Just a video recording my experience dealing with Vitamin D Deficiency, my symptoms, and my road to recovery.
@iamnotmylipstick on instagram :)
seems like everyone has doctors that love to give anti depressants.
I had the same issue and was on them for 8 years and just grinded through life until one day my back and legs fell apart with pain.
One simple blood test is all it needed to diagnose vit d deficiency.
These doctors need to stop throwing anti depressants at everything!
MrAckers75 I agree. Been thru this also. This time I said no I'm NOT taking the antidepressant. There's something very bad going on in my body and if you don't help me I'm going to die. So finally bloodwork was done and showed my vit d was low a 15. And my folate high.
MrAckers75,
Very true! We have to be very careful when we are "diagnosed" (many people don't even realize that diagnoses can be erroneous, but they and MDs treat like they are 100% objective) with "psychological" disbalances nowadays, today psychology is a very (too) trusted field, also because any thing can be labeled as "psychological issue".
Another thing that *very often* gets misdiagnosed as "depression" is Lyme disease.
Beware, folks.
Yup, same here. My doctors throw antidepressants at people for everything. It's so bad that when I went to the doctors screaming in pain with a dental abscess (dentist refused to treat me) I left the surgery with a prescription for antidepressants!!! The correct treatment would have been antibiotics. Obviously I never took the antidepressants.
Same when I suffered an emotional shock - a doctor that had never met me, never even seen me and knew nothing about me (he was new to the surgery) tried to push antidepressants on me after 1 minute on the telephone! Emotional shock is NOT depression!
I must have suffered with severe Vitamin D deficiency for many years, if not decades because I have lost most of my hair, my bones hurt and have done so since I was 10, and many other symptoms. I've only been diagnosed a few months ago. Doctors do nothing but prescribe antidepressants for everything. It's absolutely disgusting! True depression is extremely rare, if it exists at all - there is usually a medical reason for it, or a person's circumstances in life are bad and need changing.
I just saw my doctor 2 weeks ago and told my doctor how I was hurting and tired. Five minutes into my appointment my doctor asked me if I was depressed!!!! I insisted that I was not and wanted my levels checked. Guess what?? Vitamin D deficiency of 11!!! How many of us are being diagnosed as depressed and being drugged needless. This makes me mad!
MrAckers. Being on antidepressants for 8 years when it was only vitD deficiency is pretty disgusting.u should bloody sue them.excuse the language but im seriously angry at that.I was feeling tired constantly for months and for someone normaly very energetic it was a nightmare.i could not focus. i had brain fuz constantly and couldnt keep my eyes open. Aching all over and started t feel ill all the time.i didnt c the doctor as i know they' crap so i rang for a blood test it seems i was seriously low on vitD( which is not realy a vitamin but a hormone)they also found i had extremely high calcium in my body that had caused a tumour on a throat gland which i am now waiting for an operation to have it removed. The point of my story lol. Is i would advise not only vitD checks but Thyroid checks also. Anyway look after urselves and stay well guys.💙
I have gone through EVERYTHING you mentioned! I am so happy that you made this video because this made me feel less alone and less crazy! My family acted like I was going crazy! I've been to the ER almost 20 times in the last 2 months! I was prescribed anxiety meds but they would only work for a short time and then the anxiety/panic attacks or heart attack like symptoms would just come back worse. I know i'm not crazy and I know my body. I hate when people try to tell me how I FEEL. I just stopped the meds cause I know that it's not mental. I later found out that I am too vitamin D deficient. You're right! I would not even wish this upon my worst enemies. It's horrible! It's debilitating at times! Nausea was horrible too. Thank you for making me feel better.
Dawn Gann your comment described what I've gone thru 100% I'm getting ready to start the vit d3 . I pray you are doing much better now.
Dawn Gann I have 10k in hospital bills because i thought i was dying and just had a vitamin d deficiency. Thanks i wish I could tag all of my friends and family in this lol I still have to taking the pills for another 3 months. Absolutely loved this video bc im not crazy lol. She felt just like me.
@@monieviawilliams8655 what were ur symptoms?
Sridhar Patta how you doing ? I remember we spoke 2 weeks ago
The exact symptoms that I experienced. I called the paramedics too many times. Thank God my vitals are always good. They suggested that i should start taking anti anxiety meds. Thank God the doctor finally found the problem
I found out about my severe vitamin D deficiency in March and in two months my levels went upto 33 ng from 7. I am aiming for 55ng.I started with 4K IU of d3 then went on to 10k IU along with magnesium, fish oil,Vit k2. It was life changing! I also had to correct my severe B12 and iron deficiency with shots and infusions respectively.I took a zinc + b complex capsule too. I also made some dietary changes by limiting dairy, gluten and sugar. I am a different person now. I used to have extreme hair fall, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, poor balance, bone pain, weak teeth, numbness in my toes, lack of concentration , poor memory, depression, anxiety and brain fog. My career, social life, relationships everything was suffering for so many years. I feel like over 75% of my problems are gone. It didn’t take too long, only a few months for this entire transformation. Please do not ignore nutritional deficiencies . I hope this helps people 🙏🏼
I am sailing in the same boat currently

Chelsie Rashea did you get better and also how long did it take for ur symptoms to subside??
I found out last week my levels were at 6!
@@Chris-top-her what symptoms do you have.
Did you get better
Just got my results and it was 8.5🤦🏾♀️
Since taking D3 and omega 3s..
I'm able to sleep better and now I work out more. My hair has gotten thicker, my energy has increased, and I've burned lots of fat.
Your all symtoms what you have it's all about vitamin deficiency only.?
