After my flu vaccination last year, I’ve been suffering many recurrent throat infection, then since the last July after an infection I found new disorders in my body started by burning sensation , sweating an sleep disorder , the symptoms gradually changed to extreme tiredness , fatigue , sleep disorder , sever constipation , joint pain, eye pain ,urinary frequency .

I referred to GP  many time after having blood test x-ray and ultrasound I was told just my vitamin D3 is low but I am suffering the sever pains as I said above, I was given Bisacody 5mg  Vitamin D3 800 , and TEMAZEPAM  20 mg but didn’t help , I don’t know what to do because I have to carry on my work and don’t know what to do and what is the treatment,

    How many times have you posted this?  I keep finding another copy!

    If you're asking whether it is your flu jab that caused you to feel like this,  it doesn't usually..  Temazepam could cause some of the side effects you mention

    https://patient.info/medicine/temazepam

    It is addictive.  I wouldn't want to take it for any length of time.

    The Bisocodyl is for your constipation 

    What is your diet like?  You can generally deal with constipation by eating a diet with plenty of fruit and Veg and also, plenty of fluids...........ie water

    You should probably go back to your GP if things haven't improved

      If you are taking this, it can leave you feeling drowsy.

      I think you ought to go to your doctor again and ask him whether you can stop taking everything that you currently take and see how you feel once they have disappeared from your system.  Include the over the counter medications in this.  You ought to feel better within a fortnight but it could take 4 weeks.

      Then, start the Adcal D3 or whatever you take and see how you feel.  I was prescribed Adcal D3 and I didn't feel well but couldn't put a finger on it, so I stopped taking it.  I was prescribed it because I have been taking [prescribed] steroids for 3 years.

      Perhaps you won't need anything to help with constipation.

      Let me know how you get on.

    I have hot sweats, extreme tiredness, insomnia, sore and gritty eyes and frequent urination. I was also diagnosed with extreme vitamin D deficiency in May. I assumed all these symptoms were steroid side effects and PMR symptoms, so have taken nothing apart from getting some eye drops from the chemist.  I was also given vit D supplement by my GP. My vit D count is now 52, ie normal, I think it was also improved by lying out in the sun and relaxing which helps combat the tiredness. If I can't sleep I read, listen to the radio or play with my iPad!  I have also got rid of the constipation by eating vast amounts of veg and some fruit, but no gluten or simple carbs.

    I forgot to say I work for a small electronics company and have a fantastic office chair that I can tip back and relax in, which I find really helps while I build up my stamina for the next email or whatever. I also find swimming helps the pain, after a swim in a warm pool I feel much better. I then have a shower with the hot water warming my shoulders which is shere bliss. The only downside is my friends keep telling me I smell of chlorene.
