I already asked the nurse for vitamin d, she wanted to give me but she found out she only has a liquid drops bottle.
She gave me omega 3 for now and told me to come next tuesday to meet the doctor and have dosage set for vitamin d.

It was quite sunny in here recently but I'm spoiled and don't leave the house much ^^

So I test vitamin d!
Result 17 ng/ml, normal is 20-58 @@..



thats VERY low... you'll most likely see your lipids improve when your vitamin D is normalized. did your doctor offer your a prescription dose of vitamin D? he most likely will offer you 6 weeks of 50,000iu per week. after which he should test you again... once your levels have stabilized start taking 1000iu per day of d3 in gel-cap form and get tested again in 3 months.

I went to the doctor today to get the vitamin d prescription.
She gave me a bottle and told me to take 6 drops per day. How much IU is it?

She told me not to worry about my low HDL because my total and LDL, as well as trigs are low too... umm....................

I also started taking omega 3 pills.

I will do lipids profile blood tests in about a month(?) :)

\Thanks for the help ^^
