Vitamin D deficiency: anyone had this?
Just Want to Talk | Last Active: Apr 3, 2023 | Replies (42)Comment receiving replies
I have low Vitamin D. Started with 5000 units every day and developed the debilitating bone pain. I would wake up at night crying in pain.
Once I stopped taking Vitamin D pain went away.
I have tried lower dose and this only raises my number very slightly.
Maybe if I took with Vitamin K that would help.??

A few years ago I had low vit. D. My doctor at the time gave me an injection. I don’t recall much more then this. I’d ask the doctor and pharmacist. The doctor should know about your symptoms if he/she doesn’t. Bone pain with a supplement….not sure. Don’t know about vit k. Hope you get some help.
When it comes to vitamins, because they affect so much of the body, I tend to want to talk to a really really good endocrinologist. Having said that, my endocrinologist recommends about 1200 units of vitamin D so maybe 5,000 units is too high. I do get some vitamin levels checked when I do routine blood work so that probably helps get the dose right. But, as hard as they are to find, a physician with a really thorough understanding of nutrition and vitamin needs, is the best place to get some personalized guidance.

@callalloo I was diagnosed with Vit D deficiency but instructed to take medication once a week.
