Happy to see that you are now under care of endocrinologist.
When I had a low Vitamin D level last year, they had me on 10k once a week for 2 or 3 months, and then retested. It was 27 then, so my PCP was happy enough with it. I'm hoping the 5k daily will help.
The endocrinologist wants to retest my cortisol level, so we'll see how low it is then, I guess.
