Vitamin D3 5000 UI daily safe?

Thanks all. I am indoors almost all the time. I do not sit in the sun because I am very fair skinned and burn easily. My Vit D levels were super low. It has been a while since I was tested but plan on getting tested next week. I have found many "old school" doctors know little about drug interactions or nutrition. (An example...my doctor prescribed diuretics - for high BP - but he also prescribed thyroid supplements. He should have known they were conflicting meds!)
I am glad he is retiring and until I find a caring doctor who actually listens - I plan on placing my health issues with a nurse practitioner who I trust!

I have found for the past 20+ years that I get my best medical care from my nurse practitioner, who readily consults others or refers me as needed. I was sad when she moved last year to a less stressful position, but she found a great replacement for me. Nearly all my specialists trusted her to manage my care and meds once diagnosis and treatment were identified for my various conditions, so having one caregiver who knew the "whole picture" was a blessing. It seems the new NP is quite like her.
