@esb13 everyone's body is different so I just wanted to post that I did 3,000 units of D3 when I normally do 1,000-2,000 depending on the season. I hope your doctor does testing so you can determine best dose. For me, 5,000 units would be too high. Various things can affect aborption. I was grateful for periodic testing that let me know I was on the right track. I believe 80 is too high so I was concerned with the D3 started rising from low 50's after I stopped Tymlos!

Exactly! Too high is as concerning as too low.
I am only taking the 5000 IU briefly to get levels up again quickly and then will taper back down. I have also taken K2 for years and have no idea if it's helping in any way but it's not hurting so I'll keep it in the regimen.
Thank you for all your wisdom and time to share your experiences.
