Vitamin D3
I've read a lot today about the benefits of Vit D 3...I had no idea! So glad your pain is subsiding.

Can't wait to see the affects it has on me...also Magnesium with Vit D is essential and that along with calcium.

The three seem to enhance one another for full benefit.

VITACOST.com is an excellent source for supplements etc. NSI brand was recommended to me as the best buy and most efficient.

Keep testing and be patient
I didn't believe that the 5000 per day that the endocrinologist wanted me to take would raise my level to a normal limit. I really believed that I would have to do the 50000 per week to jump start my level up to normal. But, after just 3 months, my level has come up nicely. She was right and I was wrong, so I am glad I followed her advice. More importantly to me is how much better I feel with my level now 55. I only have rare neck pain now. I was sleeping with a thermacare heating pad on my neck every night. Now that is a rare occurrence. I'm a believer that we really need to check our Vit D levels--especially if we are on one of the aromatase inhibitors (arimidex, aromasin or femara). Hope this helps someone else!

I read recenly (I don't think that it was here) that a study showed that taking vitamin D helps arthritis. I know my knees have been much better since I started taking a vitamin D supplement: I was quite deficient a couple years ago when I was first tested.
