Hi Barbaracat
Here's a link with a short something about Vit D and adrenals, but I never really found anything on the internet about it, it was what one doctor told me when she was explaining how Vit D affected moods (she said it was through the proper regulation of the adrenal glands, which in turn handled the mood chemicals).

Yes, my daughter only had the one megadose. My other daughter was low as well and also had a megadose. Here are the actual numbers:June 2004: Jo tested at 16 nmol/l (normal range is 50-150 nmol/l) Jo weighs about 50 kg. Had a megadose of 3 mcg? of calcifediol.
July 2004: Jo tested at 86 nmol/l. Took supplements of 400iu a day.
Jan 2005: Jo tested at 68 nmol/l. Have now upped her supplements to 1000iu a day. Will get her retested this July.
June 2004: Pat tested at 22 nmol/l. Pat weighs about 72 kg. After the one megadose of 3 mcg? of calcifediol:
July 2004: Pat tested at 72 nmol/l. Took no supplements for the next 6 months, but 'basked' most mornings in the sun for 10-15 minutes.
Jan 2005: Tested at 67 nmol/l. Not as great a loss as Jo (who continued to see no sun but supplemented at 400iu a day for the same period). Pat now on 1000iu a day, will get retested in July.Me. I got myself tested in January with the girls. Test results: 48 nmol/l. I am also taking 1000iu a day for six months, will get retested in July.
Hope this helps Barbaracat.
Bye now
