is there any update on your condition ?
Yes! My 3 month update video is linked in the description! I just got tested again and my levels are currently at 41 ng/ml. Trying to get them up to 60-70 right now ☺️
Hey I'm glad you're feeling better
When you did the test the first time (and got 15ng/ml) did you also check your calcium level? And how was it

@@joyfullysimple can you link the book again I feel horrendous. My vitamin D level is 50nmol and my dr said my thyroid wont work if d low so he prescribed 400iud vit d only
@Jessica Salvatore thank you , will definitely try to up my levels
I remembered the days where I had complete brain fog, where I could think straight. I had to work overhead 35ft in the ceiling mounting access points. Driving with brain fog is crazy, you feel like you're in a different world.
Yes driving that’s when you notice it the most.
Driving with brian fog causes me to have panic attacks. Its really scary at times
Similar story here. Level at 17. Experienced same symptoms. Told to take 5,000 IU's daily of D-3. Did extensive research and found Dr. Berg online. Bounced around between 20,000 and 40,000 IU's with K2 and started feeling better within hours! Settled on 30,000 doseage (40,000 gave me headaches) and continuing to improve on all fronts. My GP is clueless about K2, or higher doses, and did not suggest followup labs. This saga only serves to confirm our medical system is broken and continues to fail many of us.
Please what brand of k2 do you take?...it's hard to find k2 without D3cimbined
@@bettyausten9533 I now take a D3/K2supplement made by Dr. Berg . But before I found that particular item (which includes zinc and magnesium) I took a K2 product made by Sports Research made with coconut oil and not the bad vegetable oils that alot of cheaper vitamins include. Hope this helps.
Are you still improving?

Hello. Any update?
Great story! Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot. Glad you are feeling good!
We are hiding in houses and our food isn't as healthy with nutrition as previous generations. I told my Dr that if this was the way I was going to feel the rest of my life, I did not want to live.
My vitamin D was extremely low. The D she prescribed me hit my system like speed. Wow, leveled out now. Now I take My D3 - K2
with good magnesium everyday now. Life changing.
What symptoms did you experience ? How long it took ?
Thank you for this video!! I’ve been feeling so so crazy lately and it randomly hit me, “you haven’t been outside in a long time- it might be your vitamin d levels.” I’m on RUclips trying to find information and your video made me feel so much better. Going to check out the book now! Thank you!!!
I am so glad to hear that! I hope you will feel better, soon ❤️
Quick question- did you notice being more tired when you first started the vitamin d/ k? I know magnesium can make you sleepy, but I took it at night. I believe the vitamin d/ k might be making me sleepy during the day 😅
@@m.m.6134 Hey! I was indeed a little bit sleepy during the day sometimes but after a while that went away :)
I was also very blessed to have found out and linked the two together after having some anxiety mood changes and sleepless nights. Hope you will get better soon !!!
I am so glad I watched this video! Trust me I could relate to each and every second of this video. I have exactly same situation and same symptoms. I been struggling from last 9 months and just felt so helpless. All this make so sense. Not sure how to thank you enough.
I am so glad to hear this video helped and I wish you all the best on your journey to getting better ☺️❤️

