Vitamin d range
Common Questions and Answers about Vitamin d range
vitamin
I agree with armywife92 about the Vitamin D. Reading between the lines, i thought about Low Vitamin D often being associated with being hypothyroid, and since you were tested for TSH and FT4, I wondered if perhaps you had symptoms that resulted in these tests, especially for thyroid.
I imagine that with your TSH being within the old reference range listed, and your Free T4 being in range, that the doctor decided you were "normal" as far as thyroid issues.
I have all the textbook symptoms of hypothyroid, but when tested, my levels were not low. However,I am severely vitamin D deficient. A complete metabolic panel was done along with checking they thyroid and checking for anemia. I am sceptical that a vitamin D deficiency can cause the hair loss, weight gain, extreme fatigue and mood swings I am having. Can it?
OK, now I'm really confused. I've been taking Calcium with 800 ius vitamin D daily. I decided to up my intake of D in preparation for upcoming treatment. So I started adding another 1000 iu's. Of course, lazy me, I did this without checking my levels but I figured if everyone is so low I must be as well. Today I hear that we are taking too much vitamin D and it is not healthy. They also are thinking of lowering the bottom of the normal range from 30 to 20. What is everyone doing?
4 months back I was diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency with a level of 4ng/ml; extremely low. I had range of symptoms e.g extreme tiredness, severe anxiety, insomnia, sleep paralysis, explosive head syndrome, tingling and numbness etc. My first thought was I might have MS. And whichever disease I would look on internet I had majority of associated symptoms. This was due to severe anxiety caused by low vitamin d.
Hi Dr. Smita,
Thank you for your response!
Actually, I had all my blood test checked (calcium, magnesium, TSH,...etc) Everything came out normal except vitamin d is low. Could it be vitamin d deficiency and calcium still can be normal? I don't understand. My doctor prescribed me 50,000 IU vit. d once a week x 12 weeks and I'm taking Gapapentin 300mg at night from my neurologist for sleep. What he told me my twitching is benign and don't worry about it!
From my research, and the ailments, it appears my problem has been a continual low or none Vitamin D all along. Tests come back with no Vitamin D or very little. I ran out in the sun, with no sunscreen and now I garden, so Vitamin D should not be an issue, but it is. When I don't have enough Vitamin D, I get mouth sores (not herpes). I take Vitamin D, for two days they are gone, and then come back, until I take my next round of D once a week.
My level was 23 which was within normal range but was still treated with Vitamin D regiment for 12 weeks. Rheumatologist wanted it around 35-38. As far as your achiness throughout the body - ask your doctor to check for adrenal insufficiency. I thought my body pain was low Vit D but it continued after treatment. Bones, muscles, joints, ligaments all hurt. I don't have a thyroid but my levels were within normal range. Nothing I took got rid of this type of pain.
m making this assumption is because on a research protocol that I was recently on, many of the patients had a low vitamin D and a higher (but usually within normal range) vitamin D 1,25 hydroxy. Dr. Trevor Marshall has done research on this. If you are interested, you can google, "vitamin D dysregulation". It has to do with the way vitamin D is converted and intracellular bacteria.

My vitamin D was previously low at 19 with elevated PTH 73. Endo had me take Vit D and both levels improved: PTH decreased to 70 with Vit D 45.
Since then Endo has been testing just Vit D about every 6 wks: had me reduce Vit D to 1K IU, levels dropped to 32, then increase to 2K IU levels incr. to 45. Now he's telling me to reduce back to 1K IU and retest in 6 wks.
What is the intent of this Vit.
Dec /11/2013 calcium 9.9 range (8.6-10.3) calcium-ionized 1.33 range (1.10-1.35). VITAMIN D 25-OH TOTAL 22 range (20-100) . note says levels between 20 ng/ml and 30 ng/ml suggest insufficiency. She is aware of that but as I said I can take 200 mg daily because it affects the calcium level. I know at one time the calcium was at 10. I am wondering if beside having the problem with the thyroid dose if this could be causing some of my problems.
