![#1 Vitamin D Deficiency LIE! [Do You Get Vitamin D from the Sun?]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U_BRc1a3XRA/mqdefault.jpg)
Thanks for the up date I just watch the other video's you made I appreciate them I have been going through the symptoms for about two months I know am going to get where you are at one day thinking positive lol.
Thanks Andrea! Yes you will definitely get better sooner than later! Stay positive! ☀️
Congratulations in taking that step in going back to get your Master's and taking charge of your health. 2019 was that year to get everything in alignment. Good luck!!!!
Thank you! Yes it definitely was. Happy New Year to you! ☀️
Thank you for sharing. I will study body to get a better understanding of when my levels are low. I will also look to find a hematologist in my area to get regular testing of my iron and vitamin d levels. I recently came across your channel because I’ve recently broke my leg. Earlier this year I was told that both my iron and vitamin d levels were extremely low and given prescription supplements for both.
Hi De De! Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you leg is feeling better and that your levels have improved! ☀️
Congrats on your progress , I also have vitamin d deficiency , on my journey to recovery , I have the same symptoms as you joint pain and bones and muscle pain ... thanks for your vids they really help me a lot to my journey of what I can do to recover . Love your vids ❤️new subscriber
HI Haifa Asad! Thanks for commenting and subscribing to my channel! I truly appreciate it! I hope that you begin to feel better soon, I too have begun to feel its effects again over this winter, but nothing as bad as I did before. Thankfully better weather is on the way. Meanwhile, I'm wising you a speedy recovery. And, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Take care! ☀️
Update ? Do you feel better now ?
Mad respect ∞
thank you for your videos! keep doing this work, you are helping a lot of people. in 2019 i had a stressful new job where i had to travel by airplane from chicago to nyc every week. i prob was out of my normal summer routines as far as getting sun. late oct 2019 i started feeling a little off. i thought it was just stress from the job. nov i got a cold that wouldnt go away. went to clinic and got antibiotic. nov/dec brain fog, heavy legs, no motivation. poor sleeping. night sweats. now i was getting scared. finally met with primary care physician, did bloodwork. all fine except vit d at 23. jan 1 i begin with 2000iu a day. started feeling a bit better, then upped it to 4000iu. felt like you: jittery, sick, etc. week 5 of supplementing. going to go down to 1000iu and gonna take a trip someplace warm. these last 3 months have been the most frustrating/trying time of my life. gonna just keep riding this wave. good lord i hope i can get back to my self again.
Stopohno, Hi and thanks for commenting! Yes, Chicago is beautiful, but has rough winters like here in Upstate NY, ugh! Hopefully you are feeling better. I wish I could've gotten relief from the supplement, but I felt like I was on speed and my anxiety was through the roof! Not fun at all, I didn't know what was happening to me, as I'm usually a pretty chill chick. Taking a warm trip somewhere, sounds like a plan. I'm hoping to do the same myself at some point in the near future. Keep working at it and you'll feel better soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy your day, take care ☀️
@@indeedlove Thank you. Quick update. I got ALOT of sun this summer. Have been able to exercise. Been taking vit D. Put on about 15lbs of muscle. Never tired anymore. So thank god that is over. I wish for you INDEED that God blesses you with health, joy and happiness for you and your entire family. For how you have helped people. For being a source of light in a desert of darkness and despair. Your beautiful spirit, your real and human way you connect with people, I wish you all the best. I cant thank you enough for helping me through this part of life.
@@stopohno how much vitamin d were u taking per day ?
@@ramnour478 Hi Ram, I took between 2k to 6k a day. Somedays none while i replenished my magnesium levels. If you are very low in vit D, expect to go through a few weeks of agony, as the vit D does its work and starts drawing calcium from blood into your bones.
@@stopohno yeah, i m taking 5000 ui of D3 every 3 days (this is my first 10 days)with magnesium i feel so bad.how long did it take for you to see any improvement and how long for full recovey ???
