"I've had low back pain and other aches and pains for years. Definitely have arthritis and mild fibromyalgia. Now wondering if this has anything to do with it! "
I would think it has everything to do with it! Vitamin D deficiency is sometimes misdiagnosed AS Fibromyalgia. I read that 40-60% of Fibromyalgia diagnoses are wrong and are actually Vitamin D deficiency.
I don't know anything about the enzymes questions. Maybe Larry will happen along. He is really smart about all this.
As far as the prescription goes, I had one too. But I chose to go find my D3 elsewhere because the pharmacies didn't think there was a difference in the vitamins D2 and D3 other than one is not as potent as the other. Well, there IS a difference.
I bought the BioTech brand. There is a webstore where you can get as few as 12 pills for about $18, plus about $5-6 for S&H. I found a bottle of 100 of them for $24 so I just got that. Here's a link, http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=1070
Hopefully, Larry will see that there is new interest in the thread and be able to address your questions better than I can.
