Moving on from our MRI discussion, I have a D3 related question I'm thinking might get answered here. I just had my semi-annual wellness check. The blood work all looks as okay as I expect for my age (87), except the calcium level. This number has, for the last 3 checkups, been fractionally above the upper desirable range. In fact, it increased those fractions each time.

Believing this to be somehow related to my D3 intake, I cut down on it a little after the first time the number went above the desirable range. As I said, the number continued to increase in subsequent blood work. The doc questioned me about the amount of milk, cheese, etc. that I was consuming. Not a lot, even cutting that back to about half what I had been eating/drinking.

I reduced my D3 intake below what I think I should be taking, which got that level below 100 and the doc off my back. Yet the calcium number continues to tick up.

My current D3 intake is 5000iu 5 days per week. Is this actually related to the calcium number? What am I doing wrong here, and am I looking in the wrong directions?