@@kavya2050 it'll take time ur really deficient,I was at an 18 take D3 and be strong ur body will have withdrawals from it ups n downs,it'll come n go but start to fade
Bless your heart Manja. I feel your struggle sweetie. I’m so glad it’s working for you. I have many of those same symptoms, tho I also have degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and nerve damage as well. I took myself off very very strong pain meds and am using cbd oil that actually works. The fatigue is the worst tho. Gah! Praying for you right now. 🙏
Oh wow, I am glad to hear that the cbd oil works for you! I am so sorry to hear that you have to suffer so much pain. Thank you so much for your prayer! I will keep you in my prayers as well ❤️
CBD does nothing for me and I have ME/Chronic fatigue.
Found out this past Friday that I'm at 11. I am extremely tired all the time. I started taking 2000iu, then upped it to 4000iu. Started taking k2 also. And sitting in the sun for 20 minutes a day. I'm sure I'll be feeling better.
Way to go! I'm going to start doing this TODAY! I noticed when I went to the tanning bed I started to feel less fatigued and had more energy. Thank you for sharing your story. It's going to help people.
What symptoms did you experience ? How long it took ?
Wow I did not know! Never heard of it but I hope your fatigue will be under control so you can feel as great as you deserve to 💕
Aw thank you so much! ❤️ I hadn’t really heard about it either, until my husband suffered from it a few years ago.
@@joyfullysimple I am sure you’re going to feel so much better soon! Hang in there!!
Thank you for confirming what has happened to many of us.
As a woman I feel like we are somewhat discriminated against because we go in with all of these symptoms and they automatically assume it’s our thyroid. Or they assume that you’re just crazy or stressed out. I literally have been going for the past five years for all of these symptoms and then I started to develop a bone spur on the bottom of my foot. It was only until I told her not to give me any more prescriptions until they give me a complete diagnosis on whatever is systemically happening because I was having the worst insomnia, anxiety, muscle pain, now a new bone spur, bone pain, lower back pain, you name it. I am so angry because this has happened when I was letting them know that I felt like it was not my thyroid. I’m also angry because I live in the Pacific Northwest! I take my vitamins and I take my multi and a D3 but for some reason my levels crashed after having some oral surgery. Evidently when the bone structures are disrupted in someway, that can also deplete/lower your D levels.
Did your doctor put you on that Meagan does once a week for 12 weeks? I am on 55,000 IUs right now once a week. I’m still really anxious and having terrible insomnia. We all have to be each other‘s advocates now because our medical people are so overwhelmed.
take 10.000 UI every day instead of a mega dose once a week.
Im taking this dose in hopes that it helps me too
I just got my labs back a few days ago. Turns out I'm significantly deficient in vitamin D. I have been struggling and battling for years. Constant therapy, trying different diets, drinking lots of coffee and energy drinks every day and always stocked up on excedrin. I've also been RIDDLED with anxiety. I'm so excited to start my script. I'll be taking 50,000IU of D3 once a week for 3months so I can get my levels up. I cant wait to feel normal!
Make sure you take K2 (MK-7 version) & magnesium. They are cofactors & absolutely necessary to get your body out of a Vit D deficient state. Otherwise you are just wasting time & money on the treatment treadmill. You'll also quickly deplete your magnesium stores.
Why a huge dose only once a month? That seems weird since we would've been in the sun every day making at least 20,000iu a day naturally.
@@SanchoGracie how are you love
@@SanchoGracie hey love is k2 good to take everyday with magnesium and how often you check your levels and should you get sun and supplement the day you sit out in the sun or not it’s summer here in Georgia lots of sun how are you
@@hockeymomavalon2499 hey love how do you supplement? And how often you check your levels
Life saver!! 💗💗💗
Hi my life has been hell basically every day since 5 pm, extremely tired, sleeping bad. My dr checked many things and for him my vitamin D was 39, he said it was fine. I still went to buy the vitamin D. I am starting my 2 nd month and I feel way better! I can take care of my family, work and do little sport and I go to bed normally tired. I also stopped coffee plus alcohol, maybe all the things together helped i dont know. But I am happy that I got better.
I am so glad to hear you’re feeling better!
Bro my vitamin d levels were 11 🙄
39 nmol/L? Anything under 50 nmol/L is considered vitamin D deficiency according to my endocrinologist. Definitely bring this up to your doctor again! My levels were at 30.8 nmol/L and I was instructed to take 9000 IU of prescription vitamin D3, and all together do a six month long supplement plan to get back to a healthy level.
@@christinehansen98 best of luck for your journey
Are you feel now 💯% ??
I just got my levels tested and they're also significantly low (32 nmol/l). This after years of doctors not knowing what's up. I am so relieved to hear you've had similar symptoms to me (pain, fatigue, brain fog...). I'm now taking 20,000iu D3 prescribed by my doctor and hoping it gets better soon! But after hearing what you say, I think I'm going to keep on taking 5,000-10,000 iu per day, especially as I'm moving to Norway soon...
Oh wow I am glad your doctor prescribed you a high amount of vitamin d! And I hope that you will feel better soon ❤️ Yes, especially in Northern climates pretty much everybody should be taking vitamin D. I found out the hard way, too.
I hope you feel better soon! It will get better as you continue supplementing yourself.
How long did it take for you to find out your results after they took your blood? Was it a couple of days, a week or even weeks?
Hey 20000 iu for week or day ? I am on 60000 iu on week ? What else should I take plz tell me ? I am struggling 😭
@@yogeshsahu6895 Go out in the sun and try to workout too bro
I’ve been chugging cold brew coffee every morning to get energy. Started taking vitamin D and I can finally stay awake while watching my son without taking a nap
Be sure you are taking cofactors: magnesium & K2. You'll feel great for a few days, but D3 supplements will QUICKLY deplete your tiny magnesium & k2 stores - boom - you crash again.
@@SanchoGracie interesting yeah it’s been a few days since this post and I do feel tired again I haven’t taken any magnesium in a while and never taken k2 before thanks for the heads up
@@SanchoGracie hey love is k2 important to take with d3?!?
Thank you for your video. I just realized that I'm not the only one having exactly the same symptoms and worries. My fatigue level was at the point that I couldn't even speak, severe anxiety and heart palpitations, not to speak about the body aches, joint pain specially back and hip pain. Dizziness, forgetfulness, brain fog. Never waking up healthy enough to start a normal day. I was having the same symptoms and no dr could understand the gravity of the situation. Thanks again for your video.
What your level
I’ve been suffering the same symptoms as you for the past 3 months. Many symptoms have eased but I’m still experiencing dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, weak legs and some gut issues. I’m supplementing 10,000iu d3 daily with 100 mcg K2. My original level was 29 nmol = 12 ng/L so extremely low. I was tested a week ago and my new lever is 69.7 nmol = 30 ng/L so still low but going up. I’m praying to start feeling better soon! I’ve been pretty much house bound for 5 months in total 😫
@@dannyperez9621 How are you now?
@@dannyperez9621 what are you trying to get your levels to ???
How long did it take you to get better?
Thanks for sharing. Something that we sometimes over look in our health. I'm Aussie and keep out of the sun because of many skin cancers. I need to remember vitamin D because I don't go out in the sun even in this very sunny country.
You’re welcome! Where I live the sun doesn’t come out as much but I also stayed out of the sun for years for that exact same reason. You can always get tested to make sure whether you’re sufficient though ☺️
I have heard that if vegetable
Oils made with omega 6 are eliminated from the diet, it will increase skin resistance to the sun significantly.
I just cried out to God saying I need help with this and then I found your video! Thank You God! and Thank you too! My level as far as I know was 5.4 i am suffering from so much right now. I just did a check today so am waiting, and I got the book you recommended. Please pray for me. Thank You!
How are you going threw it to
I just found out that mine is
@bethelgreen How are you doing?
I am doing much better. Praise the LORD! I almost died and had bones joining together, but everything is restored for the most part. I don't take vitamin d anymore. I go out in the sun. And travel to the Caribbean once a year to refill my storage for the cold months
@@BethelGreeenplease tell how did you recovered
synopsis: fatigue, back pain, hip pain, brain fog, cracking finger, numb feeling near left eye, vit D: 37 nano moles/liter (14.82 ng/l), vit D is pre hormone, doctors know little about nutrition, took 50,000 IU a day for 10 days along with K2 & magnesium.
Update?
Thanks so much for sharing...especially sharing the dosage.
This is exactly what I need.
How are you now?
You’re welcome! I am feeling a lot better! My back pain has also gone down drastically and almost disappeared by now.
Hi! I got the book by Dr von Helden but it is SUPER DIFFICULT to work out the dose I need! Is there a simpleton's guide to how to work this out?
Thank you x this video is the closest to how I am today x I'm 73 and this has never happened before x blood tests showed vitamin d defiency x almost 3 months of taking it I am no better x but listening to you is helping me cope x
Are you taking enough Vitamin D3 and with the magnesium and Vitamin K2 cofactors? That could speed up your progress. I recommend the book, "The Ultimate Dose" by Dr. Judson Somerville.
Change the brand of vitamin D
“Doctor’s Best” brand is the Rolls Royce of pills quality. Take D3 with a fatty meal. Take Omega 3 pills.
Magnesium Glycinate
Vitamin K2 m7 is necessary.
I thought I either had chronic fatigue or burnout too. And it’s hard to be so deeply tired when you’re trying to get through college. So glad I finally went to a doctor. I normally get anxious about going to a doctor, but it got to the point where I felt like I had to. On the track to recovery!
Please help me how can fix this problem my levels are only 13..I feel like dying

