Sally, my neuro is the one who initially ordered the blood work to check my D level, recommended I use a D3 supplement and have it retested in a few months. My PCP does the retesting without a problem, he is closer and easier to get into see than my neuro.

My D3 level will be checked again soon. I take 3000 a day with a spray method.

My D level is 92, recently taken. Have been taking 5000iu a day for probably a year or more. Yes, the test is expensive and not normally covered by insurance. A shrewd doctor's office can usually come up with a code to make it covered. Mine did!
