Have you had your vitamin D levels checked lately?

I picked up some D3 at Walgreens last night. I am hoping it works as well for my issues as it has for Meems. Thank you for posting all that info.

Good luck momof4inmi, it takes a little bit...one thing I majorly noticed even before the pain being helped, was my mood! WOW! And energy!

Wed night I took my 50K...thursday I was down, Fri pain but better, Sat pain, but much better..today I was back. I'm hoping once I discuss the D2 vs D3 issue w/ my Dr. we can get that straightened out so they're all good days.

Definitely check out the D3. It will make a huge difference.

It does take a bit to get adjusted to such a large dose at one time. I had some nausea for the first couple of weeks, but that subsided in time. I agree that the energy boost was incredible. My doctor told me that she didn't know how I was walking upright before I started the high-dose supplements. I was sleeping 12 to 14 hours a day the week before I started the supplements, and I would still wake up exhausted.

OMG, I had so much energy today I felt like I was on drugs, it was AWESOME! Mon & Tues are for sure my best days with the D2...then it ebs. Planning on getting in this week to shift that to D3...all I can say is WOW.

Mom2Lucas & Meems-glad you are feeling better. Just remembered something that concurs with what you said when I took Vita D3 50,000 IU'S prescription once a week.
That day, I was unusually hungry, nauseous, irritable with a headache and had the most wild, vivid dreams. I always felt much better the next day.

I found out why: Vita D is really a hormone!
Not really a vitamin per my Rheumatolgist and research.
That is why it has over 2,000 chemical reactions in the body, and has so many widespread effects.
That is also a reason to not take too much, and have toxic levels.

As with any overdose of a hormone,
it can also cause permanent damage if D3 levels are well over 100iu/dl.
Since it is bound to our fat cells, once toxic, it is hard to clear.
Short of drugs to take it out of the system, weight/fat loss is the only other way.
That is why those who lose a great deal of weight have low Vita D3 levels, and need to get their blood levels checked.

Does anyone know how this can effect little kids?


I am always looking for ANYTHING that might make my 4 year old DD better :sad:

She has started getting chronic pain in her knees and ankles.
