Vitamin D 50,000 units = 1.25 mg The side effects listed are associated with overdosage of Vitamin D. Taking 50,000 units once a week is a standard dose for Vitamin D deficiency. If your level is 4 ng/ml, that is deficient and the 50,000 unit is a quick way to stabilize your levels. However you can take the 2,000 unit over the counter capsules daily.

I have been doing some reading of the posts in here and came across the Vitamin D issue. My doctor also told me I was deficient too, but he never said anything about taking a supplement. Since reading the posts I think that is strange. On my other posts the replies were great, so i did some checking and my neuro is supposed to be an MS specialist but I can find no evidence of that. He said he studied at the John Trotter ms institute in St.

I have Hashimoto's and had severe muscle spasms and aches, I was advised by this forum to take Vitamin D and Magnesium, I started taking 800 units of "D" and 400 mgs of Magnesium, I noticed a marked improvement in 7 Days, I don't how 1.25 mg compares in strength to "Units Per Day" They just came out with an advisory for Vitamin D that states the Per day units should be increased to at least 1,000 units per day.

Hey everyone, so the last time I went to the Dr she told me my vitamin d levels were inordinarily low - like 19.2 or something. Well she prescribed me 50,000 units of vitamin d once a week.

Conventional Units (United States customary units) and SI Units (or Système Internationale - most scientists and most countries use SI units). Vitamin D conventional units is ng/mL and SI units is nmol/L. From my observation, the majority of people on Medhelp are from the US so vitamin D results are usually mentioned as ng/mL. The Vitamin D Council article: "I tested my vitamin D level. What do my results mean?

My doctor recommended Nordic Naturals prenatal dha tabs. They have 400 units in each tab of vitamin d. I take it twice a day along with my prenatals that also have 1000 units. Plus the dha is promotes healthy brain, eyes, & bones for baby as well as support a healthy mood for momma.

In November 2009, my doctor told me I had Vitamin D Defiency. My level was a 6 out of 32. A few months ago, I was tested again and I'm still waiting for the results. Since I was tested the second time I quit taking my medicine (1000 units 3 times a week). I have really bad headaches, and extremely painful pre-menstrual, menstrual, and post-menstrual cramps. Also, I have mood swings when least expected.

My vitamin D was depleted. I was on 50,000 units a week for 3 months and I am now on 4000 units a day for the next couple of months and have to get re checked. I do know that vitamin d deficiency is common in people with MS. My sister switched neuros after I told her because she said her neuro hadn't checked for anything including yearly/bi-yearly MRI's. She asked her new neuro about it and her neuro ordered blood tests and she is also vitamin d deficient.

I have hasimotos can you please tell me what the optimun levels for our vitamin D levels should be. The range is 30-100 and mine is 38 I suffer from hypo symptooms and cant seem to raise my T3 levels as they continue to remain at the very low range at 2.6 with 2.5 being the low end. I have alot of joint pain but if I raise my med levels I get breathlessness, which I cant tolerate, so any suggestions. My vitamin B levels were all good. Thank you for any advice!

High doses of vitamin D can cause of magnesium deficiency as the body uses magnesium to convert vitamin D to active vitamin D. If you are eating a diet high in magnesium you won't have issues. If you aren't...well hello magnesium deficiency symptoms. :) This can be anything from muscle twitches to constipation...the list of magnesium deficiency symptoms is ridiculously long.

Nothing has help. She did send me for bloodwork and it came back that I had a Vitamin D level of 5. She prescribed 50000 units 2x a week and referred my to a hematologist because my platelets were also low (101,000). I am still in alot of pain. My doctor is on vacation and the other doctor in her practice does not believe that Vitamin D Deficiencies cause pain (yes, that is exactly what I was told).

I would ask both of you, how would my elevated parathyroid hormone levels affect or be effected by my 50,000 units of D dosages twice weekly? What does elevated PTH mean to high-dose vitamin D supplementation in terms of needing or not needing to supplement with calcium or another mineral?

Vitamin D deficiency symptoms can mimic fibromyalgia and cause bone pain actually. I would request all lab results so you can see what is going going on. Optimal vitamin D level is 100 - 150 nmol/L (40 - 60 ng/ml).
