I had serious but unrelated to coof medical problems one year ago. First thing the dr. did was to prescribe weekly large doses of vitamin D, massive. 6,000 units once a week in a big hit.
I'm still here.
Doc is a fabulous woman who has spent her life saving people like me. She has no time for pink pussy hats but she does seem to like vitamin D.
Once a week? I try to take it once a day, when I remember to. I usually don't remember though, so it's maybe 3-4x a week max but usually more gappy.
Originally was using 200-400 IU dosages. That barely helps, but it's not enough if you don't (or can't due to window direction, dreary weather city, or genetics) get enough sun.
Window direction is irrelevant. UV-B (which triggers production of Vitamin D) gets blocked by almost all glass. I guess windows will help if you leave them open, but if you're just sitting next to an open window all day I'd say why not just sit outside?
But, yeah, make sure you get your vitamin D whatever way you can. Supplements, dietary, sun exposure, whatever works for you
Don't take sissy dosage either. Use 5,000 IU.
