IAm suffering from vit D deficient.Mine is 15.
I have been on 50,000UI/week for last 4 weeks.
leg muscle pain
BP issues
breatheless
dizziness
Things are very slow in improvement.
When will I improve?
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.
What were your symptoms?.
I ate peanuts and it looks like it flared up things..is tht possible?.
Main symptoms were bone pain, depression, no energy.
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.
130/80 then 150/80.
I am taking anti hypertensives because I have had high blood pressure for years,
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.
hello Shiva, how long did it take you to recover. Its 7 months since you posted.
my vitamin was 8 and beeen 2 months, my dizziness/unsteady still occurs once a while.
Wanted to know how long it takes to recover.
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
