43 is defecient. The optimum level for treating disease is 70-100 ng. I doubt even if you were at the optimum level you would be able to maintain it at 5K IU/day dosage. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/05/10/vitamin-d-recommended-dietary-allowance.aspx If I had MS and had your level I would go on 50,000 IU/day for 3 months, have your levels tested again, then adjust dosage as necessary. DON’T forget to take Vit K2 as well. I am NOT a doctor, but I have studied D3 levels for more than 3 years now. After a search on PUBMED for cases/dosages of D3 toxicity, I was unable to find many and those that did have toxic levels were made toxic in the hospital with a dose of 1,000,000 and more. Once dosage was reduced all symptoms disappeared with no residual outcome. Here is a case report of 2,000,000 IU in one dose (iatrogenic) with NO residual effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25269374 I have read that it is not so much D3 toxicity as it is K2 deficiency. So take the K2 as well. My recommendation for D3 is Bio-Tech D3-50, and Life Extension Super K Advanced K2 complex. The K2 dosage is 1 capsule for every 10,000 IU of D3. I personally have taken this combination for well over 6 months will no ill effects. BUT everyone is different so listen to your body and TEST! Good luck to you.
