For those taking Vit D supplements
I happen to take Vit D3 supplements and I presume many others on this forum do also. I knew about the adverse affects of taking too much Vit D3. So I do not take them every day. I take them 5 times a week during the winter months and then 3 times a week during the summer. But I did NOT know taking

Looking for advice for my husband
Hi, My husband has been feeling extremely fatigued with a foggy brain for months. He finally went to the GP at the beginning of the year as he was also having some stomach issues. He had several blood tests and fecal tests. He got normal results on everything except severely low vitamin D and high

My calcium level appears low within bone profile blood tests. Are these an accurate representation I wonder?
Diagnosed with osteopenia after having Dexa scans in 2016 and 2023 and breaking wrist and arm in separate incidents of slipping on ice. My concern is that when my calcium is tested via bloods, it comes back as being borderline low even though I’m taking 900mg calcium citrate per day and ingest another

Frequent injuries when exercising.
I have been hypo for about 10 years, currently on 75mcg levo, and 10mcg lio but drop to 5mcg twice a week, otherwise my heart rate goes up from 60’s to 90’s. TSH 0.01, FT4 16.1, FT3 4.6, both 41% through range. Vit D 85. I find if I do even pilates, ligaments and bursae get easily inflamed. Eg an ankle

GP appointment went well!
So I had a follow up appointment about my latest blood results… vitamin D was at 174 and ferritin at 43.5 ug/L (20.0 - 130.0) My GP was not concerned about my vitamin D level and said resume at whatever I am taking as it’s not a toxic level 🤷🏻♀️ The ferritin level however he agreed is in range but