Everybody is talking about Vitamin D deficiency, but not about having enough Magnesium. People don't know that we need to supplement Magnesium parallel to Vitamin D to overcome Vitamin D deficiency.
I also have to take that for absorption . I was also magnesium def.
Also Vitamin K2, check Facebook vitamin D support pages.
Well said. Both work hand in hand
Thank you so much for your testimony! Your story is extremely helpful. I am walking through the same thing right now. I thank God that after several doctors I finally found out that this is something that can be fixed. I have crippling effects from low D. I am now on prescription strength vitamin D. I know I have a long road ahead but at least I know what is causing all of my bone pain and sleepless nights. God is good! I am hanging onto hope.
That's funny because I was at 6 on vitamin D and only took vitamin D3 and brought my levels up perfectly with no issues
This is the first video on vit d deficiency that mentions shortness off breath which is one of my main symptoms so that’s reassuring. Recently found out my level is 17 and I’ve just started taking 5000iu a day with vitamin K2 and also some magnesium. Not change yet but it’s only been a few days
I have shortness of breath and chest pains. I can barely do anything.
I’m having palpitations and shortness of breath and mine is 30 so I guess it can happen even at that number . Hope it gets better for you it’s horrible
The shortness of breath is horrific! Our bodies are weird things & respond to stuff in weird ways. We just have to stay alert and keep track of differences.
You probably have to take higher doses. That’s what I’m planning to do.

Thanks so much for posting all of your vit d videos, they have really helped me be more positive going forward. Just been diagnosed with vit d deficiency (12 on the scale) and b12 deficiency and can 100% relate to everything you have said. It is so nice being able to show this video to people to explain how I am feeling cause I am not the best at explaining myself! I had the same issues with a&e and doctors as you did and had also been diagnosed with anxiety, but after hounding my docs as well.. I finally got some answers! What a relief being able to prove to people that it isn't all in your head! Hope to see some more vids from you soon :)
I've just been diagnosed with this. It's been absolute hell emotionally and physically. I can't thank you enough for this. God bless you and I hope you recover quickly.

Crazy isn't it. I have been sick for years. I was once extremely athetlic. Super fit. My life went to rat.... in two years. Horrible and constant pain with pitting edema in feet, ankles and legs. Hair loss all over my body. Urinary incontinence. Hot spots in my head. Soft finger and toe nails. Head fog just like you describe. Changes in cognitive thinking. Constipation etc. Pain all over body. Weakening of strength. No energy. Can't sleep. Feeling stuffed up and asthema. Stomach issues, chronic fatigue, falling asleep at the wheel of the car, lack of libido etc. etc. etc.... Been in one week now and feel better already. 5000 ui D3 supplements.
How low were your levels?

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was recently diagnosed after years of suffering and I’m just in the first month of treatment. Please continue with your updates, it’s giving me hope!
Are you better
I am so happy I stumbled upon you! I was diagnosed with low vit D a month ago. I'm on 10,000 iu per day as well. My level was at a 5, and I felt horrid. Along with every symptom you listed, I had severe headaches every single day. I'm already feeling SO much better. In fact, alot of my symptoms were gone after the first week on a supplement. I am so happy you are recovering too! Much ♡ from the U.S.!!
Headache gone ? how r u now..
I’ve had bad headaches too. Still get them, but not entirely as bad. I hope to feel better soon because this stuff is no joke
I can totally relate to this video. I was diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency about 4 years ago but have had clear blood tests ever since. The doctors don't understand how to deal with Vitamin D deficiency and they'll just say that the palpitations are anxiety and no matter how many blood tests you have they'll just say everything is normal. I can connect every single symptom I've every had with this video and I always suffer the most in winter. I've been searching for an answer to my symptoms for so long that the GP started to assume that I was a hypochondriac. I've got a thyroid test booked in but if that comes back clear then I will be 100% sure that it's Vitamin D deficiency again (which I've had before). Thanks for posting/sharing as this is extremely useful. :-)
Are you better
@@tawanabellamy8686 I've learned how to manage it a bit better and try to eat foods that contain vitamin D such as fish and dairy. I'm also B12 deficient so I'm taking spriulina once per day. The GPs are still useless 5 years later so I just look online for tips.

Thank you for making this, I was just diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency last month. For a long time no one could put their finger on why I was so tired and just feeling so crappy! It really does feel like your body is falling apart!
Thank you for your video and for taking the time to be so helpful to others. Its truly wonderful that you posted this video. When I heard you describing your symptoms it was vindicating what I have been dealing with for months. The entire process of being diagnosed with depression with anxiety. The overwhelming feeling that something is wrong with you and not depression just a bad feeling . Heavy head and tingling sensation. I finally saw a PA who looked at my symptoms from a different perspective and said you are vitamin D deficient. Hope you continue to improve and again thanks..
wow. I just found out I was vitamin d deficient a week ago after over a year of suffering. constant muscle pain (neck and shoulders and lower back) dizziness, head aches, feeling like my head is full of air, brain fog, nasuea, cramping in my feet causing my toes to curl, shin pain, burning sensation on the bottom of my feet, jaw pain, constant fatigue, depression and anxiety. I have also gained 20lbs. I feel miserable and sad every day. I get irritated very easily and cry a lot. I am only 31 and I feel like a old lady. I try to explain how I feel but it's hard when no one can figure out what's wrong. I just started taking the vitamins the doc prescribed. I pray they help me because I can't go on like this anymore. thanks for posting this video. I hope you are feeling better.
Hey sweetheart! Just hang on in there...take your supplements and it will get better. I have done an update video which should give you a good low down on how I'm doing now...
There is light at the end of the tunnel :)
😘 thank you. I am going to check it out.
christianne chung How are you? What vitamins do you take?
Same berly found out today about vitamin d hopefully I feel better 😭😭
@@bellathediva4211 how are you now ?
I just picked up some D3 vitamins,experienced all the symptoms you spoke of and what a gorgeous woman you are,thanks for sharing.🍒🍒
Thank you for sharing your story. For the past four years I have suffered with these symptoms, my Dr. treated me like I was a hypercondreact. I was finally diagnosed a week ago. Your story made me cry none of us should have to suffer with this. Knowledge is empowering, the more we tell our stories then others who struggle with this will get help. Funny now that I know what's wrong friends think I can take a couple of vitamins and its all good. I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you for posting this video.
I went through the same process with my GP and then another GP for years before they told me I had vitamin D deficiency - severe deficiency - levels are 5nmol/litre. I wasn't even given supplements so had to insist they give me some and after many weeks I was prescribed 800IU a day AND non vegan ones... pills. Then went back to my GP and insisted he prescribe a higher dose and vegan ones. He gave me 2,700IU in liquid form and still not vegan, so I had to buy my own.
I'm upping my dose to 10,000IU a day and then insisting on a blood test in 2 months to see if my levels have increased. I have osteomalacia _ adult rickets. The agony!
I can't say enough how your video made me smile and weep and was such a comfort to watch because I felt there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope your recovery is going well. All the best in life and health, Franka x
So glad to know I’m not crazy. My level is 12. Everything you spoke on is 100% accurate. I’m not taking 50,000 IU. On the road to recovery. 🙏🏾
Glad you are better! 🙌🏾😊✨
Did you recover??
Thanks for sharing your story! I can relate! I know the brain fog feeling of "not being in the world" anymore. Also the part where doctor's couldn't find anything in a blood test. It wasn't until I went to a naturopath who tested my vitamin levels that I found out I had multiple vitamin deficiencies, and was able to treat them. It's not anxiety, people! lol I just made a video about the signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency on my channel as well. Also, I just subscribed to your channel. =)
Hey I think I have multiple too.i think mines going to be magnesium,b12,vitamin d,maybe potassium
Thank you for sharing your story, Priscilla. I hope you are all better now. I went through much the same thing and it took many visits to the doctor and cardiologist to finally find a doctor who recognized I might be vitamin deficient. My D was a bit lower than yours so you can imagine how I was feeling. I am one month into my recovery now and already feeling much better.
What was your level ? Just in a month u got better 😱
So glad your on the mend , you seam such a nice genuine person , hope you fully recover
Thankyou lovely lady, your words were so comforting. My symptoms were parallel to yours,and you put it so well. There is light at the end of the foggy tunnel!!!
Your symptoms sounds very similar to Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia patients are usually Vitamin D-deficient. So glad you are getting your body back on track :)
Wow. I’m so happy I found this video. I’ve been having severe anxiety for the past year and my doctor just told me my vitamin D was very low. I just started taking the medication today. I really hope it helps with my anxiety. I had a lot of the symptoms you spoke about heart palpitations, shortness of breath, & always tired. I pray this get better with the supplements that he prescribed me. This video really made my day. Thanks for sharing and I’m happy you a better. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How are you feeling now? I’m going through the same thing now.
Thank you soo much for this video. I found out about my vitamin d deficiency a few weeks back
I had been feeling really depressed and tired all the time for months. No one understands how much a vitamin d deficiency can affect every day life. They think I'm being dramatic. You are the first person to acknowledge and understand exactly how I have been feeling so thanks! I still feel horrible lol but it's only been a few weeks since I have been taking the supplement so I am hopeful.
3 years I’ve been suffering with all these problems, blood test 3 weeks ago and I’ve low vitamin D, the brain fog and a little blurry vision scare me the most causing a lot of anxiety, my level is 21.8. I wonder if anyone else suffered with dry eye syndrome?
Me I’m it’s not ms my vision is a little wacky
I have probably 25 symptoms due to this condition. My vision wasn't great to begin with and I do wear glasses to see driving long distance at night but can see fine to read close up. Suddenly my vision started worsening to the point I was convinced I was going blind. Started with months of dry eyes that couldn't be relieved by drops. Then started noticing everything is blurry and I could not focus far away or close. Just started treatment and also taking Lutein for eye health. Hoping for some positive change.
My issues was sleeping . . the anxiety did not let me go to sleep or stay asleep. Over time it sucks and sucks and only got worse. Thankfully I took a magnesium supplement and it worked wonders for some muscle cramps. Tried Vit D3 just because, purely by chance . . and wow. I could go to sleep . . and stay asleep. Only got better. Only after awhile I figured it out that it was the vitamin D. My body just responded so well to it. It was like . . didn't you know they was a problem !!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't, and to find out later it is so common here in the US. Thanks for the video, brave of you.
Wow that all happened by chance? You haven't got a blood text for it?
The test for it is expensive and not really necessary, my parents had a bottle of it and I tried it cause the gel capsule looked cute lol. Kept on trying them till I got my multivitamin that I wanted. By then I noticed it was the Vit D that caused my changes. Slept so well, Multivitamin didn't do anything for me, except cost money.
+Mike S how much VitaminD did you take and did you take it with calcium pills or just by itself?
2000 iu by itself. At present I only take Vit D3 and B 12.
