[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 322719, member: 1233"] I have used a whole bunch of different D vitamin forms. Having none of it in my system, I can tell you that it makes a HUGE difference in every single facet of your life. NOTHING is left unchanged. My docs theorize that I have always had something of an "intolerance" of D. From childhood I hated milk, being out in the sun was often painful, sunburns hurt almost as bad right after the color faded as they did when they were new. Foods with lots of D made me sick to my stomach. So after trying 11 different kinds/brands of D, I got a doctor to give me shots of it. OUCH! Ins paid for none of it. NONE. We did four groups of 4 shots, 1 per week. Between each group we waited a week. After the 2nd round my levels increased by 50%. From a level 6 to a level 9. If you are under 15 then you are said to be severely deficient. Didn't seem like much progress. But in the 9 months since then I am up to the low end of normal. Sadly, I still have soft bones that I am working to heal. And not enough D, and thus calcium, to use boniva or fosamax yet. (They are excruciatingly painful if your levels are not right.) Whatever you take, take some D and Calcium together every day. Just check your multivitamin and your D/Calcium supplement to see how many you need to take to meet the RDA. I hope this helps. D can change your life if you are very low. [/QUOTE]
