I struggle to believe that a physician told her to take 5000 IU of vitamin D daily for 5+ years. This is nearly 10x canada's recommended winter time dose for adults under 70. After years of struggling with severe joint pain and mental fog/depression, among other things it was discovered that I had critically low vitamin D. They prescribed the 5000 dose but told me at least 10 times how I should NOT continue this high of a dose after the treatment was over.
For me, the supplements were noticeable and life changing and I can tell when I have fallen off taking them for a while. But I don't approach anywhere near this dose. Seems like a case of miscommunication.
