That’s what happened with me. They gave me the mega high dose but they kept refilling it. I didn’t know. They said I was vitamin D deficient. I have no idea how long I took that high dose but it was a long time….

My doctor told me to take one a day for 30 days, then refill it one time and take those once a week for the next 30 weeks. I go back in March and he is supposed to do a blood test to see where it is then.

It's 50,000 IU, which bogles my mind because the regular supplement I take is like 1,000 IU and it's supposed to be 125% of daily. The 50,000 is like 65X the daily need. I will say, and I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but after I started taking it, the most/quickest improvements came within the first few weeks. Make me think that maybe this Vitamin D deficiency had something to do with what happened to me.

Yeah, the majority of people in NA are deficient. And the RDA has been widely criticized. That is a high dose but doesn't sound abnormal for re-upping levels under doc's supervision. You will get the bloodwork and can check levels yourself to verify they are within range, but even those ranges are criticized by folks that promote vitamin D. And I doubt your doc will want you above the high side of the standard range.
Same happened to a good friend of mine. Also a guitarist. He made a great recovery with time, effort, and the same positive attitude you seem to have. I hope your recovery is swift, and you don’t have any more issues in the future. None of us know when that last breath comes, and life is short. We should all make the most of it. Good luck to you!
