Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX

Welcome back to HCM. I have gone through your questions and understand your concerns.

Your latest report is fairly OK. You now need maintenance dose of vitamin D which is 1000 iu daily ( available as vitamin D capsules) or 60,000 iu every 2 months. You can retest after 6 months, 2 months after the last dose. Based on that report we can adjust the dose.

If you have persistent aches and pains check your ESR and uric acid.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further questions, I will be pleased to help you.

Regards
Dr Ajish TP
