I imagine you have to take a larger dose of D than what is found in a vitamin. <br /> I run into snakes occasionally when I am walking/hiking and though I keep my distance, they really don't bother me as much as bugs. I am really creeped out by water bugs..I haven't seen any in years but when I was a kid we had a basement and if it rained heavy it seemed like a water bug or two could be found down there.

I was not at all concerned I would have it because I'd been taking Citrical for years, but it turned out I did. I guess we just can't fight our heredity sometimes. The doctor told me to begin taking 2,000 units of D a day (1K twice a day) along with the calcium and begin mild weight training, which I did. I get rescanned this fall at my annual physical, so we'll see if it helped.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of snakes, but it's spiders that send me screaming into the night!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-86492436027765775962013-07-27T14:37:50.101-04:002013-07-27T14:37:50.101-04:00I haven't seen a snake in years, unless it was...I haven't seen a snake in years, unless it was behind glass.

Tina, maybe I should get the bloodwork too. I wonder if any of my levels are down. Thanks for educating us on this.

Scaaaaaary.<br /><br />There is also a connection between Vitamin D and Ulcerative Colitis/Crohn's Disease. My hubby was found to have low levels after his severe Crohn's flare a few years ago. It's kind of a "chicken and the egg" kind of question. Researchers are starting to find some evidence that low levels may possibly contribute to the disease, so GI docs are now being told to keep an eye on those levels for their Inflammatory Bowel Patients.<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon!71º & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-38241171862741252562013-07-26T18:56:47.932-04:002013-07-26T18:56:47.932-04:00Hi Tina,

Vitamin D seems to be a fairly common thing to be deficient in. I can't help but wonder if it's because we spend so little time out of doors. And, when we do go outside we cover up from the sun.

Robert is all up in a strop right now because someone somewhere told a tabloid here in England and they reported that Omega 3/6/9 supplements might increase prostate cancer and now he refuses to take them even if we know they are good for his heart. It's a sort of no win thing with supplements sometimes isn't it? <br /><br />I'm fine with snakes, spiders and other creepier, crawlies and OHMYGODS, but I hate knives being wielded about and pointed, even in innocent kitchen or dining room conversation.
