Default OT Vit D not working?

AS I said here my neuro takes vit D deficiency very seriously and had readliy gone along with me getting IV fluids so I wouldnt get miserable taking the 50K pills the docotrs an prescribe for this. It was a relief when I was seeming to tolerate it and the fluids made me stronger and even breath better!

Well with the CT scan of my tummy sched for tomorrow and being oddly sick I got the copies of the blood work they do when I go get fluids and I got the vit D results I got after being off the vit D for 2 weeks when I first was getting sicker and got something I thought was the flu. Good grief it was only 31.7!!!!! The test I had just before I started showed me at 29. I have had 3 -50K doses that started 2-12. There was a 2 week break and I restarted for last 2 weeks. I had the vit D test the day before I restarted to get a truer result.

I had been noticing that since about 2 1/2 weeks in I didnt get the same boost. And when I took that break it was as if any improvment just plummeted. I went so quickly into the old symptoms I get (some of) of the way I was in the beginning when vit D was so low and parathyroid was elevated. Even today I am frustrated with myself as I let this person at the utility company get to me which is not normal. And this morn I went into immediate fussing on what my family doc did last Friday. This I dont like cause I know its not me. I hate that emotional change every bit as much as the weaker muscles it causes.

There is some unique things in my general blood test they do weekly at the fluids. The BUN is always low. And the BUN/creatinine has been dropping steadiliy since I started. I sure hope hope something shows up on the CT tomorrow.
