Vitamin D Deficiency recovery time??

I'm recovering from a Vitamin D deficiency. My levels (acording to my endo) were 16.. I was supplementing with 6-8,000 IU of D3 daily. I was told that my serum levels have gotten up to 70, but unfortunately I'm still exhibiting a lot of the same symptoms.. Brain Fog, Fatigue, LOW T (no libido), proximal muscle fatigue, etc...I'm trying to find out how long it's going to take for me to start feeling better again.. Vitamin D deficiency is a nightmare!

I've read that the time between serum levels raising to acceptable levels, and when the symptoms are completely gone can be as much as 6-12 months...

Hello,
It has been found that vitamin D levels increase for the first four or five weeks and then level off. Hence you should notice an improvement in symptoms after 3-4 weeks.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
