My Vitamin D level was low at 14.95, so the endo put me on high levels of Vitamin D - have to take 1 a week for the first 4 weeks, then 1 pill once a month for the following 11 months. It seems to have helped, but he warned me not to stop taking them.

I don't get as much sun as I'd like, but I only think that's a small part of the issue. In terms of a link or why it happens, I'm not really sure, but I have iron deficiency anemia & hypothyroidism.

The endo did say that new research has found a link between decreased levels of Vitamin D and kidney problems, so I guess he just wanted to cover the bases to prevent anything before it becomes an issue.
