Re nails -
I have found condition of nails to be better since taking Vit D3. They seem stronger and don't peel or split as much.
Also if you have (or had) cancer - some nutritionists suggest that Vit D should be in optimum range not just normal. Is this why Endo suggesting this? Think the normal range is about 40 and the optimum is 70-100 ng/ml. Like you I prefer not to take anything but think Vit D might just be worth taking. It's easy to take and no side effects.
One of the Ladies at my clinic refused further zometa but has upped Vit D3 and calcium - says she feels better!
