Hi, Happylady!! Looks like I posted this on my blog, not yours, so am re-posting to yours in case you didn't see it already: That is great that you got your test results back!! So here's what's happening: 1) your level is 28, but there is a 20% error in most vitamin D tests, so your level might be 28, but it might be 22.4, or it might be 33.6 ng/ml when you take the error into account. 2) Every 100 IU's will raise your level by about 1 ng/ml.  So, taking 1,000 IU's will raise your level by about 10 ng/ml.  In one month, get your level retested, and your level should be about 38 ng/ml.  3) I highly recommend, based on research from the top vit D scientists, to talk to your doctor about getting your vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml.  My endocrinologist is now recommending 80-100 ng/ml.  The top scientists believe that everyone should be at a minimum of 40-60 ng/ml, and latest research suggests that a "natural" level for optimal disease prevention is 80 ng/ml, particularly for reducing the risk of breast cancer. For you to get to 80 ng/ml, you would need to take about 5,000 IU's per day for 4-8 weeks and get re-tested. Your doctor should reduce your dosage slightly and re-test in another 4-8 weeks and keep doing so till you know what IU level keeps your blood level at 80 ng/ml.  4) Regarding toxicity: your blood level would have to get to 200 ng/ml (some say 150 ng/ml). Keep getting your blood level tested and keep it under 100 ng/ml, and you'll be fine. I'm sure your doctor will agree. Let me know if you have more questions!! Congratulations!!

Happylady, you are doing fine.  You write to whomever you want to. 

Hi, HappyLady, I got your post on my profile. I am so sorry for all of your health problems, especially now the cervical cancer. One of the things that the cancer society has found is that every cancer patient they check for vitamin D turns out to be deficient.  There isn't much out there yet about treating cancer with vitamin D, but get your level checked, and let me know the level and I will tell you how to raise your level so that you can share this with your doctor.  Even if it doesn't treat cancer, it will offer relief from the chronic pain and many of the other symptoms that you are having that sound so similar to mine.  Also, there is a Dr. Hekla Sigmundsdottir at Stanford who is working on cancer and vitamin D.  Your doctor may wish to research this in case it is helpful for investigating treatments for your cancer.  About milk, my dad had the same problem with migraines and milk.  The thing is that, if you're vitamin D deficient, you need far more vitamin D than milk can offer anyway. If you are deficient, you will need megadose vitamin D supplements. Get tested, let me know your level, and I can help you work with your doctor.

Thank you again "" happylady555 ""
