Maybe fragmin or lovenox? Although I see something about vit k and rickets in the shadows of your question. Do you take calcium with vit d for osteoporosis or the rickets? Do you take a daily multivitamin? Make sure to get a good amount of sun exposure to replenish vitamin D. Do you take vitamin injections? Where are you from?
