    But I was talking to a friend of mine who had one last year and they said the shots seem to be different now, no injection pain and less side effects than the older version, what if anything changed tho, I'm not sure.

    I will say that the actual injection was painless this time, only some very minor discomfort and no side effects at all so far, not even a smidgen of tenderness at the injection site.
    Its been almost 48 hours and aside from a mild soreness when I lift or fully extend my arm, no side effects at all. :)

    I agree, but I do get the Tetanus shot. I'm good for another year or two. :)

    Doctors can't make money if their patients are healthy. They make on average in the span of 20 years, $1,000,000 dollars off each patient.

    They'd have to take a second job if their patients remained healthy and they only got paid once a year simply performing annual physicals. IJS

    My doctor screened me for vit. D deficiency (I was very low) but he was a DO, not an MD. I think DOs do take a more holistic approach.

    My doctor is an MD and he started the screening about 3 years ago. I thought for sure I'd be in the normal range because I took a daily multi vitamin that included D3 but when the results came back I was low. Not real bad but low enough that he told me to take 2,000 units every day and he would recheck me the next year.

    Apparently it takes a while to get into your system and when I was checked the next year my level had just barely eked into the normal range. He told me I could decrease it and just take it every other day. Guess I skipped more days than I thought because when I was rechecked a few weeks ago it slipped a little under again.

    Mine is always low too. They doubled my dosage this past year.

    From what I understand, the little white pills of D3 don't absorb properly. You need a gel cap with the D3 in suspention in a non GMO oil.

    And during flu season, even 8-12,000 IUs is not too much.
