Vitamin D Definicieny Anyone Else........

I have just found out I have a Vit D Def.but I'm still pre-op so that will give me some time to get it caught up 50,000 IU 1 a week for 3 months then goes to a lower dose after I get it checked again..I have took 1 50,000 IU and can tell a difference already...

I am too.....I took the same script for a month or so then my levels came up and I take otc vit d and also sit outside and tan too.....

I never knew I was def....dont feel any different then or now. Who knows.

Good luck with it on your end.....congrats on feeling better...

I was too as a pre-op. 

As a post-op, Dr Baker put me on Rx Vitamin D (1 per week****il I was no longer deficient.  But I've since stopped taking it.  I take Citracal Plus (8 tablets daily) that has D in it - so I'm no longer deficient even without taking my Rx vitamin D.

P.S. I could tell a difference when I was no longer deficient too.  My hips used to ache when I was deficient and I didn't know that was a symptom of D deficiency until after I'd already started the Rx D.  (That's obviously before I started obsessively researching vitamins/nutrition/etc.)

I just heard that kiwi is a fruit with lots of vitamin D.  I am deficient too so I think I'm going to start eating them more. 

I don't know what my Vitamin D was at the pre-op test (the day before) but apparently pretty low.
Dr Gibbs has me on 50,000 IU 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Then vit D with my calcium, as I already do and did before surgery.
I was surprised I was low on D.
I'm almost 6 weeks out and still feel tired. Have to make myself walk everyday. But at least I'm not napping twice a day as I was the first couple weeks.

My Vit D is doing to yo-yo. He just gave me anothe script to take Vit D to boost it up.
