Thank you Ann for looking up that info about Vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. That helps to make things clearer.
Re. iron supplements, it is interesting, Andrea, that you are taking ferrous glutonate instead of ferrous sulphate. I had wondered if that might be a better option for me too, as I have a history of iron sulphate causing stomach and esophogal problems, (see my post above). I'll ask my doctor and see what she says. There's also Ferrous Fumerate, apparently. Anyone know if that's of any interest to us? I'm really pleased to hear that your symptoms are less now, Andrea - it gives me hope that carefully monitored iron treatment can help considerably in controlling this mysterious WED.
