Hi Lydia, I notice you are in Pennsylvania; I don't think we can get enough sun in the winter from this latitude to get enough D.

Milk has a different "kind" of vitamin D (D3) that, though useful for the general population doesn't work as well as necessary for those of us who need more and a gallon of milk has less than 2000 IU's of added D3 which your body may or may not be able to use completely. It could be too, as JD points out that you have a problem with milk and I'd talk to your doctor about your cravings.

I would give your endo's suggestion a try, find a good 2000 IU, D2 pill (I use "Sundown" http://www.sundownnaturals.com/ I get at my grocery store) and see if things change for you within a week or two?