Isn't it something how we trust in our doctors to be of our best interest and they like to side track what we're feeling . Everything to them has to be of their basic routine labs I've noticed . If it's not that then anything else in there eyes is considered internet science. It is a shame how vitamin markers are not part of routine labs . I was at a 12 in November of 2020 after being prescribed a horrible Antibiotic called Ciprofloxacin . This antibiotic devastated my health , wiped out all my vitamins and minerals and had me bed ridden for months . You are a smart woman for doing your own research. It is imperative. They feel we have to bow to their degree and trust everything they say and it doesn't work that way . Only WE know our bodies best . Thank you for sharing your story
my levels are 5 ng/ml ,it feels like everyday is a battle i wake up feeling so bad everyday and everything is just so hard to do it feels as if my head is in some weird state where i do not understand anything i do not feel anything ,i suffer from severe back pain ,aching fingers ,brain fog ,headache an what not i am a student and it started to show up on my studies pretty badly and the WORST part is that nobody seens to understand that i want to love a normal life where i would do all my chores without feeling the pain and exhaustion but i just canNOT ,my doctor has not given me any supplement he js gave a few medicines.i js don't know what I'm supposed to do i rly want to know how it feels to be normal
Our days are not spent outside anymore (for most of us).
Buy 4000-5000u with MK7, and take daily with food. *Pills are not enough* - you need sun exposure also!
Also, take a broad base magnesium supplement daily.
Get 10-20 mins of sun exposure on large portions of bare skin either at 10am or 3pm (adjust for latitude and skin tone). Find a private place in the backyard. If you get sunburnt, shorten the duration.
Eat dark leafy vegetables.
If you can, get an hour more of sleep each night.
I've had all typical health issues - fatigue, digestive issues, headaches, heart issues, mild/moderate depression etc etc.
I'm convinced the recommendations are not high enough. I believe some people are prone to not obsorb vit d effectively.
I'm a redhead, fair skinned, living in Australia - I've always struggled, consistently with values around 20. Levels need to be between 50-70 - a massive difference in health now. ❤
How much are you taking every day after the first 10 days? Could you please help me figure out the dosage? I have 80kg, male, and my Vitamin D is at 21. By the way, thank you so much for this video. It helped a lot!
I started off with 5000IU but I am up to 10.000 because I feel a lot better that way. If you want to know the dosage you need to maintain - the easiest way is to take 1000IU per 10kg of body weight. So you would totally be safe taking 8,000IU per day. You’re welcome - thank you for watching! ☺️
Did you take 50000iu daily or weekly mam?
That's crazy. I was having random lower back pain and literally thought I was having a kidney stone....as well as knee pain when going up and down stairs a lot at work. I always felt tired and I thought it was because I changed my hours from 9am to 4am recently. The worst part was I had very bad anxiety. After a doctors visit and getting blood work my vitamin d was 13.6. Right away was told to take 5000UI and went back on my anxiety med. After 1 week I no longer need that afternoon nap and I feel 1000 times better.
Wow. Every doctor I’ve seen tells me it takes at least 3-6 months to build your vitamin d levels back up. I was at 19. I’ve been on 50,000iu’s weekly for a month, now I’m down to 1 capsule once a month. I’m just now feeling a little energy coming back and I hope to feel better soon. Be grateful for only having to wait a week! I hope you continue to improve quickly!!
Wtf you described everything I have I was literly accepting I have kidney stones or disease and was going to die at age 17
@@LilNutDumb I hear you I had so much body pain and worried thoughts I thought the worst as well. All those feelings was just anxiety. I also mentioned chest pains and it giving me anxiety before I went back on my meds....I got a ultrasound for different body parts and everything was fine. Anxiety meds fixed everything and I'm sure the Vitamin D helped as well. I havnt had any anxiety attacks after taking my meds and enjoying feeling worry free. Hope your summer is going good!!!!
@@marcosgarcia8509 my summer is going very terrible I was so close to seeing the er but i guess it's really I'm just low on vitamin d
I assume your serum calcium level was normal ! strange ! when calcium goes down one gets cramp and anxiety attacks along with. was your heart racing ? I had neck pain instead.
My cousin had very low vit D levels 5 years ago. Her level was 14ng/ml. The USA scale. That was very low. She improved since.
So glad I found your video. I found out about my deficiency not to long ago from the Endocrinologist. She prescribed me some Green vitamin d pills to take once a week. For 8 weeks. Then when I tried to make an appointment to do a follow up and make sure my levels went back to normal I was told I was supposed to be prescribed vitamins for 12 weeks not 8. So I get prescribed 3 more pills and was feeling amazing at first now it’s like I’m back to the old drawn board, I went and ahead and bought some vitamin D pills myself. D3 Nature Made, 1000 IU. I take one a day . Is it safe to take two?
Yes completely safe! I had been taking 10,000 IU for 6 months and my levels were just barely right (41 NG/ml) when I had them checked last time.
@@joyfullysimple thanks you and really!! Well I have a Telehealth appointment tomorrow to get a referral for the blood work to be done. I hope that I can get prescribed some more pills but on a regular. These over the counter are not really cutting it. Some days are better than others but idk. Let me ask you, is it true that when you have a vitamin D Deficiency, most likely you have low iron levels??
@@joyfullysimple so update the doctor will check my levels and and say she will put me on 50,000 IU a week for awhile until everything gets where it needs to be.
How much of the vitamins are destroyed by your stomach before it gets used?
I also moved to Germany and same thing happened :( thank you for your Video!
Felt these, always felt fatigue without any reason, was diagnosed with Vit D deficiency in 2020 but now I understand everything is causing it
How are you now ?
Dear Manja, thank you so much for this very interesting video 🙏👍
I have very low vitamin D levels (28 nmol) and my main issues are very bad joint/muscle pains, digestive issues, restlessness and at the same time fatigue.
Now every time I try to supplement vitamin D, my joint/muscle pains INCREASE. It’s hardly tolerable.Might this be because the body actually craves it? I do take it with K2 and I also started supplementing magnesium.
Not quite sure what to do, push through or ...?
Maybe you or someone here reading this, has an idea? Thank you and all the best! 🍀
I am not really sure to be honest, sorry. Maybe it would be an option to find a medical professional who actually knows about vitamin D and consult them?
Hlo how are you right now..?
what kind of gut issues like dihearea plz reply
Hi I’m currently dealing with a vitamin d deficiency How long did it take for sleep to get back to normal an for heart palpitations to go away? An for the memory to improve ?
For me it was 3 months taking 5000Iu a day
Hey! I’m 38ng/ml (previously 28, so glad I got it up a bit) but am working towards 70. Do you ever experience side effects from the large doses? I’m taking between 15,000iu to 20,000 iu (with k2 and magnesium) a day but sometimes it can effect my sleep/make me feel a little ‘wired’. It also makes me very irritable
You’re basically taking way too much Vitamin D. It’s called Vitamin D Toxicity
Take it first thing in the morning, and for magnesium what type of magnesium you are taking?
@@christianfernandez4285even when I take it in the morning it makes no difference and I take Magnesium Citrate
My vitamin D was 19 and I had everything younve mentioned in this video…. My vitamin D is now up… thank God
That’s great! My levels are up to 41 now ☺️
How did you get your vitamin d up sis
How long it took for u
@@joyfullysimple fast time you cheking haw much your vitamin d level???
I also had the same levels as you & experienced fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, muscle twitches/aches. I've been getting sun and supplementing for about 5 weeks and feel slightly better but still have some tough days. I think I need to add more supplements such as magnesium & b-vitamins but not too sure. My doctor has not been helpful at all (prescribed an antidepressant which triggered me).
Magnesium and K2 Mk2 are crucial to supplement as well. Without these Vitamin D won’t work that well at all. And not sure which Vitamin D you’re taking but it should be D3 (not D2). Yes, unfortunately most doctors don’t know a lot about this at all ☹️
Take care and I hope you’ll get better soon!
@@joyfullysimple Thank you for the tips. I'll be sure to find some K2 & Magnesium to add into my routine. I am taking D3 but i know recovery can take some time for others. I would love to see an update video in the future as I hope all of your symptoms get better as well 🙂
Yes, you are right - every body recovers at a different pace. Sure, I will make an update video in a few months ☺️
I have all the same symptoms as you. Muscle twitching was the worse . I been supplementing with a multi vitamins an seem to be getting better
@@moniranceccxx4189 yeah I've been getting slightly better, still have muscle twitching though. I'm glad your multivitamin is helping (:
So help me with the math. My values are 20ng/ml. I’m 102.33kg. Desired value is between 70 to 80ng/ml. What’s my 10 day dosage? I have 10,000 IU capsules as well as magnesium and vitamin k2.
how do you feel now?
What is the name of the German doctor who wrote the book “healthy in 7 days” please
I keep experiencing fatigue daily ! Not the plain one the one where I just think I should die like I get scared after seeing just anything or anything fast or anything it disappears after half an hour or so but it's terrible!!! Went to the doc she suggested a blood test my vitamin d levels were low so started a vitamin d 60 k capsules once a week it's a little better but what should I do when I experience it? I am only 12 btw nd my levels are 10.90 ng
It might take a while for your levels to go up - you should see if it is possible for you to take vitamin K2 as well because then the vitamin d will work faster and it won’t take so long. I can’t really help you with the fatigue because that will only go away once your levels are raised. You could better ask your doctor about that. Good luck and I hope you will feel better soon ❤️
So the dosage is
50.000 IU WEEKLY for 8 weeks or
20.000 IU Twice a Week same duration or
10.000 IU EVERYOTHER day or
5.000 IU daily
I would prescribe and take the 1st one ,easier..
Yes this is more clear because I saw on the chat some are saying 50k and some are saying 10k
There is do many vitamin D tests out there, they ranged is price very much. Which one do I need?
Why do I get mouth ulcers frequently with low vitamin D , my calcium level in blood is ok ?
My doctor said that they are OK with a vitamin D level of 30 but that 30 is actually on the low side, mine is currently 20 and has been low for several years now, I constantly feel week and exhausted, have been taking the 50 thousand once a week for a few months now but so far it hasn't come up at all, and I don't feel any better, I have started taking it more then once a week from time to time but also this is a prescription so it will run out with time, I'm thinking of just picking up some extra at a health food store to take on the side, and just today bought some OJ because I have heard that helps it absorb better, I have often had brain fog, I am more then content to lay in bed all day, gave up exercising when this started, and have given up numerous jobs because I didn't have the energy to do them, so my income is horrible, I hope this is all that is wrong and will soon be straightened out, I would prefer it to be vitamin D then some of the issues that seem to run in my family.
