I was diagnosed with a very low deficiency and it wasnt even in the charts, so I started 4000 vitamin d and then calcium with mag, but its been a week, I feel even worse - i am more irritated and my body hurts.  Its frustrating, i dont expect a miracle over night, but to be worse is frustrating...Any advise please.. confused

Did you have any other tests done, perhaps Vitamin B? Maybe you are low in other things too.
Whenever I feel poorly drinking more water perks me up but I also feel bad when constipated. You have to figure out what is making you feel bad by going down the list of possibilities.

Vitamin B came back fine. All other tests: thyroids, cbc, creaton, etc were all fine.

No I dont have a signature.

Just those meds and my asacol/canasa and my allergy meds..I have probotics (cutrelle) waiting for me havent started them yet, i was trying to add new things little by little to see if they cause issues.

I would suggest you split the dosage of the vitamin D. What's the dosage of each tablet? I forget.

What allergy med?

I think you should start the Culturelle anyway..it shouldn't affect your agitation. Take one at night before bedtime on an empty stomach..

As well...fibre supplements can help them work better.

Are you agitated because of your pain? other distress? etc?

Shouldnt I take more vitamin D ? I am taking 4000ic.

Its the tiredness and irriation and my body hurts because I am irritated its like tense feeling and its because I am so tired. that is what I am aggravated with.

I am actually having regular bowel movements havent had that in a year.

Alavert-D.

Is the Alavert-D prescription?

Yes, I think you should be on a higher dosage of vitamin D....it's only a suggestion to lower it to see how you feel.

I know that some antihistamines make by body feel like it's crawling...my husband was on ranitidine and he felt totally out of it. So, maybe changing it might help. The D in the Alavert is a decongestant that could amp you up a bit.

I can relate to the body pain. I do take tylenol daily, for sure when I get up.

How much Calcium/mag dosage? women should be in the 1000mg/500mg to 1500mg/750mg daily dosage range.

I've been taking 4000 IU and don't feel any worse...not better. I do have joint pain daily... and since I am trying to lose weight I got an exercise bike and it seems to help with the energy level because believe me there are many a day that I don't even want to get out of bed. Are you exercising at all? Glad your bms are normal...that must be a welcome change.

10 hour work days stink...many days I don't feel like getting on the bike but I do and usually feel better for it. Are you sleeping?

I had this vitamin d deficiency too - in my experience it was like I noticed a general feeling of well-being over kind of a long period of time. Maybe 2 months or so.
