Has your doctor ever checked your vitamin D3 status? If that were me above, I would be taking vitamin D3 8,000 I.U. daily for one month, and then 4,000 I.U. every day after that. Then after three months I would have my 25(OH)D (a/k/a calcifediol) and 1,25(OH)D (a/k/a calcitriol) levels checked... oral vitamin D3 has a half-life of 21 days, and calcitriol takes additional time for the kidney to create, three months is about how long it will take to reach steady state.
