Also lover disease). The last time I tried to take the 25,000 IU dose my gut reacted with nausea and right flank pain,(achy liver). Became very cautious since then, simply do not trust the docs. Do you have any advice to add here specific to my case?
Three doctors all offer differing opinions for TX. Crazy making to say the least. Thanks TT
When things get this dicey... well... all that is left is sun exposure. Get out there and get the proper exposure and perhaps you won't need the supplements.

Other choices are daily lower dose and over time you may get better. At 29 ng/ you'd need about 4,000IU D3 daily to get to 50-60. Optimum sun exposure daily would give 10,000 IU daily.
The sun is free.
