I'm over here thinking I have bone cancer, I've probably just been D deficient for YEARS. Had all of these symptoms. Bone pain, muscle pain and twitches. Scary stuff when you have an anxiety disorder 😭😄
I’m a blk woman and i literally look like a leopard all over my body i have white patches . It started on my leg and has managed to now be allover my body only to have Drs just look at me and shrug their shoulders . I knew that i was Vitamin D deficient and had to take RX supplements. Once i was finished no one ever tested me again. I’m seeing a new Dr and did blood work and I had to ask for a vitamin D panel 🙄 this should be standard . So I’m gonna assume with all the changes in my skin. Depression , lack of sleep and increased appetite
if you were to go to the doctor they would hype up your theory and start going in the cancer direction instead of just telling you hey this is what is wrong just start eating better.
I work nightshift, have for two years. Otherwise healthy but recently had some blood tests done and have shown VD deficiency. Symptoms were severe tiredness, sleeping from friday morning to saturday night only to wake for a small meal then back to bed until sunday afternoon. Dermatitis on my brow and legs, hair loss on my legs in patches, depression, bone aches especially in my ankles and wound healing from minor work related scrapes and cuts took ages to heal. Taking VD now and making sure I see the sun, all good 1 week later
My joints were inflammed all the time, bones felt old. Couldn't lose weight with exercise. Mind was extremely scattered and could not focus, and my muscle would twitch. I just started taking D3 every day as well as Ergocalciferol weekly because i was extremely deficient in vitamin D. I feel great after about 2 months. Who knew i was just deficient in vitamin D.
Having low vitamin D can cause hormonal imbalance in men, such as low testosterone and whole body hair loss which knows as alopecia which is mostly triggered by a vitamin D deficiency!
Someone please help me I'm at 8.9% in vitamins D and Nightfall happens to me 3 times a week I always feel weekness numbness and dizziness I'm suffering from brain fog too. My posture is so bad I can't even sit straight for a long time Muscle cramps happens everytime in my legs toes fingers when I stretch my body. help me please
I hate this so much. I'm in pain all day. I tried being in the sun but I'm still in pain. This really makes me depressed and weak. I'm often very dizzy and get headaches. I tried different things to bring it up but its so hard. I've been like this for years.
So… please doctor, tell me how long the spasms are supposed to last?? This is week 2 of vitamin D supplement; come Saturday it’ll be week 3… I’m freaking out!!!!!
I'm a male started taking vitamin d because my finger nails started looking really bad. ( Internet suggestion) . I did a loading phase for 2 days. About 7 days later my nails back to healthy but I noticed my labido is really high. I thought I was crushing it with vitamin c... But I been missing something all along.
Hi there. As of yesterday I found out I had vitamin d deficiency. The main symptoms I have had are tiredness and constant hunger, even after eating my stomach feels completely empty. Is the hunger a common symptom and will it improve whilst my vitamin d is replenished?
Hi im dealing with this problem too. Did you have a feeling of being disconnected to the touch? Like you know you are touching your arm but it doesnt feel right?
I’m not sure if I herd it right from my doctor be I was told 100-200 is normal range and my VD was at 13 so he proscribed my 50,000 capsules to take one a week for 13 weeks idk if that over kill sounds like it to me lol
I was diagnosed with D3 deficiency 2 months ago. The test showed 7.8. Since then, I have been experiencing mood swings, irritability, hair loss, sleep disorders, and unhappiness. My doctor prescribed Vitamin D3 medication, and I have been using it for 2 months. When will all the symptoms completely go away? In other words, how many months will it take?
im just gonna name all the symptoms i got, maybe you can relate to them. -headache (since today) -muscle twitches -muscles hurt -almost losing fait while walking (standing) -panic attacks -Not hungry -losing weight -Not really gaining weight
I am currently in bed having this symptoms. It started a week ago with fatigue and following weakness. I was in emergency room everything came normal. I found out accidentally by my another doctor blood order that I have super low Vit D deficiency. Still in bed can't do much around house
@@arthurmorgan9928 I just turned 40. What are you doing to help yourself in this symptoms? I was thinking at the beginning this is my heart problem but my ECG came normal
I realize i never had vitamin d. I never had any need to be out in the sun neither did i eat vitamin d food throughout my life. I even read lot of fitness articles not once did these nutheads mention vitamin d.
