Low vitamin D and Corona Virus

[MaryF]

Hi, a few papers here to read, if you feel your D could be low, do talk to your GP and or main consultant by phone or video, to get their advise on increasing your dose if appropriate, or taking it under the guidance of your specialist or GP if not on it.

In addition Vit C has found to be useful, and it appears to be written up that a dose which does not exceed. 1000 mg is ok with Warfarin, but above that can cause a problem. However do still check with the GP and consultant, also a good idea to split the Vit C dose into twice a day rather than all at once. MaryF

Thank you for sharing. I am running low on my D pills. I will now prioritize restocking them. Hope all are doing well across the pond.

I have not taken vitamin C with warfarin as I take 10mg warfarin a day, though do occasionally have an orange J2O 😀

Yes, very important, especially if on Warfarin to get it checked by the GP or specialist before considering adding anything in, even vit C. MaryF

Have you seen 5he you tube videos from dr John Campbell in the uk, nursing professor I believe. He does a daily video and sometimes ,ore on covid and supposed a vitamin d deficiency made illness course much worse. Anyway he is very interesting, not APS related though
