Vitamin D Deficiency and B12 Deficiency

[LG0526]

Does anyone know what causes severe B12 deficiency and vitamin d deficiency?  I am starting 50,000 IU tomorrow (twice a week) and I will start the B 12 shots (twice a week) for probably the rest of my life.  I have been really sick and have some other symptoms that I have had a lot of trouble addressing.  i have an unexplained fever and Blood Pressure that goes really high(180/120) and then drops really low (90/50).  It only does this for about 15-20 minutes and it is random, but usually every day, multiple times a day.  I have NEVER had high blood pressure before, but it seems to be unexplained.  I also have a VERY rapid pulse of 150.  It is always at least 100 even when I am laying down or doing nothing.  I am having blood work to test for hormone probs, but i just wondered what different things can cause these 2 vitamin deficiencies as I don't believe they both just happened randomly.  Can anyone help?  I am desperate...

    Whenever your body is dealing with a severe health problem and stress, you can have significant vitamin deficiencies, so a great number of things could be the cause of your deficiency.
It is good that you are having tests done for hormonal problems.

My mother has been experiencing "yo-yo" blood pressure, similar to yours for over a year.
She recently did an MRI of her adrenal glands, and a very small "mass" or lesion (3mm) was found on one gland. After some internet research, I believe this is the cause of her extreme blood pressure ups and downs.
You should think about having your doctor examine your adrenal function if no other cause is readily found.

Good luck to you.

I also have a severe Vitamin D defiency and also B12 defiency, phospherous defieciency and Vitamin C deficiency.  I have malabsorbtive issues and some how my body does not convet D from the sun that well.  I take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily.  This is available over the counter.  The prescription of vitamin D ergocalciferol is oil based and hard for the body to absorb.  Also too when you go out in he sun make sure the your shadow is less tan your body length and do not wear sun screen as it will block the bodies natural process.  Also too going to a tanning salon and using low level  UVA tanning beds ca be helpful as well.  If you do gout in the sun do not shower for at lest 24 hours as by doing so you will wash off the process of the skin converting the sun and oils on th skin to make Vitamin D so it would be like a waste of time of being in the sun,  You can wash the private areas and under arms if need be but that is it with the soap areas.  
I am in the middle of seeing an endocrinologist whom will see if there are anyother underlying causes for tehmalabsorbitive issues other than the gastric bypass surgery I had 5 years ago.
Also too have you calcium levels checked with a Vitamin D deficiency you an not absorb calcium very well.
Hope this helps.
