this thread has been an eye opener for me. my son was diagnosed with osteopenia when he was 10 after breaking the growth plate in his wrist twice in 6 months. he was put on 1000mg of calcium and 400 of vitamin d. in 8 months it had worsened significantly and he now has osteoporosis. nothing has helped and it's been almost 6 years. a few months ago i started him on 2000iu of d3 and he'll get another bone scan at the beginning of august. any idea how quickly we could see a change? i'm really hoping we'll see improvement this time.
also, whenever i go out in the sun, if i don't put sunscreen on my lips, i get fever blisters. i have 9 right now and they are painful. that was from a few hours in the sun. i didn't burn anywhere but my face since the rest of my body is tanned from frequent beach trips. i typically put sunscreen on my face but not anywhere else. if i continue taking d3, will my risk of getting fever blisters decrease?
