Hi, Midnitesun, thanks for your message. I'm really glad that your doctor figured this out when you are still so young.  Yes, I will gladly add your list to my list of deficiency symptoms on my profile.  Question: is your doctor testing you periodically so make sure that your level hasn't dropped again?  If not, get it done immediately.  A friend was severely deficient with a level of 5 ng/ml.  She was put on the 50K pill.  After her level got to 32 ng/ml after 6 weeks, her doctor dropped her down to 1,000 IU's per day.  In 4 months on 1,000 IU's, her level dropped to 22 ng/ml.  She got a new doctor who put her back on the 50K pill and has recommended that she get her level to 60-100 ng/ml.  We're waiting for her latest results this week.  If you were deficient and put on the 50K pill, and now you are only on ~1,600 IU's per day (50K 1x/mo), your level has most likely dropped as my friend's did.  Ask your doctor to keep re-checking your level every 3-6 months till you know what level of vitamin D keeps your level healthy.  I would shoot for 60-100 ng/ml as my friend's doctor has recommended.  I am keepin my level at 80-100 ng/ml for life.

Thank you for posting this.  I recently was diagnosed with Vita D deficiency.  Currently taking 50,000 units (I.U.) per week and getting ready to move over to 1x per month dose.  Was pretty scary what I was going through as far as symptoms and I am only 32.  HOW can it be pushed that during a CBC to make it mandatory to pull a FULL VITAMIN scan along with it?  I think SOOOO many diseases can be prevented by simply finding out if there is a vitamin deficiency. I just cannot even imagine what it would have been like if it hadn't of been found as quickly as it was.  I suffered for years silently but had enough over the last few months and finally found the issue.  I think I was lucky that I had a good doc to find it immediately.

Please add the following symptoms to your vitamin d deficiency list:

Hot/cold flashes

Nausea

Severe Fatigue

Women: Irregular Menstrual cycles

Sweats

Weight Loss/Gain

Loss of Appetite

Vision changes

temperature changes

hot/cold zones on skin

dry skin/oily

unexplained acne (past a normal hormonal age)
