@faith123 Thanks for sharing your very interesting life story! You also seem to be involved in some interesting activities, good for you.
I am glad to hear that your limp seems better with PT. However, I feel a bit concerned when you said, "but my pulse rate goes wild every time I walk. Afib acting up I suppose." I'm wondering if there may be some adjustment that your doctor can make to your meds to help control this. Have you called your cardiologist's office about the pulse rate increase when you walk?

I only see my pcp. They have never sent me to cardio dr. I think i dropped my blood thinner yesterday morning and didn't take it for i found one on the floor. Do you think that could cause it?

@faith123 I'm not a medical professional, so I couldn't answer that question. I would, however, strongly suggest that you talk with your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing when you walk. In order to check this out, Is it possible to ask your PCP for a referral to a cardiologist? Teresa

I go back to him aug. I will ask him then. My pcp retired and i now see a pa in the place i have been going for 25 years. I think i need to change but i dont know if i should. I'm 81
@faith123 I do understand how hard it is to make changes as we age. I suppose you have to weigh the advantages of changing doctors and/or seeing a cardiologist against the discomfort of change. What do you think is in your best interests right now? Teresa
Hi @faith123. I was just passing by when I saw your question about Vitamin D3. I just finished dealing with it myself, and that included some research. Here's the crux of what I learned. Maximum regular dosage of Vitamin D is 4000 IU (international units) per day. In rare cases, specialists will prescribe much higher doses, often intravenous, but off-the-shelf amounts need to be treated as "regular," especially in summer when we tend to get a lot of sunshine which manufactures Vitamin D in our skin. Since your daughter's pills are 5000 IU and somewhat above the recommended maximum, I'd suggest that she cut each in half if possible. If it came in capsules that can't be divided, I'd suggest taking one every other day, an hour after a meal. Do you think that will work for her?
@faith123, my comments yesterday were aimed at Vitamin D3 doses of 2000 IU and 5000 IU per day. Doses of 200 IU and 500 IU per day should pose no hazard whatsoever. Martin
