Given your lyme problems I'd go up to 40K iu per day if your pth is high enough. Really. You have taken a big a hit and you don't realize how D3 can help you in this area. I might give you a hard time, but I've seen what D3 supplementation can do for people who have had bad hits to their immune system. At the very least go to 20K iu per day. I have dozens of friends who I've talked into that and almost everyone reports improvement in their day to day lives. (I helped a friend out of lyme infection many years ago. He finally went with antibiotics and just got through--but he was never the same.)

You need to be taking ten times as much D3 as you are taking now, and likely twenty. Get the blood tests, and learn the symptoms of toxicity.

Studies have shown that even at 40K per day people very very rarely suffer from any toxicity. My advice is to do the 40K (with olive oil) and K supplements, take a break every other weekend or so. ie it is ok to miss a few days. Remember that sun shine is good from about 10-2 and harmful in the later afternoon. Sun helps the body actually produce other hormones in addition to D3. But you only benefit by about 20 minutes per day. When you start, do less than 20 minutes fo sunshine exposure.

I'd also look at NAC, NAD+, pterostilbene, Niacin or Niacinamide, L-glutamine, which are great anti aging supplements, and very positive antioxidants.

You are killing yourself slowly with 2K per day --even 10, given your history. Push the limits. If you have any kind of pth rating you could do 100K a day for a couple of week without any problems. Remember the iu ratings are completely arbitrary. Panic about D3 is based on mid 20th century studies that were dosing at 1000K iu per day and more. None of those people died. They simply drank lots of water and stopped supplementation

good luck .
