I've been supplementing for a week now and have noticed a reduction in my joint pain.

Mine was low, but I haven't noticed any major difference when I supplement it.

Yes, mine was low last time it was checked. Supplementing with it orally seems to aggravate some symptoms and calm others down...hard to know what that's all about. However, IV vitamin D (200 IU/day) seems to be tolerated ok. I guess I'm just super sensitive to large amounts of things.

Mine was very low too. My doctor said it was pretty much deminished. I take supplements now and notice a difference in joint pain. It's not completely gone but better

Hi,
Thanks for the post on D. Yes, I was barely a 2 and have been on supplemental D for several months. I DO notice a difference in the pain. I live in Florida and still have low D, go figure.

I cannot remember my levels - but D25 was low - D125 was too high -

And I was told NOT to supplement - to just get it natrually from the sun.

Lala,
I wonder why you were told not to supplement? When your vitamin D is low, they usually give a presciption for it. I was given a prescription and took it for about a month but then started supplements and decided to just go that route. Low vitamin D can cause a whole bunch of symptoms including joint pain.

Evidently if the D25 is low and the D125 is high, supplementing can make symptoms worse. I don't know the technical part of it (my doc explained it to me, but my short-term memory is gone), but I will find out for you and will post back as soon as I can.

You don't supplement with low D25 with high D-125 levels because you'd just be
feeding the Bb. The Lyme causes the D-125 to take from
the D-25 in order to feed the Lyme.

Lala,
Are the D-25 and D-125 2 separate tests? I haven't actually seen my results so I don't know if a D-125 was ordered.

You guys have me really confused with D25 and D125, will you explain to someone totally baffled...

Mine was low too.
My DR. at Enivita told me to get some sun 15 minutes a day with out sun screen on.