Im a 40 year old male and i was recently diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency so dr put me on 50000 iu once a week...after taking it for 2 months and going into the third month..i started noticing palpitations..im going to go get levels checked again and start taking much lower doses because high doses of vitamin d has made me feel weird physically
I experienced the same problem.
@Mb Mb How are u doing now?
Thank you for your videos! Feel less alone knowing there are other people suffering with this, I was wondering if you had any bad side effects from 50000 iu d2? Ever since I started taking it I’ve been having worsening bone pain and more cracking all over my body that wasn’t there before. Even my forearm has gotten swollen is this normal? Did u experience any of this and does it heal? I just feel like I’ve made myself worse
Try checking your magnesium levels. High doses of vitimin d depletes magnesium levels.
Hi Sophie! I felt like trash when I began taking the 50,000iu of vitamin D. I had insomnia, fast heartbeats, felt extremely anxious and more. I began feeling better once I lowered my dosage of vitamin D and began iron supplementation . Like you, my body crackled like a forest fire, lol, but most of that has gone away now.
I’m sorry for your loss!! I know you have been dealing with health issues for a while now. I’ve been watching your vitamin D videos and always come back and rewatch because this VD deficiency can really bring you down. My diagnosis was in late July of this year at 16ng/ml. Since then, I’ve had good days and bad days. Some days I feel like “wow, finally I’m healing.” Other days my thoughts are more like, “I’m pretty sure death is better” lol. I’m on 9-10k per day and although I last tested at 53 I know I need to continue high doses to heal my bones and muscles. I can relate with you with the upper back pains. That’s where my problematic area is. Also, I read your comment to someone else on another VD video where you had that “rice crispies” sounding in your back which is EXACTLY what I have now. Hate this symptom! Doesn’t hurt but the noises can be uncomfortable. Did this ever resolve? I’m glad you’re feeling better now. From the day you started taking the VD until now, how much can you say your symptoms have improved? Sorry for all the questions! I am especially thankful I’ve never had to deal with anemia because I can’t imagine dealing with both deficiencies! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Hello Dreamy Ventures! I love your name! Thank your for watching and commenting! I don't hear that "rice crispy" sound much these days, lol. Overall I've improved a lot! I've noticed that I still struggle during winter, like right now, but I'm pushing through it. The unfortunate part is that I my body doesn't do well with the vitamin D supplements, they make me feel sick, make my heart race, and I get super nervous and jittery when taking anything over 1000iu. So I have to take small doses and spread it out over time. However, I don't get as nervous about it anymore because I know what is going on with my body.Since I've began receiving iron infusions, and doing better with my diet, I've noticed a huge improvement as well. That was the game changer for me. I began drinking enough water, taking my iron supplements, trying hard to eat better, and getting as much sunshine as possible when able. Also, making a sound decision to stress less, and learning how to cope with things better, because stress depletes the body of nutrients. So yeah, no worries on the question asking, ask away. If I can help, I will. Thanks for your support to my channel. Have an awesome day! ☀️
Thank you! Thank you so much for answering me! I’m really glad you’re doing better. It is so unfortunate that you don’t react well to VD. When I first started taking it I got so much worse before noticing some improvements.I am waiting for that day to come for me. My upper back cracks crunches and snaps so much and I feel sore most times. I’m starting to think something else is going on now I don’t think it’s normal for a back to do that.
Did you have any chest pain/pressure.. or irregular breathing? My levels are now at a 36 but I’ve recently starting feeling this here and there.
Hello. I wanted to ask you how is your health now? Has the fast heart rate calmed down, and how approximately long did it take for the fast heartbeat to disappear? Thanks.
Following
Hi Danko! I hope all is well with you! My health is much better now. I don't exactly know how long it took for the palpitations to disappear, but I barely get them anymore.
Methyl B12 and Mthfr can also affect anemia. Sluggish liver can process B12 and Folic Acid, a genetic test can help you
Your body can't convert folic acid to Folanic acid so you can get anemia.
Something to look at
Did you have points where you felt better one week and then symptoms came back the week after
Hi again. Yes I felt things here and there, then one day realized how long it's been since I felt those things. I think it's just the healing process and how it works in ebbs and flows.
