[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 419932, member: 1233"] She didn't test my Vit D but the last check it was 4. Yes, I know that is super low. I am still vomiting up vit D in most forms. I seem to be able to handle orange cream yoplait yogurt. Only that flavor and brand. So I try to eat at least 1-2 per day. Once in a great while I can keep a glass of chocolate milk (must be homemade and skim milk) or carnation instant breakfast mixed with skim milk. Maybe a couple times a month. I cannot do the 50,000 IU Vit D pills. They simply will NOT stay in my system. I did shots of Vit D that were 500,000 IU (ten times more than the rx pills) for 3 rounds. 1 shot a week for 6 weeks at a cost of $$300 for 6 shots and even after all those shots my level only came up to a 9. I was working with an endocrinologist who is really good but he couldn't figure out why I didn't respond or why it made me so sick - esp when the shots made me vomit for at least 24 hrs. Then he said he really didn't know how to help and unless I found a treatment I wanted him to rx, or he found one he thought would help, the visits to him were not worth what we were paying. He said he would happily keep me as a "regular" patent that he treats but doesn't have any real results for if we wanted to keep paying for visits every 3 mos, but he didn't think it would help me. I respected him a lot for saying he just had no clue and the visits were not getting us anywhere. The 1000 calorie diet was a sugggestion from my previous doctor. She mostly wanted to see if going on a very low calorie diet would kickstart my system into losing weight. It didn't work at all. If I have problems getting the thyroid levels right then I will see the endocrin doctor. Otherwise I will just go iwth the doctor I have. [/QUOTE]
