400 IU.... is this correct?
There is a very complete Vit D thread over at BrainTalk. I suggest you
read over there...first page of the Vitamin Forum.
400IU will do nothing. Also it depends on the form you take. If it is D2
(ergocalciferol) it will be even less effective.
Very deficient patients are usually given 50,000 IU weekly for a few months, retested, and typically 2000 to 4000 IU daily (preferably D3 cholecalciferol).
Some patients take 10,000 IU daily. I myself use 2,000 IU D3 daily.
I don't think low Vit D causes PN, but it does seem to relate to chronic pain issues in general and appear in those who have chronic pain syndromes.
