Default Mrs D - Vitamin Help?

Hi - do you get tired of being our expert on these - but so glad you are here.... !

Quickie - I've got a whole new team of docs - so far the ones I've seen are really on the ball - yea! (found a GI doc that understands gastropareis - which is awsome too).... I'll be seeing a pain doc and new neuro at end of month and the other two have run some tests already... just got my Vitamin D and B12 - on Vitamin D I think thats important cause I have osteopenia and osteroperosis, and severe disk pain (they can see the disks pressing on nerves in the spine and collapsing).... also, B12, which I assume neuro will want..

numbers:

B12 - 558 (range 200-1100)
D - they say its high - 66 (range 15-60) - does this make sense?

I still am on only ensure and boullion and a little bottle of baby food every few days (but thats just sweet potatoes so far - cant tolerate anything else - even fat free real chicken broth) - so taking supplements other then in the ensure is really tough on my gut.... (I dont eat "meals" - just sip on liquids during the day in small amounts)

Do you think either of these are significant? Would there be another vitamin I'm missing on the osteo side??? (one thing - Ensure is pure vitamins!)

Thanks for any suggestions
