My Vitamin D3 Status

My insurance does not cover my D3. It's about $2.75 per pill.

Nov 2008 I was at a 26 I believe so I started taking 2000iu a day and tried to get as much sunshine as possible.
Nov 2009 I was at a 46 so that was much better.
Feb 2010 I was at a 45 so my doc started me on 50,000 iu weekly for six weeks
March 2010 I was at a 62 so now I'm on 50,000iu once a month
June 2010 I dipped to 44 so now they want me on 50,000iu twice a month I've also been riding a great deal so I am outside though I do wear sunscreen so that might cancel that out.

It's interesting how both my potassium and D3 went down with my last lab. Of course we know that labs can do and make mistakes but I doubt mine is a mistake. I go back in for labs and to see my oncologist early October. I'll keep you abreast.