I have had Vitamin D for many years!! I also have osteoporosis in which I get a shot of Prolia every six months!! I was wondering if the two are related somehow??
I have been experiencing hair loss for a few months now, as well as being tired and dealing with full body weakness. In the last few weeks the weakness and lethargy have gotten worse, I've been having a lot of bloat, hot flasesh(feelin overheated), chills, cracking bones and my fibromyalgia, which was fine for a while, has been acting up, so I've been in quite a bit of pain. I've also gained quite a bit of weight and been super cranky. My Dr perscribed me a strong dose of Vitamin D, but what more natural ways can I get Vitamin D? I don't get outside much, so I don't get much sunlight and I also have a dairy allergy.
I had symptoms of Vit D deficiency I have not seen discussed. I developed allergy to almost all kinds of food, except rice and beef and after eating I would get very tired and after a few minutes develop bright red spots around my thighs all the way down to my feet but were not at all itchy. I went to 3 doctors and they were perplexed and one doctor finally said he could not help me and referred me to an allergist who had seen one other patient like me with the same symptoms that had Vit D deficiency. Tests showed I had very low Vit D. After taking Vit. D regularly since then, in 10 years I never had a cold again whereas I used to have a cold 2 or more times a year.
Funny because id get the red spots too. Especially when hitting the gym. My vitamin D was at 25ng/ml. Since ive taken 2000 iu of D3, but have only gone up to 28ng/ml… the minimum normal is 30. Wondering if i should double my dose? What were you at when tested? What’d you take, and how much did your levels rise?
@@arshiyamirza158 yes I felt anxiety and a bunch of other stuff. I think my bones were weaker because I fractured my foot at one point but then again I drank alcohol every weekend as well …still do. No more issues. However, I will also note that I am also taking iodine. I recommend you look up David Brownstein on iodine. I am way better now. I used to take thyroid meds. But not now more. Im good

@@c_mac7773 lol, I am diabetic 2 with hypoglycemia, and muslim, I have fasted most of my adult life 2 days a week and several months throughout the year. But the last 4 years I cant!
@@EllenCPickle that's shocking to me. I was beginning to believe that fasting could cure anything and everything. What's the reason you cannot fast for the last four years? Is it just too hard with all the complications you're having?
@@c_mac7773 fasting Islamically means no food or water from before sunrise until sunset, with diabetes and hypoglycemia it's unpredictable. I have renal failure stage 2 as well so it's not recommend for me anymore. I have a autoimmune disease call alkaptonuria, it gives me constant kidney stones and osteoarthritis..I have stones at any given time. It's just not recommended anymore. Up until a few years ago I fasted twice weekly, for Ramadan, and a few other months that have religious meaning.
I've had BPPV (vertigo) for 2..5 years. I have done physical therapy thus whole time. Still have balance issues. The doctor could never figure out why. He even gave me a lecture that drinking too much alcohol can make you dizzy. I don't drink. I just had myself tested and it turns out o have vitamin d defiency I hope that it will correct my bppv.
@@MrsYMD it's getting there. I went to my doctor and he told me to take 10,000IU of vitamin d per week for 3 months and go back to test my blood. Well after 3 months it went from severely deficient to deficient. Doctor told me to keep taking it as I have been. I have since read more on internet and it says for vitamin d defiency to take 10,000IU per day. So last week I started taking 3 times a week (30,000 IU per week) and finally yesterday and today, i feel like I have better balance. I think I might do as internet says and take 10,000IU per day since more seems to be helping. At least till I get it up to normal. I hope it works for you too. :)
@@kazzicup mine was 10, now it's up to 29.3. I lave now started taking more vitamin d and my balance seems a little better. I think I am going to take more until I can get it up to those levels.
So i got vitamin d deficiency my level is 17 from a blood test i took anyways also have fatty liver disease been on a diet of fish and chicken only for a while but i wanted to know if over the counter vitamin D3 gummies that are 10,000 iu would help me get my vitamin d levels back to normal or not with fatty liver disease?
Since you cannot overdose on vit d you can safely take a high dose of it without having the expensive tests . Most people are deficient so it is vital to increase the dose immediately and stay on it .
