Long Term Effects of Vitamin D Deficiency...

by Donna


I have been suffering for a few years with multiple symptoms but was just recently diagnosed with vit D deficiency. My symptoms range from tingling pain in feet legs arms and hands, abdominal pain, diarrhea ,nausea,and my newest symptom - the shakes.

I am 38 and sometimes I feel 80! I am so tired I can barely make it through the day . But yet I do not sleep soundly.

My doctor has just started me on 50,000 units a week of vitamin d for the next 8 weeks. Also they are sending me for a bone scan to see if I have any bone damage. I guess my comment or question is do peole suffer with the symptoms after they are diagnosed and are treated? And can I reserve any damage done?

Yipes. That's a Tough Question...
by: Kerri Knox, RN- The Immune Queen!

Hi Donna,

That is a REALLY REALLY tough question that I don't know if I or anyone else could really answer with certainty. Since the Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency may not occur for years, decades or not at all- few studies are able to be done looking at this particular subject.

But since you can't go back in time and do it all over again, all that you can do now is to get proper Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment and getting and keeping your Vitamin D Levels into the researcher recommended levels and not the ones on your lab sheet.

A couple of other things though Donna. You said that you are taking 50,000 IU's per week, most often that is Prescription Vitamin D and is not the best choice of Vitamin D formulations to take.

Another thing too, is that it is not likely that Vitamin D Deficiency is your only problem. Now is a really good time to take a look at what lifestyle and dietary habits you have been doing over the years that might be contributing to your health problems.

Most often people who are low in vitamin d don't have the best dietary habits and don't get outside and get exercise on a regular basis. So, if this sounds like you, it might be a really good time to realize that if you are deficient in Vitamin D, that you also might be deficient in a lot of other nutrients too- and that these can generally be remedied by taking a High Quality Food Source Multivitamin and changing your eating habits to match with the way we are intended to be eating.

I highly recommend that you take a look at The Healthy Urban Kitchen. They can teach you about how humans are MEANT to eat and help you to make the transition from a 'Standard American Diet' to real, whole natural food.

Donna, I really hope that you take this opportunity to realize the role that diet and lifestyle can play in your health.

What are the problems/complications with prescription Vitamin D? My wife is about to get a similar dose for similar problems as Donna.
