D causes tons of problems, especially cancer concerns.  Do some research and then TELL the doctors what you want and make sure that you get the answers you want.  I supplement with D3 in the fall/winter months with 4000-5000 ius of D3 daily.  I was 54 after being tested last time.  So good luck and help yourself by doing your homework, trusting the next guy isn't always the way to go.   Good luck sharman1 Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT Thanks for your input.  Still no answers.  I may actually be toxic with too much d.  I was thinking if it isn't converting then my supplements aren't being used, which could explain my hypercalcemia.  I was overnight in the hospital with chest pains a few days ago, still in pain they are looking at my pancreas now, which could be due to toxic amounts of d. rantam Wed, 21 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
