Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi Diane - I had the same news last week. No trace of vitamin D in my blood at all. I am taking that same dose of 50,000 IU twice a week. My PCP said that same thing about vit. D helping greatly with pain. I have malabsorption issues because of gastric bypass surgery. I've been advised that the prescription D won't absorb well in my system. This advice is from a lady I respect very much who has done tons of research on how vitamins absorb and what works for those having had any weight loss surgery. So I will soon be purchasing a dry form of the vit. D and taking that daily. As my biggest complaint is fatigue, I'm not sure how it will affect that. But lowering pain would be nice, too. I hope you have great results with your vitamin D trial. Jeanne in WI ok all i learned something new to day at the endocronolgist. he did some blood work on me a few weeks ago, a ton of tubes... today he tells me you are badly vit d. defincent. OKAY........... and.. well he told me that when a body becomes extemely vit D. defincent it can effect fibro even more. and he was really making since with all the musculoskeltal system and neuro pain. so now he is putting me on 50,000 units of Vit. D a day for the next 8 weeks, then we will retest and see how much relief i will get . he is in research so i am now one of his patients. diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
