Hi,Judy
My neuro has had me taking 50,000 units a week of Vit D for the last 8 weeks.Just two weeks had my blood test and I'm still not up to the normal levels yet(my number is 25), so she has me taking the D for another 6 weeks.She also had me taking calcuim 1,000 mgs of calcuim a day(normal range is btw 8.2 and 10.2 my number is 9.6 well come to learn I can't take all that calcuim,I stopped taking it about a week ago because it caused me alot of constipation and stomach problems. My neuro said once my D levels are in the normal range she'll put me on 1,000 units a day of Vit D. So it's taking me along time to get my levels up in the normal range I think Judy that you need a quick boost that's why my doctor has me taking 50,000 units a week that's what patient's who need a quick boost are put on from what I've read. Good luck. Kristi

IMPORTANT.................

I forgot to mention that I've had a dull constant pain or ache in my upper abdomen for a week now and I was thinking it was from the Calcuim but now I'm thinking maybe it's from all the vit D I've been taking.I'm going to call my neuro this week about it and I made an appt with my primary doctor but I can't get in till Oct 7. Has anyone else had this problem ???
