reason being, i'm not sure my mdoc will collaborate on scripting the amount i may need through the state. i am still ramping up, so we'll see. anyway, i was "prepping" myself to try to persuad pdoc to script it for me, even if i have to pay out of pocket. the script stuff isn't terribly expensive.

i cannot get high dose pills OTC here, tops being 300IU, so i'd have to take like 9 pills per day... just to get a measly 2100 IU. and that stuff IS more expensive. besides other complications on acquiring it.

REMINDER to anyone reading ... re: types of Vitamin D:

where i live, all Vit D i(prescription and OTC) is Vitamin D3 - cholecalciferol.

In the US only Vit D2 is scripted which is much less effective. But you can get cheap Vitamin D3, OTC. That's what you want.

If you are anywhere else, or if you are unsure, check before buying that you are getting D3 and NOT D2.
