Hi Auntie Audrey,

Thanks for that link, useful information there. A year ago I wasn't even online, hadn't been since dial-up days so finding and sorting relevant information for huge topics is daunting - especially with my eyesight and memory issues.

What I am aiming at is to break the Circle - every year I am deficient, GP throws supplements at problem for 8-12 weeks as D levels rise, but so do calcium levels (alarmingly). D levels then decline over next few months until I'm deficient again at next annual review.

Enforced, unchangeable lifestyle is reason for not getting enough sun, diet has improved greatly this year and can improve further for this, but found having no gallbladder is an issue. Constant supplementation is a No due to calcium build up caused by Diltiazem.

Why the heck is nothing ever easy for me?

Dave.
