VITAMIN " D " deficiency adult male

it all started in 2016 when i took admission in a new college far from home .. within a month i noticed some changes in my body like i used to have a thick healthy hair which started falling in huge amount and my body was well toned also i started losing weight ... by passing days i started feeling very exhausted, always tired , confusions , slurred speech, irritation, unknown feeling of fear , depressed, memory loss , insomnia, muscle loss etc .. i consulted physician and they had my complete blood test which came back normal . But the symptoms were for real which were hard to explain and stress levels were on peak which boosted my symptoms. After a year all of a sudden my back started paining in the pelvis first and then spine which was very severe, i was not able to sit for at least 1 hour, one more year passed these symptoms were at their peak level .. at the end of my college life i was like living in hell with those symptoms that affected my daily life .. i did nothing other than resting in bed .. stress levels at peak i consulted more doctors but they also had my blood and endocrine tests which came back normal .. after some months a day came where i was crying in pain of my spine i went to a neurologist to check weather if i had any problems with my nerves or something .. there he ordered MRI scanning of spine and vitamin d blood test .. surprisingly vitamin d levels were low (13 ng/mol). At first he said nothing to worry and prescribed me some tablets shelcal xt and trypentin for 2 months . Those 2 months course were like hell for me . after 2 months again i visited that doctor and he prescribed me multivitamins for two more months ..after completion of that course on the last day of that tablet i felt better .. and now my vitamin d levels are at 28.3 ng/mol ..

i still have some pain in my back .. hair is falling.. sometimes i feel low on energy .. now i decided to take d3 tablets to raise my vitamin d levels .
