Vit D: Dose may be too high for you. Try 5000 twice a day. Check levels again after 6 weeks.

DON"T TAKE D2!!!: The 50, 000 unit form of vitamin d is vit. D2. Recent evidence suggests this does more harm than good & thus it's toxic! take d3 (available at health food stores) 10, 000 iu/day for a month then 5000 iu/day. Best to take with about 1 mg of vit k & 5-10, 000 iu of vit a. See http://articles.Mercola.Com/sites/articles/archive/2011/11/30/taking-the-right-type-of-vitamin-d.Aspx share this with your doc!
