Hi Barbera,
I am glad you described what is going on with you. I’m not sure if it was a typo or if you are really taking 50,000 units of vitamin D3 a day because that is really extreme and dangerous. I took 50000 units a week for 6 months and it made a difference and now take 5000 a day. Do the research and talk to your doctor more about it. Good luck !!

I want to thank everyone for responding. I really appreciate you 🤗
Hi Veronica, hope all is well. I take Vitamin D3 5,000 units with vitamin K for better absorbtion. I buy my vitamins from the best laboratory named Methogenics. I also buy from them vitamin B12. Omega XL is also a winner and I order that vitamin from their 800 number. This combination and stayung away from red meat, processed food and sugar has kept me away from having to take prescription drugs for RA. So far, so good thank God. Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Good luck to you and many blessings. ❤️
