Vitamin D3 5000 UI daily safe?

I’m struggling as a caregiver. While I try to research things, it would be much easier if I had medical training. Not all doctors explain things in plain speak - the medical jargon is harder for me to understand. And hard at times to control my emotions. Thanks to Mayo Connect I have access to resources and websites I didn’t know exist. Access to people with similar situations is so helpful - especially the success stories.

@mlenney167 Hi Annie,

Yes, those of us who have serious medical problems or know of someone who does, all wish we had more medical knowledge, but we all get our knowledge the same way you do, by researching reliable websites and asking questions of others who are in a similar situation. I would like to invite @gingerw to this conversation as well.

I can also understand the emotional toll that comes with caregiving. We have all experienced this at one time or another as caregivers. Are you aware that on Mayo Connect we also have discussion groups for caregivers?

Here is the link to one of those discussions where caregivers introduce themselves, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/meet-fellow-caregivers-introduce-yourself/.

We also have discussions specifically related to melanoma. Here is a link to one of those, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/stage-4-malignant-melanoma-internal/?pg=1#comment-114191. Perhaps @gingerw can recommend some other discussions as well.

I encourage you to give the caregivers group a try. Will you?
