Vitamin D deficiency

Thanks for your reply, it was all supposed to of been checked, apparently my iron was slightly low but neuro said the vit d was more important have to see gp for pain management review, (been on morphine, since November) so will ask again, had theses blood tests in Feb but only just been told something is wrong

Must admit I didn't till I started reading up on it, it does seem to fit a lot of my symptoms, do you suffer with coldness? I am always freezing and feet get so cold they take hours to warm up?

Yes but head sweats too. Numbness. Pins and needles. Dizzyness. Exhaustion sleeping up to 18hrs a day at worst.

Hello I was tested fit d at my request after a friend advised it. My level is 34 and have fulfilment d3 80gramsnper day. I have a range of symptoms like everyone else. I suppose I just wanted to join in for mutual support. I feel emotional reading the forum as I am realising how "poorly" I have felt. Pins and needles in face, arm, hands, pain all many joints, difficulty walking, poor circulation. I have just grown to expect it but would love to hear positive progress from others. My GP was quite dismissive - I feel li should go back and ask for discussion or is there any benefit in asking for a referral - but to whom? Thank you :-)

Hi, sorry you've been so ill, how you feeling now? Have you started on vit d supplement? I have only 2 doses yet to feel better but time will tell, have you been back to dr? I have been passed from pillar to post and now with gp, my level was 13.1 ( though was told 12) take 40000 huxd3 once a week

Hello thanks for your message. I have been taken supplement for two weeks and have 3 months as my target die reviewing how I feel. I am optimistic as I must have had low bit d for many years due to my vitiligo - hardly any melanin in skin to process vit d. I shall request a blood test before lowering the dose. Good luck - perhaps we can touch base in few months to see how we feel :-)

Hi glad your feeling better, approx 18 months ago I tumbled and broke 4/5 vertebra, when I eventually got our of hospital and visited my GP he did a bits blood test and I had no vit d he put me on a loading dose of 4 a day for a month then did another blood test of which I showed a little, since then I have to take 1 daily but am still in pain and get really tired and they say there are no symptom to a vitD deficiency

Yes I feel better in that I am doing something different I.e. Taking vitamin D and am hopeful I will feel the benefits soon. It's only been a couple of weeks since the diagnosis so early days. I am sorry to hear of your physical pain, I hope you're able to get support and advice.

Hi Joanna hope your feeling better soon I' m working on it.

Thank you, you too. I am new to using this forum so not sure how to work my way around it. All responses have been appreciated!
