Hi,
I went for my quarterly check-up a few days ago. As I mentioned in a post last weekend, the results were all OK (and thanks to those who posted supportive replies) except for vitamin D, which was 28. The doc said the level should be nearer 100, and 25 marks the point at which it's labelled "deficient".
He prescribed a vitamin D supplement, Colecaliferol 800iu tablets, with a dosage of 1/day and said he'd like to see me in 6 months.
I'm now wondering what to expect when the supplement kicks in. I'd been feeling generally below par and tired for a while but I'd put this down to the winter (I've never been a lover of the dark nights and cold weather). Now I'm hoping it's due to my vitamin D levels.
Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, can you tell me what an increase in your levels did for you?
