Thanks Kitt, great quotations you share...

Here is one I saw when I was in Chicago and liked...

"Success is not forever, and failure isn't fatal" - Don Shula

I am not a big sports person, but I do like this quotation.

Question....my vit d, the 25 one is 23 (low)....however the 1, 25 is 60. How come one is normal (on the higher end of normal range) and the one is low? I must be really dull not to get this concept, but, should they not both be low?

D2 is typically always low...it is not a natural form of D in human body and is metabolized away as a "drug"....

http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/vitam...macology.shtml

Quote:
Ergocalciferol does not exist in detectable quantities in the human body, only in tiny quantities in plants and as such is "unnatural" when in the human body. You can not get any appreciable ergocalciferol by eating vegetables. Ergocalciferol is metabolized to various substances in the body, some of which are not normally present in humans, although these metabolites have never been shown to be dangerous. There is also some evidence that ergocalciferol is more toxic in overdose, which is curious as it is only about half as potent as the naturally occurring vitamin D, cholecalciferol. Your body also metabolizes ergocalciferol more quickly than cholecalciferol.
Ergocalciferol == D2

cholecalciferol ==D3 (active form)

Thank you for this....and then technically, I am OK....and it is totally fine that the 25 kind is low (23) and the 1,25 kind is normal (60.4)? hmmmmm. Well, I will take the D3 I have....the cholecalciferol. Again, thank you, I know you are always explaining this to us...we do appreciate it.

Please read this:

Serum 25(OH)D levels are obtained when the disorder is suspected. Serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels have no place in diagnosing the syndrome and will mislead the physician. Sunlight, artificial light, oral or parenteral vitamin D, or a combination, aimed at restoring circulating levels of 25(OH)D between 50–80 ng/mL is the treatment of choice. Controlled sunlight is the safest form of vitamin D repletion. Vitamin D3 cholecalciferol is the preferred form of oral vitamin D.
I think you have it backwards?

Thank you.

According to this, I am substantially deficient.....(I have no excuse for my intellectual functioning lately.)

I think that I have a ghost in my house, and it keeps taking the things I put somewhere safe. When I try to find something, it is never where I put it.

Like my Eddie Bauer head lamp was in the garage freezer.....

I am trying to make pumpkin cheesecake with pecan praline drizzle and after assembling all my ingredients (I know I need to gather things ahead of time)...I lost things.....not just one thing, but, lots of things. After setting off the smoke alarms (not my fault), and my dogs bolting out of the house due to the beeping, two tries on the crust, $10 worth of pecans tossed in the chicken coop since I burned them.....my cheese cake is now setting.

I lost my pain pills after I put them somewhere safe...after I had a fit, I found them....in some other safe place....hmmm

maybe.... I am a bit overwhelmed with things like teething, and running out of diapers (no not me, my g-son).....sooooo,

Maybe the vitamin D will help.
