Had my labs yesterday and the doctor called this morning to say my D was over 100 and in the toxic level. Has anyone had this??

How far over 100 is it?  We need it above 80 or else we are at increased risk for stuff like heart disease, osteoporosis, and some kinds of cancer.  Some experts believe 120 or 125 is the optimal level.

Kelly, I asked the doc but he just said the lab said over 100. I know that generally higher is better for us since we have malabsortion and with osteoporosis....

Well, generally they give you a number.  It's important to know the number.  If it's 105, it's great.  If it's 200, you might be concerned.

Are you taking additional Vitamin D?  What type D2 or D3 and how much.  Vitamin D at 100 isn't real bad, I'd call and ask what it was and you can change up your intake of Vitamin D slightly if needed.

Mine was 161 on my last report and she asked me to step it down from every other day to 2 times a week (the 50K dry dose is what I take)! :D I don't think toxicity starts until over 200?? My chick said we didn't want it to go any higher and that we could pare it back some... *shrug*

I take the Tender D3 in the 50,000IU dose from Vitalady! It's brought me back from a deficiency very quickly and seems to be maintaining my levels quite nicely right now! :D

No they are not very big at all... They are bigger than my birth control pills but smaller than my iron pills or a regular tylenol sized pill! :D