My vit D came out at 10.5ng/ml Feeling faintness all the time, even at sleep. Extreme dizziness. Had underwent severe panic attacks since 1 month. Currently on lexapro but my psychologists gave some tests among which rbc is slightly more and vitamin D deficient. Any advise?
Even my bp was spiked
Hi Sridhar! I experienced sever panic attacks when my iron and vitamin D were very low. I think it's the body's way of alarming us that something is very off and out of harmony. I didn't however take any meds for anxiety, so I can't really help you with that. But I will say that anxiety, depression, panic attacks and feeling faint are all symptoms of vitamin D deficiency and anemia. What has helped me is changing my diet to eat more veggies, eggs and healthy foods; taking a vitamin when able, and getting as much sun exposure when possible. I truly hope you feel better soon. Keep me posted. ☀️
@@indeedlove
At what level you started feeling normal? Currently my level is 28.5 ng/ml. And pls tell me, did you have breathing issues?
@@sridharpatta6329 I am also experiencing breathing issues and was diagnosed with Vit d deficiency.
@@bilzy7727 your symptoms? Wht s ur lvl?
So, did you have blood pressures issues due to vit D deficiency? Or did you figure out what was causing it to go high? Hope all is well.
I think everything played a factor in my blood pressure issues. But most of all "STRESS". I noticed that when I began to focus on de-stressing, focusing less on my deficiencies and more on eating better, and removing as many annoying things, people and situations from my life, my blood pressure had improved. As I began to heal, I felt better. Stress is huge because it can really undo all of your hard work when it comes to healing. Stress depletes your system and does so many more annoying things. So I would begin there and reduce salt intake as well, then monitor it here and there. This is what I did. I'll do a more in-depth video on it, now that I am back to recording. I hope this helps and thanks for commenting and watching. Have an amazing day! ☀️
@@indeedlove thank you so much for your response. I’ve been working on my stress management and doing more things I enjoy and not over thinking every little thing. So glad you’re coming back!!!
Hi beautiful have you check iron saturation and ferritin saturation?
Checked
Hi Giovanna! Thanks for asking! Yes, I've had my full CBC, ferritin, folate and everything in between checked, lol. I am anemic and I do believe there is a correlation between anemia and vitamin D deficiency.
Do you take magnesium and K2
Magnesium, yes. K2, no.
Your hair back to normal density?
Hi asha! My hair is growing again, but is not as thick as it was before. I'm working on it though, so maybe it will finally improve.
Hey Indeed! You said you had really bad insomnia, was this from your low D? Did it ever improve? Was your insomnia really bad? I have terrible insomnia like I can't get sleepy and get into a deep sleep. I only have very light shallow sleep where I dream a lot and feel half awake. I wake up feeling like I've never slept. Did you have this? How long did you have it? My level is now at a 31 from a 17 but no improvement.
Hi Bea29able! Yes, I had really bad insomnia. I'm not for sure if it was from the vitamin d deficiency or the supplement. I believe mine was a mixture of things, but the insomnia went away when I stopped taking the supplement. Vitamin D gives some people a lot of energy. I made a connection to my insomnia and the supplement, when my mother began experiencing insomnia after beginning the 50,000iu vitamin D supplements. Her insomnia went away when she began to reduce her dosage of vitamin D...
@@indeedlove How did you get your D levels up? Mine doesn't go up without taking at least 10,000iud
@@indeedlove k
You should try taking magnesium
Same thing with me have you gotten better
What are your current vit D levels?
Hi Tejashree Ayre! i haven't had my levels checked since last February, my vitamin d level was 60 then.
Did your hands and feet ever turn red or feel painful?
I didn't experience these symptom with my hands or feet. I did experience bone and muscle pain throughout my body.
@@indeedlove Did you have terrible sleep like you felt half awake with lots of dreaming?
@@bea29able I have felt that. Is it related to vitamin d deficiency?
You are beautiful women
Thank you
