Relief with Vitamin D increase

Posted by vostie @vostie, 17 hours ago

I am now over 6 years into my long covid journey and one of my more significant problems has been getting a good nights sleep with the pain from inflammation. I had blood work done a few months ago showing my vitamin D was in the low range of normal and had recently heard that vitamin D supplementation might help with neuroinflammation so I tried it...with my docs permission.

I tried 2000 iu daily for several months and had no change to my condition. I then took 10,000 iu each night and by week three I was sleeping better...sometimes though the entire night waking only to turn over. I also seen to have more motivation and am needing less rest breaks during the day. I will be continuing the dose daily since I am having good results.

Please keep in mind that vitamin D may have anticoagulant effects (e.g. blood thinning) so check with your doc before trying and ensure it does not interact with other meds you are taking.
