Hi @michaelsz, I also take vitamin D3 as part of my neuropathy supplements but not at the high doses that you have taken. I take 50 mcg daily which I think equates to 2,000 iu. I've not read of neuropathy symptoms from vitamin D toxicity. Here are a few references that might help explain it better.

I also have balance issues with my neuropathy and do exercises but also focus on other things to hopefully help to prevent falling. It's good to hear that your symptoms have improved since you stopped taking vitamin D. I usually discuss the supplements I take with my primary care doc at my annual checkup. Have you discussed the symptoms and improvements with your doctor?

I stopped vitamin D but I didn’t feel any improvement.
what do you and others do as exercises to deal with balance issues to prevent falling?
John, I think you are the mentor that read referring to Large Fiber Neuropathy that led me to learn about the difference in Small Fiber Neuropathy. The autonomic nervous system started to make sense to me. I too have balance problems but no sensory symptoms. Made it hard to diagnose. My horses don't like it.

Yes. It was my error that I took such a high dose. I have discussed and have follow up with my MD. Thx for responding.