To better absorb vitamin D you need to take it with food that has fats in it. Vitamin D is fat-soluble.
how low was your vitamin D level when you did the blood work?
My levels were at 16 ng/ml
Did you ever get pins and needles/tingling in the hands and feet?
Was diagnosed with low vitamin D level 8 i believe. Got prescribed d2. I trying to supplement d3 with magnesium and k2. Which bran or supplements do you recommend. Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Hey bro! What was your symptoms..?? Bcz i am at the same level..did your ever get muscle spasm or twitches..? Plzz reply
I had almost the same symtoms and i have been suffering since June.2021 and i had no idea what is going on. I had chronic fatigue, couldn't work or go shopping or anything for two weeks maybe then i got depressed and thought my life is miserable until a got to the idea to let my vitamin d get tested.
The doctor said that this could not be related but he paid some attention and made my wish.
I have got tested on 30.08.2021 with 16 ng/l vitamin D.
I started supplementing for two and a half months with 20000 iu weekly and got blood tested again on 19.11 and the results got doubled to 32 ng/l i was surprised because i never thought that.
Now i am not sure if i can say i am significantly better but some of the symptoms have got way better apart from sleeping.
I can fall a sleep but i wake up few times at night and can hardly sleep again. And during the day i feel restless :(
Does this mean it didn't relate to vitamin d deficiency? Because now theoretically i must sleep better and be more energetic!
Or the body need little bit more time to adjust with the hormones? 😅
Any experiences there?
you should check if your deficient in any other Vitamin or check your blood sugar levels . And also have Magnesium Glycinate or Chelated magnesium for better sleep . I myself is Vitamin D deficient but I sleep peacefully because I take this magnesium supplement and have a really clean diet .
I have the same issue my level were 7 ng/l my life were hell i took 100.000 once every 15 days for 3 months i waited a month and half to check my test again it went up to 34 ng/l but i still have mild symptoms i don’t know if its enough or not besides i have done all the test results and everything is normal so now my doctor gave me 1000 ui to take daily but I think it’s not enough because i still have bone pain, muscle pain....
Update...
it turned out after a long time that i have generalized anxiety disorder which i didn't want to believe at the first maybe.
after almost 9 months i stopped taking vitamin d because nothing has worked.
today i am suffering under sleeping issues where i have to take sedatives to get some sleep.
@@GS-sh6ct Yeah but 32ng/ml is still low. The amount of vitamin D each person needs varies and isnt the same for everybody. I wont rule out the vitamin d until you get to 70ng/ml imo at least 50ng/ml.
@G S how is your sleep issue now?
I just discovered I have vitamin d deficiency. Currently experiencing heart fluttering and slightly chest discomfort. Also, feeling so ill and weak. Anyone has experienced heart sensations?
I haven't been able to get a hold of my doc. So I don't know if I should go buy vitamins.. and if so what to start with? Vitamin d is at 20ng/ml
Yes, have you been referred to a hematologist? I have battled iron deficiency anemia. I know the side effects are heart palpitations. I noticed that even with taking my ferrous supplements my symptoms were getting worse. I was referred to GYN and that's how I discovered the vitamin d deficiency as well as being anemic. Get to an hematologist stat. Hope this helps.
@@shondamarie7825 have you felt better after getting with them?
Yes, I was prescribed 50k ng (1x wkly) Vitamin D3 , with Ferrous Sulfate 325mg (2x daily), Vitamin B12 (injections). The hematologist pulled many labs (not just your standard CBC). All products can be purchased from the store but if levels were as low as mine you will need the highest doses the store has to offer.
@@shondamarie7825 good to hear! My blood levels were off but by few points and I got a recommendation to a hematologist. Haven’t gone insurance went out but I plan on it just to make sure it’s not anemia. Hope life blesses you the same as you have to me!
@@bowdy_x7122 Thank you! I will keep you uplifted in my prayers. We are blessed. Thx again!
I am having chest pains and nerve pain since 2 months.... I have so many weird sensations and symptoms in my body... I went to the cardiologist, gastroenterologist, medicine specialist, and alot of Dr ... Nothing came out.... Every Dr is saying I have anxiety... And anxiety is causing all the pain and sensations... But I got my vitamin d checked, and it is 12.06... can these pains be because of vitamin d deficiency? Please reply... I'm confused
Yes all these pains and the anxiety could be related to vitamin d. Just get your levels up and then you will see if there is a difference (there probably will be!)
I am having chest pain, nerve pain and numbness in hands and legs (basically entire body), concentration problem, eye pain and severe anxiety. My level was 8
How do you know how much magnesium and k2 to take? I got 12 ng at my blood test and read the healthy in seven days book, but can't find the k2 and magnesium dosage.
The daily recommended dosage for K2 is 200mg - so that’s what I am taking. And for magnesium it’s 400mg daily. If you move your body a lot, you can also take a little more magnesium ☺️
@@joyfullysimple thank you for replying. Btw, you're video is so informative and I did lots of expensive investigations...to eventually come to your video and do the blood test for d3. You're awesome!

