yea back off dose of vitamin d due to doc recommended and i was surprised it came down that much but last test was in July  now its Nov. no sunlight and dressing warm now . upping dose back up for the winter. Kevin

I think the latest recommendation on vitamin D is to keep it towards the top of the range.  YOur previous 88 was actually pretty ideal, I'd think.  Glad you are feeling good! :)

[kl42]

feeling good!

[kl42]

vitamin d was 88 was told to reduce it but i think im going to re up it again. thanks. Kevin

Glad to hear that you're feeling relatively well.

Your vitamin D is still near the lower end of the range; that can cause symptoms, as well.  I have to keep both my vitamin D and B12 at or near the top of the range to feel well.

endo appointment today. 2 and a half hours at doctors office. why are Endos always backed up ???  . 1 person in front of me!!! everytime!! ./ oh well.!  dose was reduced to 184//// 92 twice daily said she didn't want to reduce too much just enough to get a little higher in range help with sleeping take the edge off.  not to go to hypo side and keep energy, makes sense.  so was reduced from 200 to 190 to 184 over the last 6 months or so. fell pretty good overall.  retest numbers  again in 6 weeks  thanks for help/info everyone. Kevin

[kl42]

thanks. going to ask the endo next apt. on Monday.to step the dose dose down by maybe just a 10 /// . slept good last night. what a difference a good night rest makes . feel real good today! thanks everyone for  advice. Kevin

I agree with gimel and goolarra; your levels are looking pretty good and since you are feeling better, it would seem that you're almost where you need to be.  Maybe one more slight decrease will help resolve the insomnia.  Congratulations!!

[kl42]

thanks. hopefully one more adjustment/ will tweek the numbers right. only took a year and a half ! lol Kevin

[goolarra]

Looking really good...you're almost there!

[kl42]
