It’s just a blood test! I am in Ontario, Canada and it is only covered when the patient has: Osteoporosis and Osteopenia Rickets Malabsorption Syndromes Renal Disease Patients on medications that affect vitamin D metabolism. I just looked up the cost from a local lab and it’s $78. I would not have been a financial hardship to pay for this. Being off work for several months (cause likely exasperated by the deficiency) is orders of magnitude more expensive. I have been on lithium in the past so I don’t see how there would have been an issue ordering it given the potential for bone loss while on the drug (I had to get bone scans anyways). I will reserve my rant about the absurd challenges in accessing surgical options for birth control or gender affirming hysterectomy but I am happy you were able to yeeterus.
