My dr put me on Replesta for Vit D deficency .. We will see how it works ....

This is a pricey OTC version of D3. It works out to 2000IU daily if you use it once a week.

Whatever you want to do... just make sure it is D3.

she wants me to take twice a week ... yeah I saw that , you can buy on amazon... It was $30.00 for 2 months . she only wants me to take 12 weeks . Oh I hope and pray it works

I am to do 50,000 ui twice a week and the amazon prices are about the price I paid .....

mrs d dpo you think 50,000 ui twice a week is to much , I am not feeling well today

You'd have to discuss that with your doctor.

I take 10,000 IU D3 a day in winter and none in summer when I am outside. This works out to 70,000 IU a week.

I don't have any side effects from it. Just no more colds or flu.

ok thanks i will ask her

Vitamins and such
 

Quick reply (sorry I haven't been around lately!) about cities and such. We need to be mindful that as mysastheniacs we will be low in potassium and vitamin Ds. I've just had my Primary run a panel (again) on a lot of vitamin and minerals, plus CBC as i have some strange bleeding disorder that leavesme with these huge purple splotches and very fragile skin. As he's put me on a statin, I've give it a chance for 2 months, now I'm going off it and see if my MG improves any.
B vitamins are water soluble, so anything not needed will go down the potty. A round of trigeminal neuralgia 40 years ago and a holistic magazine (which I cannot think of the name of) of my mother-in-law's led me to B-100 pills when nothing the doctors were throwing at it was working. It took a month to kick in, but it worked. I'm back on them now to see if it will help any. The neuro had me on prescription Bs, but with the price of medications....
Also trying turmeric starting tomorrow morning as an anti-inflammatory. So says Dr. Weil, so what the h^ll!
Best to you all. I'll tell you about the chemical cardiac stress test some other time, but leave you with this:DON'T DO IT! :eek:
