Other than my GI- who would I see regarding my Vit levels?

My VitD has dipped to 33 and I am not feeling well at all. My FMLA has run out and I return to work on Monday, nothing like returning feeling like your dragging!

Hi Lauren,
My GP takes care of all the blood work for me. I supplement accordingly.
I'm on 3,000 iu/day of vitamin D and B12 shots everyother month.
 
I am on 5,000 per day of VitD and its still dropping. I an down to 33.

I guess i am tired of feeing like a pain just get the whole disease treated!

Ready for this?

i was at 100, then he figured out they gave me the wrong daily dosage.
Corrected that so I went down to 56, then about 3 months later down to
33.

His advice was to wait a few more months to see how low its going to get.
I feel like a lab rat- get me almost feeling well then backing down on treatment!

Not happy at all.

Oh Lauren, I can see why you feel like a lab rat.
Are you starting or in a flare by any chance.

I am sorry.
 
I have been out of remission about 5 years.

Its been very frustrating.
Something I know we all feel with this disease.

The hardest part? Not knowing what i don't know to ask for and just stumbling
across some info on here and taking it back to my Dr.

Sending support. I was diagnosed 25 years ago but still feel like there are still things I don't know.
 
It might be the brand
My kiddo has IBd not me
But my vitamin d levels tanked
One brand at 2800 iu a day and I felt horrid plus levels stayed low
Switched brands and levels went up and I felt great .
