Vitamin D3
Becky;
Have you experienced any side effects from the 4ths+ units of Vitamin D3 you've been taken?
I checked with my doctor and he suggested to follow the guidelines. I don't think so, as the guidelines are for people who are not defficient on this vitamin.
I further checked with the Pharmacist at the Onc. department where I received the chemo treatments and she sided with my onc!
I would like to add more units to the mere 1,000 units I take on a daily basis, but first I would like to hear from someone like you who's been on it for a time.
I appreciate a response.
Thank you.
