    My level was at 17, and it took months for me to feel better, my doctor said it takes 3 months for it to get back in your system, it is a lengthy process unfortunately, but you will get better, just give it time.

    Clare, I have found your reply helpful, thank you.  My level is also at 17 & I know that it takes about 3 months to get into your system.

    My symptoms are bone pain & this incredible lethargy.  My blood pressure is erratic.

    My Consultant has given me 100 days of Colecalciferol 1000iu

    Are you on a maintenance dose now?

      Iam not on maintenance dose yet.

      I take 60000 units per week for 10 weeks.

      What are your erratic bp readings??

      Mine was 150/100 with no reason.

      I didn't have any blood pressure problems, have you mentioned this to your doctor? The only issue I had was skipped heart beats and chest pain, read this can be caused by magnesium deficiency as vitamin d can zap your levels. I still take vitamin d daily, on the recommendation of my doctor

      They are aware of my BP  but my GPs may not know about my Vit D levels yet.  I am under 5 different Consultants so it is a bit busy!!  I have only been taking the supplements for just over 2 weeks, could do with a magic wand to speed things up a bit.

    I saw my bone specialist recently & was told that my Vit D is back to normal, though, stupidly, I forgot to ask what it actually was.  I do, however, have to continue taking the Vit D for ever.

    I have recently been diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, which doesn't help.

    I am currently waiting for an appt with a Rheumatologist for the Sjogren's & a Cardiologist for the hypertension.

    My BP went to 230/125 last summer & I ended up in A&E twice because of nose bleeds.

    I already see a Dermatologist, Oral Consultant, Ophthalmologist & Bone Specialist
