Oh CRAP!! I forgot I'm supposed to be taking B12. Haven't had any in over a month. Oh man, my surgeon is gonna be thrilled with me at my appointment tomorrow.

As Kelly said, your dose needs to depend on your labs, but FWIW, I take a sublingual B12 (5000 units) once a week and take 50,000 units of D3 three times a week.  I had a terrible time getting my Vit D levels up (it was NINE at my first labs and we screwed around a long time increasing it by piddly 1000 or 2000 units a day before I finally decided (on my own) to go for the 50,000 unit "big guns".

I currently take vit b12 2500 every other day and my level was 1544 on my last check. I was taking 4000 of vit D and my level on last check was 38, so I increased it to 8000.  My doctors office was ok with the low level, but i'm not.
