    Hi Ranger,

    So here is my update, I tested my vitamin d and it is at a very concerning 22ng/ml after sunbathing 45min a day from mid April to end of August. I started out at 20ng/ml. I will go back to the doctor in two weeks to get the 1,25 OH active form vitamin d tested and see if that is high.

    Which means my symptoms are probably not caused by low vitamin d but indicating chronic disease and inflamnation. My parathyroid was normal but calcuim was border line high 9.8. I will keep an eye out for that.

    My rhuematologist thinks I have either chronic fatigue or fybromyalgia.

    Anyways since winter is around the corner I found out that fish eggs and or salmon roe is a good source of vitamin d. 1 tablespoon contains 17,000iu vitamin d. Something to consider in your diet.