Dose magnesium work with u for sleeping or i shouldn't run a test
Mine is at 11, and I live in the pacific northwest(minimal sun). So happy to hear this is working for you!! I'm starting mine tomorrow :)
Are you better
You're telling my story! I was diagnosed a week ago (by my wonderful dad, who was the only person who believed it wasn't in my head). He got me to a rheumatologist who was EXCELLENT - after thousands of euros, tens of doctors, and loads of MRIs and CAT scans which proved nothing. I'm a week into taking vitamin D and it's already helping. I had all your symptoms - still do - but your video has been so helpful and reassuring. Thank you so much for posting xxx
Thank you for this. I was recently diagnosed with low d. I have spent 6 years going to several doctors, and them telling me it's in my head before I found the one I am going to now. I took my first dose today and look forward to feeling human again and not feeling like a crazy hypochondriac. Tired of everything hurting and being tired all the time. I have experienced all that you mentioned, plus some hair loss, dry skin, and not being able to lose weight. My doctor checked me for everything under the sun and low d is the only issue and once I get it normal in my body again all should go away. Luckily it is fairly easy to fix :)
So all get fixed after that or not ?
With the internet you have to diagnose yourself if you dont have diabetes or hypertension. That's basically the job for gp's these days.
Now you are getting better.?
vitamin d deficiency is no joke folks. I have been suffering from it myself and it has a huge effect on me. Fatigue, hair falling out, brain fog.
Maria Ialacci how r u know
Did you recover,??
Are you better
Thank you so much for this video!
I got the diagnosis last week, and the doc that actually thought outside the box and ordered massive bloodtests for me was my shrink of all people.... Apparently he saw that my mood swings didn't fit in in a psych diagnosis. I respect that man a lot now.
Update vid is now live :)
You’re describing EXACTLY how I’ve been feeling. Wow. Thank you for sharing. I feel less alone.
You are a god send ❤️ EXACTLY how I feel!! Literally like I’m days away from death. CONSTANT light headed heaviness , severe brain fog , chronic low mood , heart palpitations sometimes, just an overall feeling of “something is terribly wrong with me “ I now have hope watching this video ❤️ thank you so much honestly

Your story sounds almost exactly like mine! Thanks for sharing, it's good to hear that I'm not alone, but I'm still just beginning my recovery. Started at 15...
I went through this recently this deficiency is no joke feel better sweetie
Im currently recovering from my deficiency. Woke up one day with a sinus infection and started going downhill from there. Lower back pain, GI issues, muscle twitching, brain fog, left arm and leg tingling then burning pain. Really did think I was dying at some points. Luckily my doctor is sharp, and he tested me for a bunch of things, including vitamin deficiencies. Everything came back good except, sure enough, vitamin D. My levels were at 16. Im currently on week 4 of 10K units a day and I can say that I have seen some improvement. Still get tired more easily, still have some pains in random places that come and go, but I feel a bit more like myself. Good luck to everyone on their road to recovery!
Are you feeling any better? I’m currently going through this. I feel the pins and needles and also electric shock pain, like stabbing pain that only lasts a few seconds
Thank you so much for this vid...really happy to hear you are feeling better. Many of the symptoms you describe is how I have been feeling for months.
Are you better
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Everything you explained you were experiencing, I'm experiencing. I've been to doctor after doctor and they said the same thing. I now know what to ask the doctor to check for. Thank you again!
people vit d makes a different! I started getting anxiety worried about my health, I couldn't function, muscle Cramps, bone aching, tireddd dizziness, no one understood ..went to er 10 times past few months, finally found out I had severe vit d deficiency..level 13, started taking my vitamins everyday .. difference within a week.. so that just comes to tell u make sure u demand these doctors to check everything.. vitamin d deficiency is no joke
How do you measure your level of deficiency. I just did the test and my vitamin d is 14ng which is deficient so I was prescribed vitamin d
Tricia D which vitamin d did you take and for how long before you felt better?
Mine was 15 and my dr does not seem concerned
@@harrycarson2119 thats some thing you should check into
@@mac2brown mine is 8.60 i feel chest tightness and heart palpitations is it the cause of it?
hello, just wondering what your levels were when you had your bloods done, i was measured at 11, the amount of crap being really low in this vitamin { should really call it a hormone } is bad, every since the doc's first told me about 2 years back i keep dropping, the first signs for me are massive bone pain, stomach cramps, ibs type symptoms,really bad memory,...tired like i'd never slept( you need vi td to be able to drop into the rem stage of your sleep pattern and then your body can help repair without it, you will be struggling, the symptoms i have mentioned are just the tip of the ice burg...nee mind the fact that when you are so low when you first start on the high doses i get even worse bone pain, just remember you can't self regulate your levels using tablets..you need to check with blood tests,..where as with the sun your body self regulates, best advice i could give any one , first 15 mins a day get some sun with out any sun cream on your arms and face, that is usually enough for you to bring your levels up. and getting sun through a window does nothing for your levels, if you feels really low do a check to see if there are any tanning beds around your area that use uvb, not uva tubes 2mins on these at a time will hit the spot....good luck to every one, fingers crossed for you all.
How are you feeling now
Sunshine vitamin or steroid was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR. 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. GOD BLESS.
Wow, thank you so much for posting this video! I have been scared out of my mind and finally got the results of low vitamin D yesterday. I thought there was no way that could be the issue, but you've described how I've been feeling exactly! Tingles, one side of the body feeling odd, and the brain fog!
Have your tingling gone?
Are you better
Hi! Thank you for your story. I got word today my blood test showed low D. I will be starting the medicine soon. Good to hear about recovery. It is an awful way to feel. It's been about 3-4 years for me. Doc labeled me "fibromyalgia" so I just lived with it. When I could hardly walk with my watery legs, I knew something else was up. Cheers! xoxo
I so appreciate this video. You have helped me more than the Doctors. I'm struggling with many of these symptoms right now. It's been going on for years. It has been devastating. I've been searching for answers as to what's wrong with me. Your video just confirmed it's Vitamin D deficiency. I've been given tests results stating my level is 13. Prior to that it was 11. However, the Doctors never went into the significance of that. They just suggested I get Vitamin D from the store and take it daily. I did that but didn't see a huge improvement. Therefore, I stopped taking it and continued looking for answers. Your video lets me know I wasn't taking enough for long enough. Can you please share your resource sites and information about recovery time? I'm in tears because you described my ordeal but I could not find answers before this video. Thank you so much.

I to had to go through cat scans, MRI, Eeg,being told I had a TIA before having a discussion with a friend that suggested getting my levels checked low & behold 10,000$ later I find I have vitamin D deficiency smh wondering now if there is some magnesium issues as well. I'm a vegetarian also so I have to step up my veggie intake even the more supplements seem to be helping but new symptoms keep appearing like now my fingers hurt. Definitely understand about the mind fog & forgetfulness being in the medical field it makes you look like you don't know what you're doing let's not even mention the leg weakness & rooming patients all day..but nevertheless God is a healer & I know this to shall pass. Thanks again for posting!!
CC TAY howre you feeling now? Its really terrible
Update vid is now live :)
CC TAY AMEN God is our healer and this to shall pass! I went thru the same getting ready to start taking the supplements. I get the pain in my fingers also really bad. And tons of other bad stuff. God is giving me strength tho. Hope your doing much better. God bless
This is the best explanation of symptoms that I also suffered from!!! Thank you so much to bring it out in the open Priscilla!
so glad it was of help to you
OMG!!! You don't know how much this has helped me. I didn't know what was going on...I had all but convinced myself that I had some form of cancer the way that my hair was falling out. It's like it just started happening all of a sudden. Then the pains and cramps...I was told that I have arthritis. I was trying to diagnose myself....by doing a lot of reading and researching. I pulled my test results up from my blood work and my # is a 4. All the symptoms that you have mentioned I have been struggling with. Especially the tiredness. I have been on the 50,000 iu's for a little over 2 months now. The hair loss...the worse thing ever for me. Again, thanks!!
doctors often say its all in your head, but its not. Its not in your head , doctor just don't know what it is and embarrass/egotistical to say it and blame it on you. Doctor I visited also said the same thing. My symptoms don't match what they know. The symptoms often changes, its not consistent the same. I could only explain what I experience recently. The doctor also think its anxiety or stress
Are you better did you get better
I just found out that I am Deficient in vitamin D. My story is so similar to your experience! Thank you for sharing.
Did you get better
Thank you so much ! You're amazing ! I've been having a vitamin D deficiency for a year with 8,4 ng/mL I didn't experience muscle pain (or not more than usual) but yes just takes you ages to actually properly wake up everyday, meaning I couldn't start doing anything until lunch time or further. And as a student I've seen my energy levels and cognitive/mental capacities plumet drastically. It's unfortunate to experience that but at least, it's a relief when you finally sort it out and realize that what you have is serious business and that it's not just you being lazy or depressed for no actual reason. We don't understand how dominated we are by hormones and those nutrients. It's also due to living in the modern world where sedentarily and lack of sun and nature is a major issue. Also I'm overweight and I read that overweight and obese people have a higher tendency to be deficient. Thx so much for sharing, because quite a lot of people don't take it that seriously ! xoxo
Priscilla I appreciate you sharing you experience. I felt so lost trying to explain to others and my doctor, my symptoms and it varies day to day. I felt so helpless and I needed someone to relate to, praying that I was not going crazy. I was currently diagnosed with severe anxiety and conditions began to spiral it all boiled down to Vitamin D deficiency two weeks ago. My blood test came back severely low. I was blown away. The process is slow but steady. Much love!
How are you now?
Josue Sosa hey love! Thank for asking..it’s a slow process but there are improvements 🙏🏾😊
How are you doing?
Been taking the vitamin D for about 7 weeks now. I do see some minimal improvements but still a long long way to go. I hope I can feel normal again. I feel like a zombie all day, with severe brain fog and muscle pain and twitches. It's hard, especially if you have a job.
Josue Sosa it’s hard.. I truly believe that it take the body as a system or as a whole much longer to be renewed. By taking a step back from day to day struggles and reinvest that back into basic self care. Whether it taking a nap or some alone time, works for me. Stay the course it takes time.
My God women thank you that is what I have I just got a diagnostic from my doctor thank you thank you thank you... The worse is the brain fog OMG...
I was not able to do my laundry had difficulty speaking and a bunch of other S...
eblgraphics what was your vitamin d level? i had problems speaking too
17 lol but this could mean other things. Here comes the rest of the tests... Since health care is free here and I have never used it I will go for the full monty lol. Cancer, alzheimer's or and infection could be one of the reasons . The underlying problem needs to be define if there is any. In the mean time at least I can speak, think and move lol... Thank you... Don't forget vitamin E to...
I don't understand for the life of me why doctor don't test for these levels more often I never imagine low vitamins in your system gave you this symptoms...
eblgraphics ofcourse, but i also had numerous other problems like: lower back pain, depression, teeth and gum aches, joint pain, blurry vision, ibs, insomnia, burning urine, dizzyness, low blood pressure, fatigue, tingling hands and feet, extreme low body temperature, acne, dandruff, dry skin, brittle nails. I guess i've had everything that's possible to have excluding rickets, which is only attained in those below 400iu/day.
