You need to run everything you do by your transplant team. Let me know when you find an osteoporosis specialist. I was sent to an endocrinologist who tried to put me on Prolia. When I told her I would not be taking Prolia, she walked out of the room and had nothing more to say to me. Every doctor has something to say, and they are not always accurate. I'm still looking for what the right answers are. The one thing I am comfortable saying is that if you can get your nutrients from food - do that! But according to researchers, almost all of us need to supplement our vitamin D3 - so ask your team about it. You do not need a prescription for vitamin D3, unless you have MS or an absorption problem and need to take the mega dose (which it seems you could still do with OTC vitamins - but maybe it's different). I started taking it when a friend, who is a scientist and a doctor, showed up at my doorstep with a bottle of D3 in a bag. I am lacking an immune system, and vitamin D3 has prevented many colds. You might want to tell your transplant team that. I have to get IVIG (IV Immunoglobulin) every three weeks so I have an immune system. The vitamin D3 gives me an additional immune-system boost. I'm thinking you could use a boost. Ask your doc.

Hi @contentandwell
I find it interesting that he would want to prescribe a Vit. D Rx without checking your Vit. D. level first.
Did he order blood work to check on the D level?
