by KATHY

I HAVE A LEVEL OF 8 ng/ml.FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS I HAVE CHILLS.I AM FROZEN. SHIVERING.COULD THIS BE A SYMPTOM?

Answer:

Hi Kathy,

Well, I know that you just recently found out that you have Vitamin D Deficiency and you just recently started getting cold all the time. But you have to remember that it's likely that you have had this vitamin d deficiency for YEARS, maybe even DECADES!!!

So, it's EXTREMELY unlikely that your feeling cold for the past few DAYS has anything at all to with having had vitamin d deficiency for many YEARS.

maybe a symptom with thyroid problem
by: Anonymous

Being cold all the time is one of the symptoms for thyroid problem. A friend of mine was cold all the time and she has hypothyroidism.
Being Cold and Vitamin D deficiency
by: Anonymous

It's fair that being cold recently wouldn't be related to vitamin D, since it's been long term. But is it possibly a symptom for someone who has always been cold? I always assumed it was because I'm a smaller person, but there are plenty of other smaller people who aren't so cold all the time.

Could that be a cause or factor? I was only diagnosed today, so I haven't started treatment yet.

I'm just curious what I can expect to improve eventually.

Thank you.
So many factors...

I just really can't say. There are so many reasons why you could feel cold all of the time and there is just simply no data from any research study or any of the other reputable websites that have talked about being cold as a vitamin d deficiency symptom.

Really, in my opinion, people who are vitamin d deficient just tend to not be as physically active as those who are vitamin d sufficient- because most active people are outside in the sun more frequently.

And physical activity, moving and using your muscles and having a higher muscle mass tends to keep you warmer.

So, having vitamin d deficiency is often a 'Symptom' of not getting enough activity- not in ALL people with vitamin d deficiency certainly- but as a general rule. So, that would be my take on why someone with vitamin d deficiency would be more likely to be cold.

Oh, and make sure that you read my Vitamin D Therapy page so that you bring up your levels the 'right' way to the right numbers and that you are NOT using Prescription Vitamin D

Do not tell people being Vit D def. means they are not active.
by: Kim

I currently own two horses. I take care of them daily. I beg you to try to lift a draft horse's leg that decides he does not want to budge.

Unfortunately, in 2005 I was dianosised with skin cancer. Therefore, I don't lay out in the sun. This type of activity does not interest me anyway. However, I excercise until I can't. I just cannot do it in the sun. I don't want to burn!

I also won the Adult Bronze Nationals in Ice Skating with my husband in the 1990s.

I was tested at having a level of 8 for Vit D, recently. I do believe doctors are finding a genetic link, as well.

I had bone pain, cramps, contantly sick, numbness, and tingling in my fingers and toes, while I was in top shape and skating every day.

Ahem, I sleep with a heating pad because I just cannot get warm.

Because of opinions like yours, I went misdiagnosed until recently. In fact, people thought I was making it up at one point.

It finally occured to one doctor, the complaints started every fall, and this was the first year it started happening in the summer.

In my opinion, you need to get a different opinion!

BTW, having horses means you are outside. I don't know many that are inside a house.

Having a level of 8 for vitiamin D sucks! It hurts and it does not mean you are overweight and don't excercise.

I weight a buck twenty to thirty at the most, and I am 5'6". I think that means I am not overweight.

I have been on prescription Vit D now for two weeks, and I am starting to feel better.

It was really nice to know I am not insane, as well.

Please keep comments like this to yourself.

Someone out there will be looking up these symptoms and won't get tested because they exercise and go outside.

In my opinion, if your Vit D drops below a certain point, you will start feeling cold all the time, especially, in your hands and feet.

I hope I help someone else out there. If you feel tired all the time, weak, cramps, twitches, bone pain, tingling, etc. You should be tested for Vit D. Because it could also be MS!

Those of us who are really pale and cannot go out in the sun, we don't want to hear this type of non-sense.

Please change your opinion, or just leave it completely out.

That attitude will make people think they cannot possibly have this problem. FIVE YEARS MISDIAGNOSED!

It all started when I started using sunscreen.

You cannot blame everything on exercise and weight. Althletes die of strange causes too.

If you have any of the symptoms I described, you should get tested for Vit D def. I am willing to bet you been told you have FM, which is the diagnosis when they don't know what the hell you have. Most doctors don't even know about the Vit D test.
Please read the rest of my website Kim...

Hi Kim,

Hmmm. I'm not why you are so angry at me. I think that maybe you didn't read any of the rest of my website. If you were to read the rest of my website you would see that I am probably the biggest proponent of Vitamin D Testing and encourage it for almost all problems.

This woman was ALREADY diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency and wanted to know if they are related and if the vitamin d will make her symptoms of being cold go away. I did NOT say that they were not. What I DID say is that there are no studies showing that this is a symptom and that I don't know if her feelings of being cold all of the time will go away when she begins to take vitamin d.

That is a fact.

It is ALSO a fact that people who don't get much exercise don't (in general) get as much sun as people who DO get exercise! I did NOT say that she was fat and out of shape (she said she's not fat by the way).

But the fact is that the vast majority of people out there don't get enough exercise. And it's also a fact that athletes tend to get more sun and thus vitamin d than people who don't exercise. If you read the response again, I also said that that is NOT true of everyone, but it's a generalization that holds true in MANY instances.

And YES, athletes DO die of strange things, such as Prolonged QT Interval- which is one of the Signs of Magnesium Deficiency that I ALSO am trying to get more awareness of.


You are 'preaching to the choir' so to speak to be telling me that people have been misdiagnosed for many years and that people should get tested for vitamin d deficiency.

Kim, awareness for vitamin d deficiency is one of the MAIN REASONS that I have been doing this website!! I've spent the past 2 years putting 12 hours days six and seven days a week to raise awareness of vitamin d deficiency.

If you read the rest of my website, you will possibly have a different opinion of my beliefs about vitamin d.

Should I have lied to this woman and told her that there is tons of research that vitamin d deficiency leads to feelings of being cold? I told her that there is no research on it and that is the truth.

Did I tell her that she's making it up and that she's not vitamin d deficient? No. Of course I didn't. She's already been diagnosed and wanted to know the relationship. However as far as I know there is no relationship and I do NOT know if her sensation of being cold all of the time will improve when she takes vitamin d.