Hi hun, great video! I know this was like 5 years ago now but I was just wondering how you're doing now? I'm thinking I have a VitD deficiency myself, anxiety, aches and pains etc. Just had my bloods done, waiting for results.
Hope everything worked out ok for you!
Are you better
That's an excellent presentation you have done there lovely girl. So many people have difficulty convincing a doctor that they have a problem. Looks as thou I've suffered with this for many years. Thanks to people from other parts of the world that now live in low sunshine may have brought this to the attention of our doctors.
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. GOD BLESS.
My vitamin D level was at 12 around 7 weeks back. Started supplementing 60000iu per week as per my doc instruction.. I must say I'm starting to feel better after 6 weeks of supplementation. I had all the symptoms such as palpitations, twitching, the fatigue, brain fog, dizziness and I couldn't evn walk straight! I have even stopped driving. I was social but now I am even afraid to step out of my home. Did you have any issues such as high blood pressure?
Thanks for sharing I have all the same symptoms , I thought I was going crazy or dying LOL.. Just found out My Vit D is extremely low ( 9.2 ) after 4 different dr.'s ! UUGGHH Im on a prescription now hoping to feel better soon ! This sucks ! Glad you figured it out and are feeling better
Trust me I completely understand....it's such a horrible thing to have to deal with
Are you any better
Are you better
Are you better love
@neva change are you better
I live in the US upstate NY to be exact. I've been dealing with muscle twitching, muscle fatigue, pins and needles in my feet and sometimes my hands. Constant tiredness and no motivation to do anything for 3 months now. And of course my worst fear was MS or a autoimmune disease of some sort. And I was told I was severely deficient in vitamin D. My level was 10. I have been taking 50,000 iu weekly for about 2 weeks now and not much has changed but I know it will take time, I just hope it does for my stress level sake lol thank you for sharing your story and helping people like me who freak out about any symptom being deadly.
I have all this too! How are you going now? Xx
Same me how are y doing now
You should have D3 together with your omega 3 and K2 and magnesium. This is Dr. Berry’s recommendation for proper absorption.
Ange Amelia Are you feeling better?
Are you feeling better? I have the same symptoms plus electric shock pains all over body. MRI, EMG, and nerve conduction test came back clear. My vitamin D levels were at 17. I have been supplementing with 10,000 vitamin D3 with K2 daily plus multi vitamins and magnesium. I still see no improvements. My neurologist said it’d take about 4 months for me to see improvement. It’s been almost a month.
Can I ask if you experienced a cold sensation on your face? Not cold to the touch but just a really cold sensation. It seems to come on every winter for me and that’s when I become deficient again.
The cold air and even cold air conditioning makes my skin feel super cold on the inside but like I said not cold to the touch. The cold sensation then starts to burn like an ice burn and feels like my face is sunburnt.
It’s so strange and doctors look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them. But it only happens when my vitamin d levels drop.
Thank you so much I’m so glad you have shared this video. I am going the through the exact same thing where I knew there was something wrong with me. From feeling lethargic and tired all the time I’m constantly falling asleep I feel dizziness and that same feeling of not being quite in the world and feeling like I’m falling apart. I’ve been feeling breathless even when I walk very short distances and constantly feeling like I can’t carry my legs when I’m waking as they feel so heavy. Also been feeling the tingling pins and needles sensation on the left side of my face occasionally and back pain. I had blood tests done and and they all came back clear. Went to the hospital and to walk in centre at different times and they said I’m fine all is normal and they said I’m probably stressed and they are not taking me seriously. I also had heart palpitations and flutters and even had an ECG fine which didn’t find anything wrong with my heart. Started googling things and coming up with my own diagnoses but I’m quite certain now its low Vit D. I know this because the feeling started two months ago prior to my going away. I went to South Africa for two weeks I didn’t get any of the symptoms while I was there yet they returned about a week after my return. I do take Vitamin D supplements but clearly they are no way near the right dose. Will be going to the GP this week. Thanks again
You just described all of my symptoms I’ve been taking Vit d for two weeks and still no relief I was very low on my blood work. I’m suffering
Thank you so much! I thought I had MS or some rare horrible disease or cancer but thank you! I am indeed vitamin d deficient and you have given me so much inspiration!
Awwww thank you and I'm glad you're now embarking on your road to recovery
Look at the Dr. Coimbra protocol, he is a neurologist and successfully treats MS for many years with mega douses of vitamin D
@@PriscillaIANML How many months it takes to recover fully
Wow... You have just told my 12 month story! So many times I were told anxiety, I were even offered anti depressants this time round but I asked to wait for blood results which showed I had Vitamin D Deficiency!
Now on Colecalciferol 800 I.U 5 times a day.
Getting bloods done again in a few months time.
I'm so glad they found what was wrong and I wish you a speedy recovery x
Your video saved me. I had no idea what’s going on. Doctors in Uk don’t check vitamin D. For 12 months I was battling something i thought i was going going to die of. I had severe photophobia, nausea, I wasn’t eating for days. My hands were super stiff and painful. Eventually my leg started hurting and becoming weak. I had troubles walking because it was feeling like I was dragging my leg. Migraine was killing me, I had headaches for weeks without stopping. I was misdiagnosed chronic migraines and I tried many different medications which didn’t help at all. I went through so many doctors no one had an idea what’s wrong with me. Until I saw your video and went to do vitamin D blood test privately. Now I’m back to life. Hope your are well❤️
Are you better now
Omg thank you so much for sharing your story, I liked the part when you mentioned you went to the doctor and the blood test came back as clear the same thing happened to me, my legs were really numb and the pins and needles were a constant pain.
