    Hi Jason

    I was diagnosed with low vit D about 2 years ago my level was 10. Like yourself I was given a high level boost for a few weeks and the level was raised. At the time I felt dreadful was going back and forth to Dr for weeks and they couldnt find anything wrong until a vit D test was carried out. My symptoms were constant fatigue dreadful pain in muscles which in turn led me to feeling very depressed as I didnt want to do anything. It was a struggle to get out bed in the morning. I actually thought there was something seriously wrong with me. It did ease over time and I still take 3000/5000 a day although theres conflicting advice as to whether this is too much. Dr's never seem to be very accommodating in offering this test am guessing it may be expensive but you can order a kit online to check.

    Do hope your symptoms improve soon but can be a slow process. Try to get outdoors as much as possible as I found that did help even though that was the last thing I wanted to do! Hang on in there and keep us posted. Good Luck

    It could be, or it could be lack of sleep. It could be symptoms of anxiety or something else. There are lots of things it could be.
