I have been reading about the importance of vitamin D in particular and vitamin C. My husband, who has a different pulmonary doctor than I do was prescribed a high dose of vitamin D and it comes as a prescription. My doctor has not prescribed it for me. I will talk to my doctor about it next time I go, but I wondered if any or all of you guys were also taking vitamin D as it is supposed to be good for lung function and excaberation prevention. If you are taking it......how much?
THANKS Doris! Sounds like our Drs. are on the same page
I’m at the severe stage and would like, at least to be able to get the oxygen to my lungs. I can only hope that someone has an answer to my problem or at least some ideas as to what to do.
I thank you for reading my post.

Which doctor or place are you getting them from?
I have to ask for everything from my doctors, they never recommend anything.

I don’t sleep well at night either, which doesn’t help.
Maybe I could use an injection of B12 sunshine?!
I asked my primary care doctor. She had me take a blood test and now I get them every month at the clinic my doc works at
I can tell a bid difference if I use my CPAP at night or it comes off or I… read more
what foods have naturally got vitamin d
thankyou all for all your answers,xx all breath easy xx
All reading I have found says that VitaminD is NOT made by the body and MUST be taken in by Dietary and/or outside supplements. My Doc will not budge on recommending Statins when he sees my LDL numbers. The plot just thickened:

Your thoughts?
The article shown is the reason there's so much research going on now to see if simvastatins actually make a difference in people with COPD and if so, with what geno and phenotypes. I suspect it will… read more
I’m wondering if certain vitamins make it easier to get up mucus. Also I’d there a place to go for these questions. Health to all.
Mucinex is helping me now with pnemonia! The expectorant.
Are vitamins beneficial? I take B12 and D3 . I feel better, however, my internist said she only recommends D3.. my CBC (blood) is normal.
Thanks for comments.
