Taking Vitamin D
#43
When I found out I had Osteo, my doc told me to take V-D twice a day and also calcium with D twice a day. He didn't tell me how much though. I take 3200 iu daily. He's on vacation, if I can remember I'll ask him when he gets home. He's also my SIL so that helps greatly. We don't do naked though. I only go to him with things I can keep my clothes on. YUK, imagine getting naked for your SIL. He has had mothers of friends that come to him, then he has to sit across the dinner table with them. YUK

As for not being able to afford it, some supermarket pharmacies are filling generics and such for only a small fee, $10 or less. It can't hurt to go in an ask the pharmacist if there's any way he can help you.
I am one of those people that drugs should be tested on. If there is a weird side effect I can tell with in days of taking it sometimes hours. Very very sensitive.

i take it, i take a 50,000 unit pill every Monday nite
at the first of each month I get a B-12 shot. My system, due to pancreatic cancer, 10 yrs ago, does not absorb and keep the two vitamins going, so that is why I will be taking these for life. They do work. YOU will feel better, not immediately on the B-12, but eventually.

I live in a city where the clinic does alot of research on different things. I was in one that tested for vitamin D levels mine was low so I had to start taking the vitamin, after several months I had to redo the study and once again my level was way down, the doctor told me to take it for the rest of my life. I'm now on a world wide study on breast cancer the study is coming out of Canada. There is a medication that they are postive it will prevent breast cancer. I'm in the study for 5 years and if I happen to be in the group that is getting the placebo they will give me 5 years of pills (they think that is all you need to take to prevent the cancer). Right now women from Canada who have had breast cancer can take this pill and it will prevent reoccurents of the cancer. The older a person gets the more chance you have of getting breast cancer.