Hello . 6 months ago your levels were at 41 ! So good to see they are rising but curious to know at that level did you still have any symptoms ? If so what were they ? Have your levels raised higher now 8/28/2022 ? You really don't know how much you have helped so many with your deficiency story / recovering / thank you
Hi! I haven’t tested again, yet. I really need to, though. I have had a very stressful few months so I wouldn’t be surprised if my levels have stayed the same because stress can inhibit vitamin d from being properly absorbed. But my symptoms have pretty much all gone by now ☺️

Hello, After taking supplements how may months did it take for recovery ? and did you notice when you went back to normal ? Im in the same situation
It depended on the symptom. Back pain took the longest to go away. I made two update videos. One 3 month update and a 2 year update where I go into more detail ☺️
Hey vitamin d deficiency also causes watery eyes ?
Hey can you tell us do we have to take calcium supplements also along with magnesium and vitamin K2?
No you don’t at all. The book I read mentions that calcium supplements can even have a negative effect because people already get enough calcium with their foods. And too much isn’t good at all.

Thankyou for sharing, I was on treatment for the H.pilory I finished and as the weeks passed I started to feel weird but doctors didn’t told me anything, today I was checking my labs and my vitamin D is low, I knew that hpilory treatment and diet can cause vitamin d levels to decrease but didn’t know about all of the symptoms that would cause, Now everything makes sense the fatigue, the muscle pain, insomnia, hot flashes, dry eyes, depression, THANK-YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!

@@djmx9237 I feel good, my levels have doubled, when I got my levels tested originally it was 24.1, last test it was at 54 so I only take the D3 supplement twice a week now.
Your story is almost identical to mine. It began with extreme hair loss. Progressed to hip pain in my sleep. Insomnia, brain fog, muscle cramps, the WORST exhaustion, an anxiety attack (never had this before), sharp pains in my head above my ears, and vertigo. It’s been over the course of 3 years and I am just now finding out my vitamin D level was at 19. I’ve been taking 50,000iu for a couple months now and now, I’m noticing a difference in my sleep. I’m exhausted, but my body won’t let me nap or sleep at night. I’m a very busy person. I love to clean and take care of my family, do work outside, etc. I’m praying I get back to normal soon.
That’s me my body won’t let me nap or sleep at night I have to take melatonin but I’ll end up waking up early which pisses me off I literally just want to get some sleep cause that reset the body

@@rahulmourya7680 my vitamin d was still considered “deficient” when they took me off the meds, so I got a new doctor Monday. He’s ran tests on me Monday and I go back tomorrow to get the results. My ultrasound showed cysts, so he’s leaning toward PCOS, but I don’t really fit the standard for weight, so we’ll see. I’ll try to remember to update!
Last week i got my results and they were 17 nmol/l . And my doctor prescribed me with some kind of oral spray with D3 400 iu , and i think that is really low of dosage for my case and i will be going to another doctor for a second opinion.
Hey I have a question, my text was tested in Pg/mL should I divide it by 2.5 as well?
This is so confusing to me I was just with my doctor today and I asked if I can take my vitamin with k2 and they say wtf is that they said I don’t need too I h potassium in my sister my levels of potassium are fine just to take vitamin D3 and be in the sun for like 40 mins to an hour also my vitamin D3 is it’s now at 9.9 super low I feel very si k my bones hurts so much
Sun Exposure
The best way to get vitamin D3 is through sun exposure. Go outside and get some sun, especially in the mid-day when it’s the strongest.
However, many of us use sun block, which is good for our skin but not so helpful when it comes to the production of vitamin D3. By blocking out the UVA and UVB rays, sun block can interfere the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D3.
Hi when you had vitamin D3 did you have soft mucle and pain and Vertigo and dizziness thanks
Hi! I didn’t have vertigo but I was dizzy a lot and I definitely had regular pain in my shoulders, back and hips. I have heard from lots of other people who have had vertigo so it’s better to get yourself checked just to be sure

