Does anyone know what it means when your vitamin D levels are at 177.5, the normal levels are between 0 and 70. I feel like it's the Lyme. I have not seem any improvements from the antibiotics, I feel like it has to do with the vitamin D. Wasn't taken vitamin D pills either. Anyone else experience this? Or know what it means?

Hi Jake:
D3 is converted to Hydroxy 125 by the liver. It is the HD levels that matter. If yours is 177 it is high.
Our daughters was down to 17 from the Lyme, we try to keep it between 60 and 80.

First I would suspect that there was an error with the test.

- Jake,
You say: "have not seem any improvements from the antibiotics" (end quote)
Are you seeing an ILADS educated lyme literate MD or ND? That is key.
Have coinfections been assessed? Are you gluten-free, dairy-free?
No need to answer, just the basics to check off.
You don't say how long you've been treating. It can take months, or even years to feel better. Sorry. Depends on so much, though. Just be sure that you are with an ILADS doctor and that they have you good support measures, too. Especially liver & adrenal support.
And explore the range of tick borne infections to consider. -
