My doctors office just called and said my Vit D number was 11 which e said was the lowest he has seen of any of his patients in the last 25 years. He is calling in a script and really worried as I am a stoke survivor. Glad I went in when my muscles started feeling weaker.

Comment on Vitamin D and Your Baby by Beth

Since when was formula required for a baby’s diet? Really? Breastmilk and normal trips outside are sufficient. In cold weather climates maybe some vitamin D drops that are over the counter. I can’t believe that someone would assume that some man made powder is better for a baby than its mother’s milk. No offense to those who choose formula, but its definitely not a necessity.

Was worried about the 50th. units twice a week, but see other people say thats what you need. I feel much better after reading your comments on here. I also have been fighting depression and fibromyalgia for a time, am also happy to see I am not the only one with these symptons. So tired of hearing “just get out and do something” so just not right of people to say that. Only you know how your body really feels. I just want you all to know I feel so much better already from reading all the posts on here. Thank-You so much!

was diagnosed with severe Vit D deficincy – my number as a 9. taking 50,000 units weekly for 6 weeks, then more bloodwork. prior to being diagnoised started having severe pain and stiffness in left upper arm and shoulder – went to doctor who assumed was rotator cuff syndrome – no tests – - – wondering now if Vit D is the culprit – might be my imagination but 2-3 days after my weekly dosage it seems my arm pain is less severe – we’ll see

Comment on Symptoms of Low Vitamin D Levels by stacey

I have been suffering with leg and foot pain for over a year. I went to family practice doctor who said there was nothing wrong with me last year. I could not sleep at all. I then went to two podiatrists who also did not check my vitamin D, which i did request. I was in so much pain, went to the ER, they sent me home too. After must frustation, and many appts, I am finally on Vitamin D supplements. My level was at 11 a week ago. I am not sure why doctors don’t do this test to rule out other things when someone comes in complaining of unexplained pain. I feel as though I lost a year of my life to something fairly easy to correct. After reading the comments here, many suffered much longer than I did.

I agree with the lady Annabelle, I have the same problems to. I have talked to my dr., also and I have weight gain to. I have had a heart attack that is what scares me this is when it started to happen. I have asked for things to help me loose weight she says I would have to deal with it because I have already had a blood clot.

so this morning the penny finally dropped for me… laying in bed, can’t sleep, again. knees n legs aching, again. i am compiling my symptoms and the fact that i seem to have a ‘change of seasons’ disease when i have a random thought, ‘spring fever’ that the old grandma’s treated with cod liver oil, cod liver oil led to vitamin d, i do get sick more in winter, omg, could it really be that simple? vit d, this whole time it has been vit d??!! this is the second page i pulled up n as i read the symptoms i started to cry, there it was, in black n white, every single symptom. 30 years i have been sick, 30 years putting up with the thinly veiled scorn n patronizing ‘women’ looks n ‘it’s all in your head’ or (my personal fave) ‘it’s all your fault, if you would just lose some weight’ 30 years those self servings bastards have been taking my money for test after test ‘gallbladder’ ‘thyroid’ ‘graves’ ‘hashimoto’s’ to tell me nope, not that, everything is ‘normal’ normal??!!
meanwhile my family acts like i am doing this *on purpose* n am just lazy or a hypochondriac n my own personal research leads me down every path but the right one, which made me doubt myself… was i really sick? *was* it all in my head? well, now i know n by god you can bet in the next couple days i will know everything there is to know about VDD n its effects.
a couple very important parts of the puzzle that i think every one is missing (n i read 50 or so pages of the comments) is the role of pro and prebiotics and fermented foods on gut health, immune boosting and vitamin creation/absorbtion and ‘bone broth’ for gut, joint, and bone health.
i cannot begin to tell you what a relief this is, to know…. to finally know.. but, i don’t have to do i? you guys have all been down the same road, and now we can go down it together, helping each other along the way, not alone in our suffering anymore. i am going to leave this page up n will refresh it a couple times a day if anyone has any questions or wants to talk.

Comment on Too Much Vitamin D Side Effects by Dorothy

Dr. has me on 10000 iux7 for 6 weeks. It is no wonder I feel the way I do. I was beginning to think something awful was wrong with me. By the sound of things after reading the above comments, it is the Vitamin D. Seeing my Dr. for follow-up this week, so hoepfully we will get this resolved. 70000 iu a week for a 105 lb woman is probably no so good. I wake up at night severely nauseous and it scares me. Always thought of myself as having a stomach made of steel!
