I started with lower back and bum pain nearly 4½ years ago and over the last year or so the pain got worse..I get it everywhere ..my neck..my lower/upper back..shoulders..arms..hands..fingers..legs..knees..ankles and toes..you name it..that's where the pain is..I recently had blood tests done for kidney problems..thyroids..arthritis and a few other things..my results came back as vitamin d deficiency.. I've been taking fultium 20,000 iu everyday for nearly 3 months an there is no change..I'm still in pain..I'm still always tired..I have moodswings and feel lathargic at times..does anyone know how long it takes for vitamin d3 to take affect

3 months of that dose should have had some effect. Low levels of vit D are commonly found in autoimmune disorders - and if that is what is causing your symptoms replenishing the vit D won't have a lot of effect.
I think seeing a different doctor might be a good move - and a rheumatology referral, not a GP looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hiya eileen I've read a lot about autoimmune disorder and I thought that myself..the doctors have just put my symptoms down to my lack of vitamins but if I don't feel any change within a couple of weeks I will go back to the doctors..think that will be the best solution and have further tests done