Update? How are you feeling now? I was diagnosed with low vitamin d (15ng/ml) - a month ago after regular yearly check up with my doctor . Now I'm supplementing 10k
iu vitamin d to get my levels up to norm. When you were vitamin d deficient - how was your sleep? did you wake up sluggish? I'm experiencing those symptoms right now. I wake up sluggish even when I sleep for 8 hours. Thanks.
AMD Hass yes that is part of the symptom i feel terrible in the mornings just terrible :(
I've done the update :) it's up for you to watch
Thank you for your story. I started treatment yesterday (blood value 27), hope it helps.
I am so glad that you have found a solution for your health issues...God bless you Priscilla...you are a beautiful young lady.....thank you for your post on this issue.
Hello Darling. Brilliant video. Ive recently had a blood test and my levels are low...But im just wondering if you had swollen lymph nodes or anyone else has? My lymph nodes in my neck are swollen and my body aches all the time :( Im worried it could be something else... Much love! Xx
I've had pretty much the same symptoms as you for months and found out today that I have a vitamin D deficiency :)
I'm so happy you now know what's wrong so you can get on your way to recovery! Just stay calm and faithful that better days are ahead especially when you experience bad days...you're stronger than the deficiency x
Libby Lilley did it get better
OMG, You just told my story. This is exactly what I was going through. Exact story. They kept telling me I was fine, test were clear, but I thought I was dying and people thought I was crazy. Here in the U.S. I think the normal range is 30-100 and my level was at 12. I just started my vitamin d treatment and I can't wait to feel great again.
How are you feeling now?
Are you better
Thank you I can relate to all the symptoms and my doctor did prescribe me antidepressants which I didn't take I know it's something else. Finally my blood test came bk and my Vitamin D is extremely low so she prescribe Vitamin D which I'm taking. You've truly been a major help I needed this especially when I can relate to the symptoms!🤗🤗🤗
My symptoms are exactly like yours. The first time, I felt fluttering in my heart which caused me to lose my breath, my body hurt, my head was pounding on one side, I had no energy and I had a bad cough so, I went to the emergency room and when I described my symptoms, the nurse had the nerve to giggle!! I was extremely offended. They didn't take my blood. The doctor sent me home saying that I PROBABLY had bronchitis. A few months later, I just couldn't shake it so I went to the clinic. I knew about my anemia, so I asked the nurse if they could check my levels. They did a blood test and found out that my vitamin d was an 18. I was given a supplement and felt better for a while.
This time, I was having the same symptoms. Labs were done and my vitamin d level was 16! I have to say, I feel like crap! I just found out I have arthritis in my spine and I'm in pain everyday!!! I have no friends, so I'm a little emotionally destroy. Folks don't realize the toll it takes on your mind and body. I understand you 100%!!!
Did you get bruises a lot? I just was diagnosed with vit d deficiency and find I get bruises randomly. Thanks.
Grace Luna I am getting bruises, YOu have to take Vit K with it
Update vid is now live :)
that might be due to other vitamin deficiencies like C and or K.
omg, I probably have vit. d deficiency I've been experiencing everything u said, so I know exactly what u mean, doctors kept telling me I was fine, I just didn't feel right. Glad ur feeling better.
Make sure you go and ask to be for the deficiency...if it's vit D then make sure they prescribe you the amount needed :)
ok.... Thank you
Did you get better
@@geraldinefuller7832 did you get better
This is exactly what I'm going through. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you so much hun 😭😭😭😭its been a horrible horrible time for me with this. I tried to describe my symptoms to my loved ones and they just think I'm overreacting and being stupid. No support at all it's so depressing. Thank you so much for sharing your story and symptoms! This has ruined my day to day life for months and caused rifts in my relationship. I'm literally so grateful to you, I'm not going crazy after all. If anybody doesn't have a supportive partner/family and needs to talk, please feel free to ask for my email. I will try my best. Love you all, thank you God😭😭😭❤
Dont feel bad I'm in the same boat and low vitamin d can bring you down low.and I lost relationships behind it that anxiety and feeling low and then when you tell people they just say it will be ok 🤦🏽♂️ but they have no idea how it feels
@@deandrehall3044 exactly babe it's awful xx
@@cantstopwontstop7317 How r u now ? Do u feel very low fatigue lethargic,, like a urge to faint passing out... Anxiety panic type.???
Feel like crying watching this. I was never even diagnosed and still haven’t been officially. I’ve lived such a painful existence since early February. I was constantly sick with viral infections back to back. I then got infected with strep and accidentally stumbled upon relief when I complained to the nurse about extreme fatigue and she told me to buy vitamin D supplements. Within 30 mins of taking 1 dose of 10,000 units I felt completely different. Now I’m waiting desperately for my doctor’s appointment so I can get labs ordered to check my vitamin D level.
The way I relate to the “out of body” brain fog feeling is insane. Gosh I’m just so emotional right now and can’t believe I have had to live through this for over 6 months. It’s been so so hard. The anxiety, feeling like I couldn’t breathe. Passing out while getting my nails done. :(
Passing out while getting my nails done means ???
Oh you and me both. My symptoms started this February. I felt I was dying. I had heart palpitations, bone/muscle pain, fatigue, pale skin, and depression. It was really bad for like 5 months. Now it’s slowly getting better.
It's interesting you were also told it was anxiety issues as well. The brain fog I can relate too, it's horrific. My level was 7!
