@johnwes5819 Somehow, I missed the info that you are taking mega doses of Vitamin D . This can be toxic! Hypervitaminosis D is NOT caused by sun exposure ( it is erroneous advice to tell you it is) nor by diet . Your body regulates the amount of vitamin D produced by sun exposure, and even fortified foods are not loaded with excess vitamin D. The problem with too much vitamin D is that it causes calcium to accumulate in your blood. Symptoms of hypercalcemia include - weakness, bone pain, kidney problems nausea, vomiting, confusion, abdominal pain.. and other symptoms from MANY different parts of your body.

@slynnb @johnwes5819 I wanted to pass along something I learned from my environmental medicine doctor about Vitamin D supplements. He does test my blood vitamin D levels to optimize them, and the supplement he has me take is both Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 because the K2 is to regulate and prevent the excess calcium to be deposited in the blood stream. That supplement is from Orthomolecular, and just called K2 D3. Vitamin K is really important, and if you don't get this in your diet, it should be in your Vitamin D supplement.
Here is an explanation of how K2 inhibits the deposition of calcium on the wall of blood vessels.

@slynnb I was taking 50,000 iu of vitamin D3 once per week not daily. Then I developed a kidney stone a few weeks after taking it. After that, I started taking vitamin K2 alongside the D3. My blood levels are now in range so I'm no longer taking it. But my issues had been going on long before I even started D3.
