That is what my NP had told me after I went to get cleared for work almost a month ago. My Vitamin D level is 13 mg/dl, the normal is 30 mg/dl. I was thinking maybe I was cooped up in the house way too long doing child care? But I remembered I had the same problem when I was pregnant; or maybe because I work night shift and I sleep during the day?
So, my NP had prescribed me Vitamin D 50,000 IU once a week, then get my level check after four months. With this deficiency, I have abnormanl liver function also, so she (NP) referred me to have a liver and abdomen sonogram to r/o gallstones. I think this is too much for now, I mean I just returned to work, why haven't I get checked before while I was on childcare leave?
