    Please let me know, when talking about your results, are you talking about Vit D 25 Hydroxy?

    Also, would appreciate reply from anyone.

    thanks

      Yes. That's the standard blood test. It's what I had done. : - )

    Hi my doc has put me on Fultium D3 3200 iu per day following my blood results of 14, which seems a much lower amount than other people are on, I'm just wondering why? He gave me no advice accept to see him in a month (which is next week)  and take pain relief if needed, which is most definitely is.

    I can hardly do anything, have so much pain and tiredness, cannot walk very far at all, sometimes can't even hold my knife and fork.

    What advice do folks have? x
