Low vitamin D

[Yourinmyspot]

I’ve just had a few blood tests done by the hospital and it came back that my vitamin D is low at 23. I take 800iu (20 micrograms) of vitamin D3 daily as prescribed by my GP. I was put in them around three years ago when my level was 33 but it’s dropped since then. I try and eat foods containing vitamin D but have to be careful in the sun due to a couple of medications I’m on as I burn very quickly and can have reactions.

Is there anything else I can do to get my levels up?

My GP surgery phoned this afternoon. They said they are going to give me a six week loading dose that I take once a week then go back on to 800units daily and have my bloods checked again in a couple of months. To be fair they have sorted it out very quickly.
