Vitamin D deficiency success stories

Thank you so much for the information. It looks like it's going to be a long recovery for me but summer is around the corner, which I am very much looking forward to. Hopefully with the sun it will help me feel much better.

I hope vitamin d deficiency is the culprit for all my symptoms and not something else on top of this deficiency. My doctor's aren't certain that it's just the vitamin d. Which is scaring me. That's why I've been seeing specialist after specialist right now to rule out any medical condition or illness.

I am praying that it's just vitamin d deficiency.

Take care

For anyone who has vitamin d deficiency please have your vitamin b6 levels checked also. It could be the cause of your symptoms. After 8 months of suffering with endless test. I had vitamin b6 toxicity from only taking a multivitamin with 25mg.

After stopping my multivitamin my symptoms are improving. I am now healing and recovering.

Vit too much B6 can cause spasms .

These supplements have to be treated with care.

​Tarro have sent a PM with a link to hypertyhroidism and hypothyroidism and myopathy.

 

TYPOS> Too much Vit B6 can cause spasms.

 

Hi Jane,

Thank you for the link. I went to a follow up with my neurologist and I asked him about my raised level of vitamin b6, he said it couldn't have caused my symptoms plus it wasn't is criteria to deal with and He left it as that.

But my primary doctor said that the cause of my symptoms could be from vitamin d deficiency and vitamin b6 toxicity. That's why she is sending me to see a rhuematologist to rule out other things.

I won't be able to see a rhuematologist until two more months. My symptoms seem to improve then goes back to worse. So frustrating.

Can vitamin d deficiency or vitamin b6 toxicity cause random spikes of high blood pressure and random irregular heartbeat? I've been seen by the cardiologist and everything was normal.

Hi dambudzo,

Can I ask what level were you at when symptoms started to resolve?

we didn't bother monitoring too frequently  because at the end of the day it was the pain and not the number which was important.

i took the supplements as prescribed by the doctor and i made sure the sun reached my skin for at least half an hour a day during summer.

the pain went.

some months later i had my vitamin D level tested and it was up to a satisfactory level.

 

Hi again  I have just sent a PM with a link to Hypervitaminosis and B6 toxicity.  Take care  Jane xx

Hi. I'm having all the pain you described. I've been on the protocol of K, magnesium, D for about 6 weeks now. My d level, per blood labs, rose from 16 to 42, but I still have excruciating bone, muscle and nerve pain, particularly at night. Last night, it was just unbearable. Not that I want you to have been in pain, but it is good to know that I may need to be patient. It's just hard sticking this all out because everyone thinks you are crazy and a hypochrondriac and making this stuff up and it's hard to make any plans because you never which nights you are going to be able to sleep, and therefore, be able to function the next day. Most days, I can't function because of severe pain the night before, but of course, I need to work, and try to see friends. Don't feel I can tell friends much about this. They look at me like I'm crazy, plus I've already been through this long crazy journey, so they are so done with me and my health issues https://ourheartspeaks.org/gail-snow/

I feel the same way as you do. I worry that something else is going on.

 

Hello , how are you feeling. I was just diagnosed with d deficiency. I have severe neuropathy below the knees and also in the arms. Bone pain as well. Did you experience these symptoms as well?

Hi just wondering how you are feeling. I have the same symptoms you described. Can I ask where you had the nerve pain?

Hi diana,

I am so sorry you're feeling unwell. Hope you get better really soon.

You have two very clear indications of B12 deficiency; (1) your b12 blood level is 219 pg/ml (normal 560pg/ml) (2) you are experiencing tingling and numbness and these are classic b12 deficiency symptoms, according to Sally Pacholok (B12 expert) anything neurological or psychiatric, there's a high chance it's due to B12 deficiency. I'm not surprised your physician didn't tell you about this, as I also have experienced similar situation, most physicians are very ill educated about this

NEUROLOGICAL SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF B12 DEFICIENCY

 • abnormal sensations (pain, tingling and/or numbness of legs, arms, trunk, or other area) 

• diminished sense of touch, pain, and/or temperature

• weakness (legs, arms, trunk, or other area)

 • clumsiness (stiff or awkward movements) 

• tremor 

• symptoms mimicking Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis 

• spasticity of muscles 

• incontinence (urine and/or stool) 

• paralysis 

• vision changes (decreased vision or loss of vision) 

• damage to the optic nerve (optic neuritis, inflammation, or atrophy of the optic nerve) 

MENTAL CHANGES

Source: Could It Be B12

Author commented about aduqate B12 levels saying and I quote: ''At this time, we believe normal serum B12 levels should be greater than 550pg/ml. For brain and nervous system health and prevention of disease in older adults, serum B12 levels should be maintained near or above 1,000 pg/ml.'' 

So please convince your physician to give you B12 injections or find another physician who will because there are very clear signs as B12 deficiency is systematic as wages war against your whole nervous system.

 

Diana,

Hi June,

How you doing now....

My symptoms are same as your... Also my blood pressure shoot up some days in month...

Dr says it will take 4-5 weeks for some improvement after giving 60000 iu d3 oral solution (weekly), vitamin b12, b6, K2,k7, magnesium , and also calcium supplements daily..

My pain is bearable but due to fatigue , dizziness,lack of interest m not able to do daily chores properly...

So trying to do 15 min yoga atleast, good diet and taking supplements , I hope a few days and I will be fit again.. hope and pray same for you too.

I know im a little late but my level is 18 and I've been dealing with these exact symptoms , the same numbing and tingling feelings on the same body parts. All my other vitamin levels are completely fine and my B12.
