I took 5000 for years and it never did anything either, I was still in the single digits. Cant sit in the sun I had Thyroid Cancer and sun is not good for me.

Going to try a 50,000 once a week pill today, going to my doctor today and I hope it helps me feel better.

Thanks...

Yes, I have had lab work, I work in a lab and I check my labs all the time. But....like a fool, I stopped taking my Vit D because I take so many other drugs.

Going to doctor today and will recheck my levels. There is a once a week 50,000 VIT D pill and I am foing to try it. I was on 5000 and it did nothing.

Thanks...

Good morning

Has anyone had issues with low Vit D? Right now I am having a really bad time with muscle pain, tingling and bathroom issues. After having a 100 tests, 2 ER visits and a 10 hour stay in the hospital, everything is normal which I am happy about.

Then, I was surfing the web and read something about Vit D and the symptoms associated with it. Low and behold, I have almost all the symptoms listed.

I was taking Vit D in the past and stopped it.

I was very disturbed by the show and I will contact TLC and let them know. People who watch the show watch for a reason. I had weight loss surgery in 2003 and have lost 130lbs which saved my life.

Steven will NEVER have success, he doesn't follow what the doctor tells him and he NEVER will.

I wish him the best and hope he survives.

Did his brother also have surgery?

Hi,

Did Steven ever have weight loss surgery? I was sicken by the way he treated his father and the healthcare staff that were all trying to help him!

I watch the show on a regular basis and this one was the most disturbing to me.

I am shocked TLC aired it!

I hope Steven has gotten the help he needs and hope he is doing better.

Waiting for approval for the gel from my insurance, I am shocked they will NOT cover it.  I have heard it works great and if used sparingly, I should be ok,  BUT...by the time it is approved, I will be better!!!  I also mad a great ice pack with 2 parts water and 1 part rubbing alcohol, it turns into a slush.

Thanks,
