I am taking 5,000 iu of vit D now but I have never been tested. I hope it is safe but without testing i dunno, but I really believe I need it.
That's why I bumped mine up - my orthopedic said 1000iu and he said that the reason I had a 16.2 vitamin d level was probably heredity. I know when I bring it down, just a little, my darned calf starts 'cramping' and aching again, which is really just some form of nerve pain