No issues my friend. I look and feel just fine. My chiropractor does these tests along with checking glucose levels. I’ve never been privy to this information beforehand. My primary care checked my blood levels in Dec and everything came back just fine.
Eggs contain every vitamin except vitamin C, so 2 eggs a day is perfect. Oatmilk contains vitamin D as well. Fish, chicken, a few other meats and veggies contain vitamin D.
Hey I’m just curious for a lot of guys out there who saw there vitamin D levels meet the norm, did you guys also see a boost in testosterone? I’m currently diagnosed with low T and I just wanna find out if anyone else has seen any results from this before.
Can you still be deficient and have +- 70 vit d on blood test ? Is this because of lack of calcium ? But then it still can give calcification of the artery so.. how should this be treathed ? 🤔 Just add d3 + k2 or also add the calcium ? Hm..
My bone or muscle aches are getting worse 😩 I’m also lactose intolerant & react really bad to milk. I’ve been diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency, should I let my doctor know my symptoms are getting worse ?
Ofcourse NO... Start supplementing with weekly dose for 8 weeks after that monthly maintenance dose for another 6 months Then go to doctor for further advice
as someone with vitamin d defiency this is true i currently have 11 vitamin D specifics that i have: Bone fracture increasment (the whole reason i realised i have the defiency (i fractured my right arm maybes: depression heart disease I Just realised this is the reason why i lose a arm wrestle to someone who cant open a ketchup packet
@@arthurmorgan9928one day I got low grade fever with cough and block nose. I suspect it was corona. After 4 days I started to feel dizzy. Dizzy like I've been drunk. After 10 days my left leg and hand started to feel heavy. With heart racing, numbness in lips thorat face. Shortness of breath. I did brain MRI it came normal and several blood test were normal. But had d3 diffiency. They gave tablet. But still i have this vertigo from 6 months. Then pressure in my temple of head do many other symptoms which m unable to describe. How are you now. Did anything help?
@@reenadsouza6273 Yes, i got muscle twitches at my whole body and my view is (not worse) but it just looks a bit different. I also found out i have iron deficiency but im sure those symptoms arent comming from there.
D2 halflife in fat tissue is measured in days where as D3 halflife is measured in months, it's such a big difference that D2 is basically useless over time.
Just found out I’m very deficient in vitamin d and was prescribed a weekly medicine 👌🏻 hopefully it works but she said I’ll always have some issues but it should help n hopefully no nasty side effects 😖
Great science, but poor guideline doses. The appropriate levels can be determined by breast feeding women. If a woman's breast milk is deficient in vit d for the infant, then she doesn't have optimal levels, as she is using it up herself, not passing along. The literature shows to reach these levels it takes over 5000 IU (6400IU if memory serves). This along with ancestral cultures, and their levels, points towards necessary sun exposure, supplementation of 5000IU+, or a combination, to reach similar levels. The nutrition guidelines are simply deficient.
Hi Sanguine! Thanks! Yes, I agree - guidelines are probably in need of some updating! One thing to mention is that although I mention these maintenance and repletion doses for vitamin D supplements, that does not include the addition of both dietary and endogenously synthesized vitamin D as well, so the actual "intake" would be higher than quoted here.
Hi, thankyou so much for this informative video! I've done my best to follow what you've said (and I intend to watch it again) but I just need to ask a question 🙈 I had my blood test results for my chronic fatigue (I have a few other of the less serious symptoms you listed, too) and sure enough, my doctor said I have a vitamin D deficiency. He told me to buy myself some vitamin D supplements, suggesting I get 800IU/day. He said I was deficient but not severely deficient. All I can find online (amazon) is 1000IU/day and I've gone for the chewy vitamin D3 gummies of this dosage (1000IU). I know you're not my doctor, but does this sound okay? Will taking one of these per day likely set it straight? I just don't want to under or overdo it and make myself more ill. I appreciate if you can't answer this question, you just 'don't know if you don't ask' 🥲🤣 Thankyou again for this brilliant video 🙂
I know this is an older post but hoping someone out there will see this. Do you have to get Vitamin D supplements prescribed from a doctor or do they have any over-the-counter ones that will work ? Unfortunately I do not have insurance. Thanks in advance
