Thank you for the update. I take 2000 IUs of D3 as that controls my restless legs. But I don't take calcium and I eat very little in the way of dairy products because of the cholesterol issue. Maybe I will try to back down the Vit D3 to 1500 and see if that still controls the RLS.

Please don't cut back on the vitamin D. 2000 is not a mega dose and if it
helps you then it's fine. Dairy is fine as long as it's fat free.
Cholesterol in food doesn't raise your cholesterol in the body. Saturated
fats do. As for calcium.. you need it a lot for your bones. It isn't the
same as the calcium in the calcium score for your heart! That's "calcified
plaque" it isn't actually caused by eating anything with calcium.
