he wants me to have 1200 mg of calcium and 1000 of vit D a day. Anyone doing this? I need some help with this.
He didn't say this level was low enough to be causing my problems though. But he still wants my levels higher.

I did six months of prescription(50,000IU) high dose to get my levels up to normal (I was a 7!) and now do 2500 units a day of D3 to keep it at a normal level.
I work nights and don't get a lot of sun, but the doc said to get SOME sun daily without sunscreen and as much skin exposed as I could stand. I try to sit outside for 1/2 hour a day in the sun, summer or winter, without a coat, long sleeves, etc. even if I have to split it up into blocks! (I live in Maine and it gets COLD out there!)
