[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 165941"] Yes, I would see an endocrinologist. There could be a parathyroid issue or something else. You need to determine why you're so deficient. I know you've mentioned not drinking vitamin D milk, but we get most of our Vitamin D from the sun. Foods are not fortified with enough vitamin D to compensate for that. If you're getting sun on exposed face, neck and arms WITHOUT sunblock for 10 minutes a day and you're still deficient, I would be wanting to make sure there is no parathyroid or other issue going on. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with may things besides fibro, such as MS, lupus, RA, etc. Some think it may cause those illnesses while others think it's because of those illnesses. This explains the parathyroid issues: [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D[/URL] This study casts doubt on the effectiveness of supplements: [URL]http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080125223302.htm[/URL] I have to tell you...I felt no different when my vitamin D level was at 4 then I do now that it's at 45. In fact, when I took the supplements I had horribly intense headaches and searing bone pain that stopped when I stopped the supplements. Could just be a coincidence, but who knows. [/QUOTE]
