You need to try D3 which is over the counter. Just Google and you will find it. It comes in a 50,000 IU and also 5,000 and 10,000 IU for daily use. Insurance will not pay for it, but it is not expensive.
Thanks for the reply
I have not picked up my RX yet, although, when my husband dropped it off the pharmacist told him, with my insurance, it would be around $70.00. I do not have that much faith in Docs when it comes to vitamins. Maybe I will try the D3 over the counter instead.
One other question, my intact PTH was high, 70.1 ref range 10 - 65 Do you think it's high because of the low D level? That is what the Doctor thought.
