Hi, Brianna, rickets happens in developing bones, i.e., children. If you are an adult, you might have osteomalacia (bone softening), osteopenia (low bone mineral density), or osteoporosis (bone mineral density so disrupted that fractures easily occur). Get your doctors to contact Dr. Michael F. Holick at Univ of Boston Med Center so he or his staff can help trouble-shoot your low vit D. If anyone can figure out why your D is not increasing, it is Dr. Holick. Dr. Holick is a scientist and physician. Congratulations on the article that was written about you!
I am not saying this is wrong, but My Vitamin D level sucks and so far knock on wood I have been clean. My vitamin D level is so low that they are considering that I may actually have rickets in addition to OI. For my sake... I almost hope this is wrong.
