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.

This is reprehensible.... to test and then give you that advice!
Very poor advice!
You need high dose intervention, until you get your levels up.
This involves D3, perhaps 5000 IU daily. Then retest.
The 50,000 IU capsule sometimes used by doctors is the very OLD D2 formula, which is very inefficient.
There is a website to explain this:
http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
Some people need more than 5000 IU D3, but I will not recommend that here without "a" doctor's supervision.
Once at normal levels, 2000IU D3 may be enough. But you only will know that with testing. The tests will show if you become normal. One other thing: I'd recommend D3 supplements that are liquigel caps, not powder. These are absorbed better.
