The reason docs don't worry about it is because it is small potatoes to them. In their opinion, Vitamin D status doesn't impact patient outcomes, according to clinical research. That is why my new primary wouldn't even order a Vitamin D test for me and rattled that fact off to me, even though my last test showed that my Vitamin D is in the 20's.

Clearly my primary doesn't have body wide burning and pain, like I do. And clearly she is not interested in trying to optimize every small thing she can, like I'm trying to. I'll order my own Vitamin D test from else where.
