Vitamin D and Balance Problems

Hi Annette,

Yes, Vitamin D Deficiency and Balance problems Are linked. There has been fairly conclusive evidence to show that the elderly fall more when they are Vitamin D Deficient!!

More About Vitamin D

Vitamin D and Cancer

Vitamin D and The Flu

Swine Flu Vaccine? This may be better!

The first study to show this was not widely believed, but several studies since then show that a general decline in the elderly can be- at least in part- attributed to Vitamin D Deficiency.

While I've not read anything about Brain Fog and Vitamin D Deficiency, there ARE links to Dementia and Vitamin D as well as the general weakness that could also look like Mental Changes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency as well.

But I'm concerned that your doctor is only treating your for Vitamin D Deficiency for 4 weeks on 50,000 IU's per week. That is not very long and will likely not get you to 40 ng/ml as he is trying to do- unless you get a significant amount of sunlight during that period as well.

And you don't say what dose he is putting you on after your 4 week Treatment for Vitamin D Deficiency, but make sure that it is aggressive enough to get your levels up as well. A Normal maintenance dose is around 3800 to 5000 IU's per day.

And please be sure to get a Vitamin D Level Test in 3 to 4 months to make sure that your replacement regimen is working.
