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.

Hi Mrs. D.
Five minutes ago, I just spoke to the girl a Alan's doctor's office. I said "Can I please have his Vitamin D Level, he took a blood test last month but we did not get the vitamin D level and we were told to call back this morning.
She came back to the phone and said "His level is 31.1. I said "was this the hydroxy test? and she said "yes, it's called a 25 Hydroxy test". She said normal was 30 to 100.
I said "Well, if normal is 30 to 100 and he's 31, I WOULD GATHER HE'S LOW???
She really didn't know.
Alan takes 1, 1000 Vitamin D3 pill every day. This is what I take also. But I also sit in the sun for 10 minutes a day. He NEVER DOES. He is very fair.
Do you think he should take more? He has bad psoriasis flare-ups as well as his neuropathy. I know it has nothing to do with Neuropathy, but maybe the auto-immune stuff going on?
thanks Mrs. D
