Is it sufficient the vitamin D pills I take?

[vivo1]

Recently, I have stiff joints, am tired, and I went to the GP to discuss if I might have rheumatism. We tested the vitamin D level and it appeared to be 23 nmol/l. But of course now we think it might be the deficiency. My G.P. prescribed 25.000 IE vitamin D pills weekly but I wonder if this is sufficient?

I have been taking vitamin D for 5 years now my platelet count has more than doubled . I take only 2,000 daily . Good luck to you

I also take 2,000 daily and my platelet count almost doubled. It’s always best to check with your consultants before taking it

I’ve been taking d as well and platelet count has risen to 109 in 4 months after dropping for the last 2 years

In the meantime I've had the weekly vit. D pills and all the symptoms of rheumatism disappeared miraculously..!