It's horrible to deal with but as soon as your levels start balancing out it stops. Brain fog was one of the most annoying symptoms I had to deal with......7 is low! I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. What have you been taking?
Update vid is now live :)
They fling the first thing they can too you instead of eliminating the serious things! I'm glad you got yours found out an Chou can now work to recovery
@@PriscillaIANML Hello, I have a scary symptom of how every day feels the same there is no turnover. (Monday feels like Saturday) A living hell along with dizzyness, Confusion and brain fog. I just looked at my last level of vit d and it was 13 back 6 months ago.
@@edesquire1912 yeah my levels were 15 in June and I was feeling tired, weak, anxiety, depressed etc. I started taking 5,000 iu plus magnesium and changed my diet. I recently got my blood levels now and it’s at 73! The weird part is that I still feel some symptoms like dizziness, and a little anxiety but I think that will go away in time. I will also reduce the dosage and perhaps take 1000 or 2000 to maintain it.
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. You are saving lives like mines. I am in the process of being tested for everything. But keep being misdiagnosed from these doctors. I was treated for vitiman D/B not having enough. But I didn't know it could get like this. I want to thank God for you. I am sorry you had to go through those trails but it also has made you stronger than ever. I am doing my own research of these symptoms. Leads to the same thing. But I know I am on my way to win this battle.💜😊💜
Thanks for sharing your story. I just got diagnosed last week after 2 years of progressively worsening symptoms. I totally understand what you're saying. My # is 17 so I am about as low as you were. Going to look for an update.
I have been suffering for months. Numbness, sore and achy muscles, muscle twitching, severe fatigue and muscle weakness. I have been through every test imaginable. My doctor prescribed anti-anxiety meds also, but I didn't take them. After months of trying different doctors, I went to a neurologist and she said everything was normal except my vitamin D levels were very low. She didn't seem that concerned about it so I ignored it. Weeks later I decided to google the symptoms and the lightbulb went on! I asked for a copy of my lab report and my level was also 18. Glad you're feeling better...I have long way to go, but at least I have hope now.
hcmusic101 how are you feeling now my Vitamin D is at 17 i have muscle pain every day
18ng/ml or nmol
OMG I just found out my vitamin D numbers are so low 26 no wonder I’ve been feeling sick and terrible too . I ordered a high dosage the Dr recommends ! Thank you 🙏🏼 God
I’m glad i ran across your video ..i thought i was maybe still goin through pp depression and anxiety then i started to get bone and muscle pain . I found out my vitamin d level was 16 ..and i hear what your saying same symptoms i feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel but seeing this is giving me hope .
@zan H. Are you better
While recovering did you feel like sleeping long hours And still felt like you need more sleep?
ANYONE HAVE A RAPID HEART RATE OR INSOMNIA?
bea29able Yes to both
i have
Severe insomnia
Try the vit d groups on fb they may help
@@johnrodger2943 is this from the low vitamin D or from something else?
With my job and hours I knew I wasn't getting any D, I started taking 1000 IUs vitamin D3 daily and WOW! Anxiety, acid reflux, incontinence, fatigue and my IBS is all but gone, Had no Idea that it was all due to vitamin D deficiency.
I just found your video on my journey to learn more about Vitamin D -- and when you said it felt like someone poured water in your head, I had that same experience 22 years ago. Mine filled my whole body (the feeling) and ever since that moment I was "sick"! I have been living with what is being called Fibromyalgia and knowing there is no cure. I now think I may be deficient in D and Magnesium and will get the levels checked. Thanks for sharing! Hope you are much better now. :)
Thanks for sharing your story! I can relate. I was in a chronic fog headed slump. Took me a long time to get to sleep and had a very hard time pulling myself out of bed. I was having chronic anxiety and was too fog headed to gather thoughts. Basic chores were very daunting to do. It was getting worse and my frustration was growing. Out of the blue though, I decided to give myself 2000 IUs of a liquid vitamin d supplement every morning and even fully cut caffeine out of my diet due to my anxiety. A month later I am felling A lot more calm, collected, clear headed and even basic chores don't feel over daunting to do now. I feel like my better energetic self again.
thanks a mill,great vid really helped me
Ive been having symptoms building for about three years now starting with my senior year of high school. Watching this made me wanna cry. I thought I was dying, and everyone everywhere said its anxiety and never looked into it. The googling made it worse. ALS, all the cancers, MS, I was sure I wouldn't make it to 20. My GP tested me for std's out of desperation and my vitamin d level came back as 16. After doing a lot of research Ive realized how much this shit affects you. You really do feel like something is WRONG. detached from reality, and slow as hell. Muscle twitches/cramps, tingling, intense back and chest pains, headaches, brain fog, random muscle pains, feelings of hot and cold, anxiety, low mood, trouble sleeping, lack of appetite. But I have a history of depression and panic so nobody really thought it was anything real. Ive started supplementing 50K IU once a week and slowly but surely ive noticed little changes. Certain muscle twitches are much better and my grades are improving as the anxiety decreases, everything else isn't QUITE as bad but I'm still a wreck. slowly but surely gonna be making progress. Thank you so much for making this video.
ThatguyELI how are you doing now? Did your symptoms go away?
Are you better
you shd take 10,000 iu vit D3 EVERY DAY not once a week as it dissipates in the body quickly, needs to be taken DAILY.
Were you able to get your Dr to rule out all the scary stuff? Did you get an MRI or spinal tap?
Wow our stories are almost exactly alike. Except I haven't started taking my vit D supplements yet. But yes this has been a REALLY hard journey & if it wasn't for God I couldn't have done it. All the advice you gave is true and great. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless!
