I had to ask my Dr to check my Vit D level on the advice of a homeopathic chiropractor - which he had several recommendations of various vit/mineral levels to be checked. It was 19 (deficient). I typically take 2,000 - 6,000 IU's daily and I have gradually felt better. This is not an overnight process. Often Dr's don't typically look at vit/mineral levels b/c they are taught to diagnose and prescribe prescription medications. I have had bone pains and fatigue when initially taking vits/minerals but it went away after a month. I look at it like this - after exercising, the typical feeling is soreness. Upon consumption of anything, our bodies will experience some sort of physical/emotional/biological feeling because the body is trying to "purify" itself. Symptoms and side effects are not the same thing. Check with your Dr about what you're feeling and determine whether it is due to (in this case) Vitamin D, or if the Vitamin D is rebuilding your body and the pain is just part of the process. I currently take the following w/my Vit D: Calcium 500mg, Super B Complex w/Vit C, Zinc 50mg (but plan to reduce dose to 30 or below), and Lactobacillus 25 million. Read More Read Less

I exercise on a daily basis and have a very good idea of what my stamina should be. I noticed that I was getting tired more easily and that I have what I called mental fogginess, but mainly unusual fatigue for me. I went to one doctor and he ran the usual tests and found nothing wrong. I went to a second doctor and he ran other tests and found that my Vit D was 17 with normal 30 to 100. He put me on 50,000 IU of Vit D /week and in three weeks I notice that the exercise fatigue was gone as well as the mental fogginess. When my Vit D was check again it was 62. I started taking 4000 IU Vit D and felt great. When my Vit D was checked again it was 80. My doctor asked that I reduce my Vit D to 2000 IU / day which I did. Three weeks later I noticed my fatigue and mental fogginess coming back. I am back on 4000 IU of Vit D / day and last time it was check my level was 60. I read somewhere that you should try to keep you Vit D level above 50.Read More Read Less

I was losing lots of my hair and my nails were also strong stared to crack and break.I also noticed my skin was so dry and flaky.My nails are stronger and my hair is so much better hardly any hair loss. Will always take vitiam D.

I used to get terrible menstrual-like cramps when I exercised, but after 2 days of Vitamin D at 2000 IU, they disappeared completely. Vitamin D also helped with my Seasonal depression, and I didn't get sick at all last winter.

My blood work showed very low Vit D. I started taking two (2) 5,000 units a day. It was amazing the difference it made in energy and overall well being. Summer I drop to one per day and am able to maintain my levels. I drink a ton of milk, so my calcium level is normal so I don't take a combination of the two. I have never had any side effects and would tolerate them if I did for the difference in my overall health, skin texture, etc. I also now take CoQ-10 on the advise of my cardiologist and a multipurpose vitamin which has no iron in it as my iron level is so high.

Question:I was taking 1,000 IU daily and great, but then began taking 5,000 IU daily,and stopped taking iron, multi, and niacin,but am still taking calcium, and am noticing very-short term memory loss. I am 5'6" female, 150 lbs; recently read article that stated 5,000 IU would be for someone who is overweight. Am I taking too much, and would this cause my short-term memory loss? EX: At daily-coffee klatch, (mostly the same group), varies on Sat. (this was) with more people there,someone asked if Monica had been in and I said she left a little while ago, BUT she actually had not even been there. She had been there the day before.

I am 71 years old. Since I was in my 20's I got sinus infections 3-4 times a year. About 4 years ago, I found Vit D3. I take 5,000 a day and have not had one illness since. My bone density test showed my bones are better than 10 years ago. Also, my moods are better,especially the seasonal moods. Will not be without it..EVER!

My doctor checked my levels because I was always fatigued, depressed and in pain in my joints. My level was 19 and the normal is 30-100. I started taking 50,000 IU of Vitamin D. I immediately felt less pain, a boost in energy and my cholesterol went down, and my seasonal blues went away. My Thyroid was out of whack also. I take it with food and Magnesium and drink lots of water. If you have a sensitive stomach take it before bed. I lost weight and I feel amazing. I will never stop taking that little green pill. I just had my levels retested and we will see what happensRead More Read Less

Should have read these. My D was less than 10. I have Osteoporosis. I took the full 90 day course of once a week 50,000 units. The first morning after, I could not walk or get out of bed unassisted. My neck and shoulders, legs, knees, feet, were excruciating and it took several hours to move. Three days later, back to "normal" each day lessening and then took again. Sleeping my legs hurt and sometimes I could not get comfortable. Every week, same thing though about 10% better each week. I called doctor and he said this is not reported as a side effect. I went through whole course, 90 days. Each time the wham effect the next morning, 3 days later less. Not as bad as first time. I was taking 2000 units D3 every day, but have stopped that. That was 18 months ago. I have been left with painful feet, ankles, calves, knees every morning so much so I have to recuperate for a couple of hours to move. I am not taking D. I absolutely know the overdose caused this and I should have listened to myself and people around me to stop taking it. Hope it reverses itself completely someday. If I have to get up early I set my alarm at 4 and down 2 Bufferins and an Aleve so I can get up. Someday they will figure this out. Read More Read Less

The Vitamin D-3 boosted my immune system to help fight my small cell lung cancer which is normally a death diagnosis. Cancer free now for 8 years.

I'm a survivor of colon cancer. and I Have non-hodgin lymphoma. I was readin that Vitamin D with my condition would make it worse. Just starting takin Vitamin D 5000 iu cap by Tev. It this is true? A new doctor put me on this cause I'm low Vitamin D and I have ostearthritis and have to have double knee replacements. And my hips and my femur and leg bones start to bother me. I'm only 65 years young. Have not had any side effects

Doctor genius diagnose me with Vit D deficiency. Test came back a 10. Gave a RX for 50,000 IU of D3 at once per week for 3 months. Like the last poster, I decided to buy an OTC counter Vit D supplement 2000 IU to try out. First tablet I take, I had a mild dull headache, upset stomach, felt loopy, with chest tightness, and anxiety. Good thing I did not get the 50,000 IU mega dose that Dr Genius prescribed. Most docs I've experienced are fricking morons and just there for the paycheck. Just because they are doctors (MD) does not make them know better in treating you or me. Just look at the CDC and the handling of the US Ebola case. Smh :(Read More Read Less
