Why yes, I am a very pale woman who avoids sunlight because I burn so darn fast. I even work indoors all day. Why yes, I throw up when I eat fish and seafood. Why yes, I am mildly lactose-intolerant and do not drink a lot of milk.

I am now on 5000 IU of vitamin D per day, and after a couple of weeks, I'll want to maintain at 3000 IU/day.

Guess what vitamin D deficiency can cause. Guess. Remember all the agony I was going through with dietary sodium? Vitamin D deficiency can cause high blood pressure! Heh.

So now that's five little pills for D and one annoying injection of B12. There's hope that I can stop the B12 in a month or so... unless my feet spontaneously heal, in which case, bring on the needles.

Check out Bio-D Mulsion Forte (http://www.evitamins.com/product.asp?pid=13834). It's great stuff and has 2,000 IU per drop. I took 50 drops the first dose then 2 drops a day for a few months and my Vit D went from near nothing to smack in the middle of normal range. My doc said this form is the most easily used by the body.
