I used to get cramps in my ankles so sevre that I had to get up and walk them out. I was told by a co-worker that her mother takes this for cramps. I have been taking this for over 2 years and I don't get the cramps anymore. I use dosage 1000 IU per day. Try it.

I lost 50-75% of my back pain just a day after taking 50,000 IU of Vitamin D. As I just started this "treatment" I will wait to see wht happens say within a month.

A great side effect has been to alleviate Low back pain due to spinal stenosis. Eliminated 80+% pain in low back, butt, upper back thighs and left calf. Diabetes doc says she has had similar reports from other patients.

I'm finding that the Vit D has increased my appetite. Has anyone else complained of this side effect?
