She says its very low -this despite me taking some Vitamin D supplements already. I feel she is really onto something here. Still, I asked her to lower the prescription dosage some and then raise it later, because I fear taking such high levels of anything might be too much too fast.

So, I will be taking 5000 mg of vitamin D per day and then return in 2 months to get my levels read.

Does anyone here know if my Vitamin D levels (of 15) is really a concern?
Please help. I appreciate any advice.

On a positive note, I feel this doctor is really trying to help me, and indeed, it seems she already found something that many other doctors have overlooked, including 2 neurologists.
Hi jesse
I was told by my nutritionist optima levels are between 40-60. My levels were 31,she told me to take 2000 a day. I took 5000 a day for over a yr. My levels only went up to 32. Don't worry abou taking too much ur levels are way too low. If ur Dr gives u a rx take it!
u can take up to 10,000 iu on ur own. Low vit D, can cause osteoporosis, bone pain, cancer among others! Hope this helps
