heart
Have any of you heard a creaking noise in your body, felt movement or had movement/and/or strange feelings in your heart before going on the vitamin d therapy? I was diagnosed with low vitamin d (it was 18) and was told to take the 50000 iu 1per wk for 6 wks but being that i am scared of meds I opted for the 1000 iu per day dosage without a prescription. I think now I should have listened to the doc and took the larger dosage.

Till now my vitamin D dosing has been 50 mcg per day. My vitamin D level is 88 nmol/L, and S-D-1.25 is 190 ( upper normal limit is 165). Ionized Ca is normal. An Endo said that I could decrease the vit. D supplementation to 25 mcg.
I have read that S-D-1.25 can be elevated in primary hyperparathyroidism, hypercalciuria, sarkoidosis and certain lymphoma diseases.
I am taking magnesium 300-400mg. I still sometimes have leg cramps.
When you go to the doctor know what you want and why you want it. I had to beg for the Vitamin D test. (Vitamin D 25OH) My doctor was doubtful, but come to find out I was extremely deficient. (11ng/ml) At the time he had never seen anybody so low. Because of me he now tests more regularly and has found a host of people in the same boat, some even lower than myself.
I found Magnesium helped with the aches and pains and with the Vitimin D , I took a combined Calcium/Vitamin D tablet. As they say that Vitamin D helps the Calcium to absorb.
This was all ok'd by my Doctor as I have the vitamin deficiencies checked prior to taking anything.
I was also told not to take any vitamins until at least 4 hours after the thyroxin.
Take magnesium with your vitamin D supplement. The vitamin D council recommend a year round vitamin D serum level of between 50 - 80ng/mL or 125 - 200nmol/L.

I went to the doctor and my blood test came to show that I had a Vitamin D level of 7.7. I just started on 50,000 units of Vitamin D twice/week for the next 8 weeks. Does anyone else have a loss of appetite that comes with the deficiency? From what I have read many have had symptoms for a very long time and mine is only started a week ago.
s that is right for you. Vit D is not water soluble vitamin and it can build up to toxic levels. So know or learn your bodies needs.

Try calcium tablets and glutamate powder at night for the hip discomfort. Try magnesium in the morning at 500 IU.
