Now experiencing nausea, stomach pain, calcium oxalate in urine, upset stomach and increased blood pressure. My internist wants me to go to a urologist. My endocrinologist says to decrease dosage of vitamin D to 50,000 IUs every other week until he sees me in March (in 5 weeks). Wondering why he didn't say take a blood test to see your vitamin D level NOW. Will ask urologist or internist do to this test for me. THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD COMMENTS ON THIS SITE USEFUL SITE!!

Turns out I had a vitamin D level of 5 and a thyroid problem as well that no doctor could find in a decade of my life! I understand everyone's frustration and concern about whats next. I was first tested for my TSH, which my doc said was fine at a 5, it wasnt. Endo's like it under 3.0 now. they then tested my anti bodies for hashimotos. That came back as positive as well. I was given levothyroxine 50mg. and 50,000 units of D for 3 weeks daily then once a week. I have found that I even need to take 10,000 units of liquid d daily to keep pain away. Before I knew what this all was, I did try to take calcium for the bone pain and got nothing but 2 hospital stays for kidney stones. The thyroxine has only mildly helped, many issues have not gone away including tinnitus and eye twitching, I also dont know if D level is high enough yet to stop it either. It has made tiredness worse too. This all leads me to suspecting an adrenal issue as well and possibly a pituitary problem. I have found this hormone/ vitamin balance thing to be so hard and so frustrating. Im glad we are all trying to help each other, but, Im finding everybody's body is going to be different and striking the right combo is so personal. Good luck to all and I will rewrite if I can ever find my right balance. I was absolutely miserable for 10 years after an adrenal tumor removal.

I do not like to take meds of any kind with out knowing why I have the problem and need the med. My doctor wants me to start 50k and do that everyweek until it gets better then also I have to take b12 shots because it is low. But when studying all the reasons I have lots of symptoms that I did realize I had but one thing i have is a thyroid problem and reading some very important information is Parathyroid glands which I would recommend anyone with low vit d read about. I have only been told to day and already made appt with my thyroid doc because if you take vit d and have a problem with your parathyroid glands it can cause your calicum level to go high and go high enough to cause you to have a stroke or other problems. I am 42 tired and have enough problems with out adding to them so I want to know excactly what is the problems coming from before I start treatment. In reading the information I did it is one of the number one missed diagnose there is so good luck to everyone and hope it all gonna ended up as just a def of vit d and supplement will work. but if your supplement is not working you may want to check alittle deeper and also have your calicum checked. and it does not have to be high for it to still be a parathryoid problems.

Took 50k for 8 weeks then down to 1k per doc's order. I have been bouncing between the low 30ngs and mid 40ngs in the summer. I now take 5k/day and am at 31ng. I will increase to 7k/day and see if that gets my levels up. Ive been trying to get them in the 50ng to 70ng range for some time. I have had balance dizziness lightheadedness muscle fatigue and weakness. Also found I had low testosterone, so dont know if that has played a role or what. I have had ringing in my ears, although docs had me on a abx for a parasite that I think gave me the ringing. I have also had issues with too much B6, which can cause nerve issues.

My Vit D level was 13.1!!! She told me to take 2000 IU's of vitamin daily, but after reading most of your comments, i'm becoming concerned that it seems too little. Any advice/input would be appreciated. I just had bloodwork done on January 23rd, after not seeing my MD since late 2009. My Vit D level was 13.1!!!

The numbness and sensations are the Vit D getting to them bones and nourishing them. Keep taking it. My (new) doc started me on a 8 week course. (1 a week for 8 weeks) I'm getting ready to take my fourth pill tomorrow and I'm excited (Lolol) because each time I take one I feel better and better) But I feel those funny sensations for a few days after I take one. Then they wane off. I've been having all kinds of horrible symptoms since March 2011 but the most debilitating was the all-over body pain and chronic fatigue. Both were all but gone five days after I took my first pill. This heavy dose of Vitamin D works. I just wonder will the problems the deficiency already caused me and my bones before it was diagnosed can be repaired. I agree with Annabelle.
