Please let me know what you think. On the doctor putting me on D3 supplement I am not sure why she had me put on it she just said my test showed I was low, but it might have been a good thing I think as 3 months later I had to go in as I had a bone spur in my neck and chronic arthritis in my neck area.

That's really good she put you on vitamin D3 then if you had chronic arthritis and a bone spur in your neck, as vitamin D3 definitely helps with those.
For people with arthritis (and perimenopausal and post-menopausal women) I've seen 40 ng/mL recommended as the lower target.
I would've thought the 25-hydroxy D2 and 25-hydroxy D3 numbers should add up to the 25-hydroxy D numbers.
