Vitamin D deficiency is also caused by a Parathyroid problem. Doctors are finding that most of us suffer from a deficiency of Vitamin D and Magnesium as we don't get enough from our foods anymore. Our food has been modified and it doesn't contain the nutrients it used to.
Hope we all get to feeling better.
My son went thru the same thing and his doctor told him to go into the sun everyday for 15 minutes.
Vitamin D helps the body properly absorb calcium and promote healthy bones. Vitamin D deficiencies have been linked to seasonal depression, bone diseases, muscle pain, and risk of cardiovascular diseases. Poor diet and lack of sunlight are among many reasons behind vitamin D deficiencies. For example: I live in the northeast, and our population is very high in this deficiency because of the lack of sunlight during the winter. Seasonal depression is quite common during this time. By February, many of our bodies are depleted of vitamin D, causing us to be tired and moody. Thus, it is important for us to eat properly and take our vitamins if we are prone to such deficiencies, after speaking with a professional, of course. This isn't to say that taking vitamin D is a cure for depression. It can help depression associated with this deficiency, and only a doctor can determine that. Even if you aren't feeling depressed, weak, or tired, you should still follow your doctor's advice and take the pills. At the very least, it'll prevent more serious complications like cardiovascular and bone diseases.