Yes you totally can! I take 10,000 per day at 62kg and I just got my results that my levels are around 42ng/ml.
Hey I just wanted to ask beside taking supplements for vitamin d do you often go outside and take sun bath I just want to know.?
Not a lot at the moment. Where I live, you can’t get vitamin D from the sun from October until April. In the spring and summer, I go outside in the sun as often as I can
@@joyfullysimple how much vitamin d you consuming right now ?
Hi did you test for esr level when u were Diagnosed with vit d deficiency? If yes, what was the level?
my esr is high with low d what’s the connection
Hi, I also just found out that I am extremely deficient yesterday my levels is at a 8.1 😬 the past couple of months or almost year I’ve had multiple life changes and I honestly thought my stress, ANXIETY, Depression, was mainly the cause of my life which can be a part of it but I was more tired, more anxious, more depressed and my sugar levels went up too. 😬 I learned stress can rise it but when I found out a year ago I was low I took my vitamin d but I stopped after two in a half months which was a really bad idea that I did. But I definitely will start taking it everyday for now on now knowing that it makes a big life difference and also with k2 and magnesium like you mentioned I can’t wait to notice improvement with this after a couple weeks 😅and I also was taking anti depressants I just stopped taking the one I was taking recently since I automatically knew I was feeling the way I was feeling because of my vitamin D deficiency I mean an 8.1 is pretty bad and last time it was a 10.1 😬 but I definitely will be taking care of my health and staying on top of that for now on my vitamin levels. And thanks for the video it was really helpful and I feel less alone. 😅
Our days are not spent outside anymore (for most of us).
Buy 4000-5000u with MK7, and take daily with food. *Pills are not enough* - *you need sun exposure also!*
Also, take a broad base magnesium supplement daily.
Get 10-20 mins of sun exposure on large portions of bare skin either at 10am or 3pm (adjust for latitude and skin tone). Find a private place in the backyard. If you get sunburnt, shorten the duration.
Eat dark leafy vegetables.
If you can, get an hour more of sleep each night.
I've had all typical health issues - fatigue, digestive issues, headaches, heart issues, mild/moderate depression etc etc.
I'm convinced the recommendations are not high enough. I believe some people are prone to not obsorb vit d effectively.
I'm a redhead, fair skinned, living in Australia - I've always struggled, consistently with values around 20. Levels need to be between 50-70 - a massive difference in health now. ❤
Do you drink coffee by chance??? If so, you can actually leach essential vitamins and minerals from your body, Vitamin D included. Coffee is considered a mild diuretic.
I actually did know that about coffee but I happen to not drink coffee 😅 I did however tell my husband about that so that he makes sure there is a few hours in between his morning coffee and his vitamins.
But thanks for the comment! I think lots of people don’t know about this.
No worries at all! and alcohol can of course have a similar diuretic effect. I've had magnesium and Vit D deficiencies from both substances , and the feeling is nuts!!! Like your body just can't cope. Doctors dont seem to test Mg and Vit D as first line tests alot these days, and people get thrown into the chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia bucket way too easily.
Yea, I totally agree ☺️ My doctor didn’t believe me either but I am glad I persisted and I was right!
My level was 20 and doctor said it’s normal but I have leg pain so after 3 months I been taking 5000iu 2 times a week and feeling way better. I don’t know how much the level went up so far gonna get it check in January
It’s good you listened to your gut. I hope your levels are way better now ☺️
How did you get your levels up and what symptoms did you have?!?
@@Cezzey119 I got it my blood checked back in January and it’s up to 28.4 now. I took 5000iu 2 times a week for about 6 months to reach that number. Did you get a blood test done and checked your vitamin D?
My level is 10.8ng. Is it low? Someone said i can increase it by drinking milk and going out in sun, it isnt that low
That is extremely low actually. Taking extra calcium won‘t help you at all. I’d advise you to watch Dr. Michael Holick’s lecture called Vitamin D State of the Art. I linked it in the infobox.

Does low vit d cause cracking sounds and painful joins in fingers and all over body specially neck plz reply plz?
Yes, it is known to cause joint pain. You should def get your vitamin d levels checked out.
I'm doing high dose vitamin D3 too and feeling much better. A few more sources people might be interested in to look up: The Coimbra Protocol, Jeff T Bowles, and Dr Judson Sommerville.
@Diana Moore If you take higher doses than about 20,000 IU per day you need to also take high doses of Magnesium, Vitamin K2, Boron, and Zinc because the D3 depletes those vitamins from your system. That's the only way that D3 could be toxic. I found Jeff T Bowles information very helpful. There's another RUclips video called Miracle of High Dose Vitamin D that is an interview with him. Right now I'm taking the Doctor's Best brand, but am looking into others. High doses for long term are for helping cure major diseases. 10,000 IU/day is good for anybody.
I got tested a few weeks ago and my levels of vitamin D were at 9. That’s a dangerous level and I am surprised that I was able to walk around still. My doctor prescribed me 50,000 iu of D3 but I had to research to find out that you should take additional supplements. My doctor didn’t tell me this at all.
Thank God we have the internet to go for.

Last year I had my levels tested and they came out really low 14ng/ml, but I got prescribed the lowest dosage and a few months after that, my levels increased only by 1ng/ml, then I decided to go to an endocrinologist and then he prescribed another not very high dosage but I did notice an improvement just not enough for me to feel okay again, I’ve bought cod liver oil instead and so I’m taking it daily, but most of the things you said click with me because everyday I feel so tired and that sleeping never proves to be enough plus occasional muscle aches, I also read the lack of Vitamin D can wreak havoc on your stomach so I’ve been having stomach problems despite multiple tests to find anything wrong with my digestive system but nothing so far, I did notice it also worsens my PMS symptoms a lot and overall I feel like a mess. Many doctors as you said don’t think it’s a big deal or just dismiss it.
Thank you for the video and for the book suggestion, I’ll check it out.
Oh no I am so sorry to hear you have been going through so much for such a long time! I really hope you will feel better soon! A lot of doctors unfortunately prescribe a dose that’s suitable for children and that’s why it takes forever for the levels to go up sometimes.
Updated please
I was following the medical medium for over 2 years and my symptoms didn't better, perhaps 50% better.
Everyone said that vitamin D is not import but yet some people are healing, funny though, the people that healed were light skinned with a sun tan.
Seeing people come and speak about this topic really give others hope.
I started to question some of his information when he said to pray to angels.
Actually My husband is a poc and Vitamin d is helping him a lot, as well. I have also lots of Caribbean friends and pretty much all of them take vitamin d because they have had some deficiency in the past.
I am a Christian and I believe that praying (to God only) definitely helps but we are also designed a certain way and it’s just a fact that we don’t get enough sun as we used to and are mostly staying inside and that definitely has an effect on our health.
If you haven’t gotten tested yet, I’d just do that because then you will know your levels for sure and know if you need to do something about it.
@@joyfullysimple yes, I am getting tested every three months, my last level is 65nmol or 26ng. I was born in Guyana and migrated to Canada in 96, after several years I started to feel depressed. I worked as a system administrator and spent most of my time indoors. One day last year, I quit after feeling out of control. I walked away with all the company knowledge. Lol

I'm from India. Please guide on tanning. Thanks in advance
Tanning won’t stop you from absorbing vitamin D but if you are already quite Dark skinned it could mean that it takes your skin longer to absorb the vitamin D from the sun so you might have to sit in the sun a little longer or start taking some extra vitamin d3.

