Aromatase Inhibitors and Vitamin D study

This was posted at the forum I Co Mod at this morning I felt this was worth posting here.
=======================================================
Hello!
I was at the U of MN the other day and saw a flyer advertising the need
for volunteers for an interesting study. The study questions if low
Vitamin D levels may cause some of the negative side effects of
Aromatase Inhibitor usage in breast cancer patients to become even worse.
After thinking about it, I used to get more muscle pain when my E2 would
go too low before I started to take Vitamin D. Is it a coincidence or
am I just controlling my E2 better now so that I never go "way too low"
anymore? Or is there some other factor that may be influencing how I feel?
Anyway, I called the person running the study and she said that they
considered including men in the study, but they weren't sure how many
men actually used Arimidex and other Aromatase Inhibitors. I explained
to her that some pharmacists have reported that they dispense more
Arimidex to men than women and she was surprised and thanked me for the
information. She said that they would take that information into
account for future studies involving AIs.

I use Vit. D3 drops then are 2000 IU's per drop try this I put the drops on the back of my hand and lick it off. Start low one to two drops and go by your labs. It might be the filler in the Caps or Pills your taking.

I take 5000 iu in the summer and 10000 for the spring fall and winter...it makes a big diff on how I feel for sure

I go by labs and latey I have been so low from being on pain meds that I need 13 drops at 2000 IU's / drop to keep my levels up past 40. I am at 47 ten weeks ago but I am 68 the older you are the more you need vit. D3 to keep levels up even in the summer time.

This is a great link to watch about Vit. D.

More fat ones has the more body will be come deficient. When percent of fat gets to high the body identifies it as another organ which will cause increased need for vitamins.
