Wow, what timing w/this thread, BG! I went out to the Univ of Iowa to the Osteoporosis/Bone disease clinic and the Dr did a Vit D study on me. I found out that I was very low on Vit D, so she put me of Ergocalciterol. It is a little green gel type pill that has 50,000 iu's of D. I will take one pill a week for 12 wks, then one pill every other wk until I see her next.

She said that low Vit D can cause all types of sx's etc. I also do the Boniva IV every 3 months for my Osteo.

I'm glad you started this thread~ I think Vit D deficency is a big problem out there for women.
