Here are some Vit D suggestions:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread92116.html

If you do not get outside and in the sun for a while each day, the general suggestion is to start at 2000IU daily.

But testing is really the way to go.

At the end of that thread, is a cardiologist's suggestion to limit calcium supplement when taking high dose D3. Since Vit D improves calcium absorption from food, I think his advice is good.
He is the first one I've seen on the net make that suggestion.
It is something to think about.

But very low Vit D is showing up frequently now, and estimates are 1/2 the US population is low. There are studies linking low D to chronic pain states, among other things.
(estimates for low magnesium are about 70% needing supplements in US)
Here is my supplement page with more info about D also:
