I have hypothyroidism and vitamin D deficiency. If thyroid medicine is not set correctly body uses vitamin D as a replacement.

My daughter was diagnosed by her allergist as being severely deficient in vitamin D. He prescribed vitamin D as well as a host of other drugs. I have been researching vitamin D and have concluded that vitamin D is not a vitamin at all, rather a synthetic man-made drug that can have horrible side effects.

I have been researching vitamin D and have concluded that vitamin D is not a vitamin at all, rather a synthetic man-made drug that can have horrible side effects. I am considering purchasing Nordic Natural Ultimate Omega based on information I found on-line. Of course I am going to have her sit in the sun too! I welcome any and all suggestions regarding my daughter's health, as she has really been suffering from the vitamin D deficiency (hives,face swelling, etc)!

I put my symptoms in Google search engine. It said V-D deficient. I went to another doctor and asked him to check my V-D level. It was 19. He put on 50,000 D-2. My bones stopped aching for 4 days. I supplemented with regular OTC V-D until the next dosage and the aching stopped. After a over a years treatment my V-D level is 68. Doctor said that was good for an African American but the minimum was 130. I currently take 10,000 IU daily. I am going to increase to 15,000 IU and have my levels checked every 3 months to check my progress.

I live in sunny SoCal so the sun or my body's processing of vit D wasn't doing such a good job. For approximately 2 years I had been experiencing general body aches and pains. It got to the point where I could barely walk at night due to excrutiating pain in both feet upon getting out of bed to use the bathroom. My doctor took blood tests (but not for vit D), sent me to a rheumatologist. Nothing ... Show Full Comment

I live in sunny SoCal so the sun or my body's processing of vit D wasn't doing such a good job. For approximately 2 years I had been experiencing general body aches and pains. It got to the point where I could barely walk at night due to excrutiating pain in both feet upon getting out of bed to use the bathroom. My doctor took blood tests (but not for vit D), sent me to a rheumatologist. Nothing. Finally, I did my own internet research and requested a vit D blood test. Well what do you...I was very deficient in vit D. Also, around the time of this discovery, I started having unusual pains (very painful) in my shoulder area. X-rays showed calcium deposits in the tissues. Without the vit D to help absorb the calcium, my body didn't know what to do with the calcium. Needless to say I suffered unnecessarily for approx 2 years. I don't understand why neither my doctor nor the rheumatologist didn't suspect that I may have been deficient in vit. D. I started taking 2000-4000 units of vit D3 daily, and within one week, the pain in my feet all but disappeared. I am a skeptic so I know that it was not any kind of placebo effect but that the vit D was doing its job.

Vitamin D deficiency, both my husband & I. I have lots of health issues that this could help with. Some are talking about taking 5000 wanted to see if there are side effects at high dosages.
