A member asked:

My 25 hydroxy vitamind test came out to be 13.24 ng/dl. it is insufficient. i have pcos and have persistent facial edema. are the two related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

13.24: No the two are not related. Your doctor should give you Vitamin D 50,000 units to take once a week for two months. Then you should go to a Pharmacy and purchase (at little cost) a bottle of vitamin D pills - 100 per bottle. It is available as 1000 or 2000 unit capsules and you should take one at bedtime.
