to be done. I have to take a PPI which ruins mineral absorption. 😑I have several stomach/esophagus issues, some genetic anomalies and have not been able to avoid taking PPI’s. 😑 I was on AIP diet and that helped tremendously! I highly recommend it! 👍🏼

Now that your gut is healing you will start to absorb more.  Your location in the midwest puts you in the Goiter belt so a good chance you are deficient in iodine. 

It seems that doctors can only prescribe vitamin D2 which is half as effective as D3. It's an insurance thing.

It is hard to find 10,000 IU D3. PipingRock.com carries it in 250 capsule bottles for less than $15 best price I've found for vitamin D.

"Vitamin D2 is still prescribed to people with low vitamin D levels, because it’s more readily available in higher doses. There was a time when these two forms of vitamin D were thought to be equivalent and interchangeable. But now we know this is not entirely the case. Evidence shows that D2 is actually less effective at raising vitamin D levels, and has a shorter duration of action than its D3 counterpart. So while both can be used as a supplement, D3 seems to be slightly superior to vitamin? D2.https://www.goodrx.com/well-being/supplements-herbs/vitamin-d2-vs-vitamin-d3-whats-the-difference

Hello. I was wondering if anyone else freaks out when they walk down the bread aisles in a store. I wear a covid mask just in case or am i being silly.

My grandson slapped a small pile of flour on the table as my daughter in-law was baking. I got exposed and was miserable. It was airborne

A reminder we cannot live in a house that uses flour.

Thanks, I’ve been taking sublingual D3 & need to order, so I will try piping rock! I live in Southeast now & get a good amount of Sun, but yes, Goiter belt. 👍🏼 Started some iodine liquid, not much because I have not tested and don’t know much about it. I’m more concerned with living in my house & car and never anywhere else because of the air particles of gluten that get me sick.

I get my iodine by eating a sheet of nori with my breakfast coffee. It takes 3 sheets for the RDA 125 mcg. The upper limit is 1100 mcg and the Japanese eat three times that.
