A doctor on YouTube is mystified because he’s showing how us to do a simple Vit D level home kit test then sending it to be analysed . He’s been taking very , very large doses of D and was expecting to show us what a really good level he had . Result ,25 . He was more than shocked I can tell you !
Makes you wonder are these supplements all they profess to be .
I don’t know how low it was in figures,I didn’t ask, this was when I went to the Brompton Hospital for an assessment ,to undergo open heart surgery, that is when I discovered I was low in vitamin D, but took no notice.
3 yrs ago...
I’m talking about me..not others, and how it has affected me, with the high calcium level...hence all the tests...will be interesting to see what calcium level is, when I get the results back on Friday.

Didn't you take the prescription Pauline ? Is that why you say it's your own fault?

I will ask for a print out on Friday of my calcium results.
The heart specialist nurse told me it was low ,they never wrote out a prescription, I just ignored what she said, I felt looking back,she didn’t emphasise it enough, or maybe that’s me, not taking responsibility,
I won’t be so stupid again...you have every right to ask for a print out, Zuelka,,.....you’re on the ball more than me.

I nearly always ask for a copy of results of tests too.
We have every right, as you say Zuleiker.
It saves me remembering, and also gives me a clear comparison if/when the test is repeated at a later date.

Can they tell if you’re lacking in vitamin K with a blood test,Annie?

I agree with you, Annie.
The way I understand it is doctors are not trained in nutrition though.
All the more reason why they should sent patients to someone who is.
