Have you gotten a second opinion? What were your blood test results? I might ask him/her if it is ok to start at every 3-4 days instead. That does seem like a lot! Have you gotten a second opinion?

After seeing a Rheumatologist last week and undergoing Xrays and blood tests, it was determined that my Vitamin D level are very low. The doctor wants me to start on 50,000 a day for a week. Is this too much? It sounds scary! I have been having major joint & muscle pain along with extreme fatigue for almost 2 months.

I am not sure how you managed with a TSH of 5.1. I felt like poop at 2.89. I hope you don't think any less of me due to the political drama at PLM. Glad you got it checked out.

I hope you don’t think any less of me due to the political drama at PLM.

My internist wanted to check my level at the same time she checked my TSH level. I was a very bad girl and ran out of Synthroid prescription about four months ago and hadn't gotten myself back into the office to check levels or get a new prescription. Very bad. Very bad. So my TSH came back 5.1 (we were aiming for 2.5 or less). Then my Vitamin D level came back 7 on a healthy scale of 32-100, basically non-existent. So added a new prescription today.
