Avatar m tn Are there any side effect of taking vitamins(e.g. vitamin D+calcium) for long time as 3 months or more. Does "Omeprazole 20mg" cause any harmful effect in long term use ?
Avatar f tn So Ive been on Viread for 3 years now. Im still eagpositive(forgot the actual term). The virus is still active. But whats bothering me alot lately is my bones. I feel my bones thinning. I lost alot of body mass over the last year. Im also experiencing my bones cracking in places Ive never heard it crack in before and cracking on a constant every other minute basis. So I went and tested Vitamin D. Supposedly it was just under low. So now I'm taking Vitamin D 50,000 weekly.
Avatar f tn I feel like everything inside is really warm like I am taking a fat burner. I have read some of the side effects but it also states that it takes a few weeks for cardiac function to adjust to this med. I am still perplexed at how spontaneous the diagnosis happened without other testing to rule out anything else. I am probable asking the same question that has been asked more than it can be counted but who has experienced and did this pass and get better?
Avatar f tn Hi all, I had an injection in summer 2013 and before that I was on the pill for about a week, and took some emergency contraception before all that. On average I was on the pill for just a week and half and had injection that last 3 months. Due to side effects I didn't return for second dose and I didn't take pills again. Can anyone tell me the long term side effects because my body has not been the same again.
Avatar m tn Has anyone had any luck with using vitamin d for depression and anxiety? I've been on medication for a while now and was just wondering if their was anything that would help with depression that wouldn't have such bothersome side effects.
550622 tn?1247656720 I understand that you are taking the 50,000 IU of Vitamin D. Can you tell me if you have had any side effects, etc. Thanks so much!
Avatar f tn My doc says I need more vit d so she put me on 2000mg a day. Are there any weird side-effects I need to watch for? I was on peppermint tablets last year and the doctor said nothing should have happened, but it gave me really bad stomach cramps and I had to stop taking them, so I'm just being causious. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Had anyone experienced any side effects from taking such a high dose of a vitamin? Especially constipation (on top of reg.
Avatar n tn My advice is to check your vitamin D levels and make an appointment to see the dentist. Tx is hard on bones and teeth. Vitamin D can help both. Brush your teeth after eating anything acidic including drinking coffee as exposed rootes are more prone to cavities. BTW: Not all docs are the same. My heptalogist is suggesting people wait to do tx until the new meds are available if their livers are in good condition.
Avatar f tn It's not usually due to something as serious as cancer.....I live in Oregon and was told that it's due to the latitude and longitude of where I live as well as the lack of sunshine here........and a poor diet. The supplement pills had no noticable side effects and corrected my level in 12 weeks. I've had to repeat the treatment about once a year though. I think one thing that can be problematic is if you need surgery......
Avatar f tn I also take vitamin b12 and folic acid to get my levels up and also help to reduce any side effects if the vitamin d. Too much vit d can cause calcium deposits (u need to have a lot for that to happen) but the extra folic acid and vit b12 help.
Avatar m tn The only concerns was my LDL, which was a little elevated but my Vitamin D level was very Low. The doctor told me to just get some Vitamin D supplements (2000 UI). As for the symptoms, My stool is still yellow, but it goes back and forth, occasionally to a normal color... I'm still eating plain pro biotic yogurt, before any meals in the morning. As for the throat swelling, it seemed to have dramatically reduced when I stopped using the desoximetasone 0.25 cream on (tuesday).
Avatar f tn org/posts/Thyroid-Disorders/anyone-have-allergic-reaction-to-Vitamin-D/show/1050672 where lots of people have stories about bad reactions to taking over-the-counter Vitamin D supplements. It mostly seems like problems with the source/ingredient side-effects for instance if the Vitamin D is made from Lanolin.
1183618 tn?1277365106 Sit at a window with the sun shining in for about 1/2 hour (few times a week) and that will help you get enough Vitamin D. Suggest you stop taking the vitamin D supplements, restrict your intake of calcium, and see your MD.
Avatar f tn In addition there are other variables that are important for you. Vitamin D is important for its effect on the body's response to thyroid hormone. D should be at least 50 ng/ml, B12 is important in preventing fatigue and should be in the upper part of its range. Ferritin is very important and should be at least 100. If you have been tested for Free T4, Free T3, Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin, please post results and the ranges shown on the lab report.

Avatar f tn I have the report in front of me...not sure what to look for! TSH 1.890 (0.40-4.000 mIU/ml is this it? what else do I need to look for.
Avatar f tn Hi I just started taking the vitamin D about 3 weeks ago. Went to doctor complaining of verrry bad muscle aches in arms and legs. My joints also ached but I have had that for about 8 years. He did the test and I am low. I am taking it and the only thing I notice is if I take a full pill my stomach hurts a little. So now I break it in half and talk half in the morning and half at night with food. It got so bad with the muscle twitches I went to the rhemy and thats when the diagnosed Fibro.
Avatar f tn You have symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Excerpt from the article: Know the Importance of Taking Enough Magnesium with Your Vitamin D... "Most importantly, vitamin D requires and 'uses up' magnesium to convert from supplements or sun into its active form in the blood. As such, it is a big mistake to simply take large doses of Vitamin D without taking the need for magnesium into consideration.
550622 tn?1247656720 I've taken vitamin D3 and tried to get as much sun as possible (for only about 3 months) and my level was brought up a lot. Be mindful though, there're various form of D...and deficiency, make sure you don't over supplement yourself with D which can be harmful as well. Good luck.
1165078 tn?1338655745 keppra lowered my vitamin d levels and i also got the joint pain. Have your doc check your vitamin d levels. A lot of epilepsy drugs cause this. You might also notice some short term memory probs if your d is low enuff. I hope this is the problem because it is easy to fix.
17174583 tn?1456152946 Did you ever test for hepatitis C and D (you probably don't have them, but just take those out of equation because of your still raised ALT)
1134609 tn?1269272200 I suffered terribly from depression, suicidal idealization, and self harm. The effects of Vitamin D were immediate...like a dark cloud was lifting and I could suddenly breathe. My moods have been absolutely stable. I have never known life to be so good. I am not a doctor; this is just what works for me. I also take alot of good omega 3, which also has made a huge difference. Between, vitamin D, omega 3, and the Paleo Diet, I am able to handle bipolor disorder without medication.
Avatar f tn Yet this is exactly what is happening in most cases and it is causing a lot of people to have problems that they believe are due to side effects of Vitamin D- or even worse they believe they are experiencing an overdose. Such a huge number of people have subtle magnesium deficiency that some researchers and doctors are calling magnesium deficiency an epidemic, and anyone with even a mild or 'subclinical' magnesium deficiency will have this deficiency amplified when Vitamin D is taken.
535882 tn?1396576685 on a recent blood test . my vitamin d came back 26 /borderline deficient. waht should it be. ive heard 50. is supplements. 2000 a day. plus sunlight 10 minutes a day enough to boost this. can vitamin d deficency cause fatigue.? how long does it take to build back up in you. next blood work in a month. thanks.
Avatar f tn Start at 1000. Make sure you have no side effects like constipation. You can always up it to 2000. But 1000 should be okay. May take a few weeks-months, but that's not an unheard of dose.
