[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 165924, member: 1233"] My reg doctor told me almost a month ago that they would give me Vit D shots to get my levels up. I am in a lot of pain and we (all of the docs and myself) think it is mostly the Vit D deficiency. The pain just doesn't let up. I am miserable and almsot totally nonfunctioning. The nurse keeps telling me they are "ordering" the medicine, but there is no telling when they will get it in as they don't normally have it. I talked with husband and we think maybe I should see an endocrinologist - maybe they could help?? We are not sure, but this has gone on for a year and a half (when we first discovered the deficiency and started trying various supplements and other ways to get some vit D in my system - ALL of them so far make me very very ill - vomiting for days ill). Is an endocrinologist the right kind of specialist to handle this?? Or is there another specialist I should seek out? We have amazing insurance, no referrals needed and very reasonable copays, so going to a specialist shouldn't be any problem. I just want to get the right one. One that can HELP with this, ASAP. Thank for any advice on this. Susie [/QUOTE]
