Neurologic Problems CAN Be Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency
I went to see my doctor about a few months ago to get a check up. While I was there I told him I been having trouble studying, sometimes it was hard to focus and other times i had difficulty formulating words that I normally use, temporarily forgotten.
(e.g. drawing blanks when thinking)
He recommended that I should get my blood tested because he suspected I had vitamin D deficiency, so I did.
The result showed:
Vit D2(25_Hydroxy): <1
Vit D3(25_Hydroxy): 7.5
Vit D (25_Hydroxy)total calcium : 7.5
Normal range is about 20.1 ng/ml - 50.0 ng/ml
Deficiency range: 8.0 ng/ml - 20.0 ng/ml
Severe Deficiency: < 7.0 ng/ml
Thus I was diagnosed with severe vitamin D deficiency. He prescribed me 50,000 UNT (1 pill a week for the next 3 months) He told me this should help enhance health.
Therefore my question is does having Vitamin D Deficiency associate with any neurological disorder?