Is hot flashes sign of vitamin d
Hello, just want to explain my story after listening to yours. I have been feeling unwell for the last few months. Severe dizzy spells, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle twitches and uncontrollable shakes, lethargy, no energy, breathless and short of breath, aching bones and limbs, Sore dry eyes, severe anxiety and panic attacks and chest pains. I have always suffered with anxiety, but this has been on a whole other level. I had bloods done at the doctors and while waiting for that I had more dizzy spells and pain so I went to A&E. They checked my blood & checked my heart, but said all was normal apart from my heart block which I knew about. Anyway I was baffled. I asked myself "why am I feeling so bad and yet everything is normal". This made my anxiety so much worse. I rang the doctors yesterday about the blood test they did on me just to see if they came up with anything. Low and behold doctor called me today and said you're low on vitamin D and this will be causing your dizziness, lethargy and all the other symptoms you have been experiencing. He has prescribed me a ten week course of high strength colecalciferol to get me back on track. I'm so relieved that I know what it is and I'm hoping to God they work and make me feel like my old self again 🙏
Hello Katie, thank you so much for sharing your story! I hope that your symptoms will get better soon - it’s always good to pair Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2 MK7 and Magnesium because that will help your body absorb it quicker and better in general ☺️

My levels are 9 ng/mL which I guess is extremely low. I’m getting a prescription here in the next couple days. I always considered being tired all the time was just a consistent part of my life. All of the symptoms make sense but I’m not one to go to the doctor and get a check up. I think I need to advocate for myself more and take my issues more seriously. My anxiety keeps me from getting help most of the time.
Me too. My level was 4. Prescribed 50,000iu of D3 once a week for 6 months. I quit after 3 months for fear of Vitamin D toxicity. Doctor didn't want to do another level check. I would feel fantastic about an hour after taking it, but then horrible bone pain would hit me the next day. Research showed me I should be taking D3 instead of D2 , along with K2 and Magnesium. Now 4 years later, I think I am deficient again. My own fault for not keeping up with vitamin D intake. I am having another level check on a week. Life is weird.

It's imperative that you take the cofactors: magnesium & K2. You will QUICKLY deplete your magnesium stores (which isn't much to begin with) very quickly. I made that mistake & was hit with TERRIBLE angina like chest pains & heart palpitations.
D3 & magnesium can be upsetting to some people's stomach (mine). If that happens, take Vegan D3 & Chelated magnesium. I've experienced zero side effects since switching.

@@joyfullysimple I havent till now, but Im gonna take this soon...and thanks for the reply. I will keep you updated about the progress and hope you do well too
Welll!!! Similar was my situation a year back I had back pain, couldn't bend, infact couldn't sit for more than 30 minutes continusly, anxious ,fatigued ,sad( kind of depressed) ,used to sleep much still not fresh .My vitamin D level was way below than lower limit when i got tested . For almost a year I took calciferol 60000 IU and daily milk consumption and recently when i again got tested my vitamin D was almost close to upper limit. Now I literally can see the change in my life.
@@MohitKumar-gb9oj ah man same same, now its been almost a month since I have been taking D3 and seeiia bit of improvement...still Im not in the condition to workout properly as I did before.
@@chhatrakamalboruah2294 I had vitamin D level around 14 a year back . I took calciferol 60000 IU weekly suggested by my doctor. I took it for an year( more time than he recommended) ,milk and sunlight regularly now my vitamin D level is close to upper limit of sufficient level . Just be patient and take it what is suggested by your doctor.
Hope you get well soon 🔥
Thanks for sharing your story! I have to BEG my doctor to test my Vitamin D level. He doesn’t seem to think it’s important 🙄.
I am so sorry to hear that. I really hope you can get your levels tested.
I have brain fog, fatigue, low back pain and apathy which was killing me, was just not having the motivation to do the most important tasks of my life.
Just started 10.000 IU since 2 weeks.
Also, I noticed my muscles needs a long time like a week to completely heal after 1 day in the gym with just medium to low level training, this was killing me.
I am 37yrs/80kg.
I just started now to feel improvement in my mode.
dude check your testosterone levels too, could be low T and low vitamin D3
Mohammad bataineh: how are you feeling now?
I also have brain fog, apathy, having no positive emotions, no thirst, no appetite. Did you taking vit k with it.
Omg this is me Im gonna try this❤
After my regular check-up I have just found out that my D vitamin level is 4.8 ng/ml. This can explain some of my mild symptoms and tiredness, although not sure if it can also cause difficulty to gain some weight despite eating frequently and healthy.
That's incredibly low. Optimal is 80ng/ml. Your doctor will say your okay at 30 but you can still have symptoms. Severe too.
@@Maddiesxx Thanks for your reply...
I guess it's very individual. For some people certain level can cause severe symptoms whereas for others that level can not...
What I can say from my experience, after a week of taking vitamin d, I felt way better and almost no symptoms...
Soon 3 months will pass since I started it, so I will retake the test and see how my levels will look like.
@@giosha2000 keep up the good work!
@@Maddiesxx how are you sis are you taking vitamin D
4.8? 💀 omg
Magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate which one is better or vitamin d3 absorbtion ?
Magnesium citrate because the body can absorb it better
@@joyfullysimple thank you 👍🏻🙏🏻💯
@@joyfullysimple I have citrate… glycinate is considered the best they say but it didn’t help me like citrate does.
Hey I am vitamin d deficeint I take one time 60k iu in week...how should I add vitamin K2 ? Should I take daily ?
Yes, 200micro grams daily - that’s how I take it.
