Rhapsody,

I also have severe vit D deficiency.......

I cannot take the tablets and find the sun(heat) horrendous.......

I try and get out in the sun in the morning for half an hour when it is the least hottest........my doc says I must do this for 3 months........I must have my legs and stomach and face exposed.......the early morning sun is not as bad....ice packs on your wrists help keep your core temp down......

My gynea told me that there is a vit D injection that is waiting in Aussie for FDA approval.......they may already have it in the States.......you can do this injection yourself.......I have a terror of injecting things into my self, but you may be okay with that.......the good thing is that it is intramuscular.......I do not know if contains nickel.....

Good luck babe.......vit D defiency is not fun.......

Take care,

Michah
