Letter from endo

My first letter from endo

[Clutter]

Dawnuk,

I would ask your endo for the lab ref ranges of your results next next time you are in clinic.

VitD 62 is sub optimal. 75-200 is replete and most people are comfortable with vitD around 100. I would supplement 5,000iu D3 daily for 6 weeks and then reduce to 5,000iu alternate days until April when ultraviolet light is high enough to stimulate natural vitD.

Already on 5000iu daily for couple months now x

[dawnuk in reply to Clutter]

They said beginning number for normal range is 50 but that seems low

[Clutter in reply to dawnuk]

Dawnuk,

As your endo didn't provide a range I used the replete range commonly used.

I would agree with Clutter, you need vitamin D higher, around 100.

Mine has taken over 6 months to slowly climb from 32 to 99 on 6000iu daily. I am only now slowly reducing dose. I take mix of Solgar soft gels and Better You oral vitamin D mouth spray - this mouth spray seems to work better for me, but I have confirmed poor gut absorption issues (often the cause of low vitamin D, as not getting any from diet)

This vitamin D app is very useful

vitamin-d-pro.com

Costs ablout £1.50 to download. Put your personal data from blood test results in. Calcium and PTH too, if you have them. Produces graphs of progress over time & where you are now. Very good for printing off and showing endo/GP that actually 62 is low
