My vitamin D was also very low, I was tired all time and always got sick. My doctor prescribed vitamin D3. I have read that D3 is more natural than D2 and that the body absorbs it at a faster rate than D2. Check this video out and good luck:

Also, You want to take the Motrin with food. Motrin is very hard on the stomach. Be sure they monitor you vitamin D with a blood test after taking all that vitamin D and again in about 3 months. I got osteoporosis from too low vitamin D. You absorb Calcium via Vitamin D so it is very important. Sunshine is a good way to get some vitamin D however, you also don't want to get skin cancer. You have to be in the sun a full hour. For me I am fair skinned and so I take 4000IU per day to stay normal. I still go for a walk in the sun but I still need a large dose. Everyone is different. Low vitamin D and Low B 12 and iron can make you exhausted. So, you might want to check those as well.
take care,

I'm not sure if I was tested for Celiac but i go back to the doctors tomorrow and I have a list of things I want to ask about and two of them is about being tested for Celiac and Ionized calcium, I just need to rule out the possibility of other problems, and now I am going to be taking more trips outside getting in the sun. Thank You and pray for me.
I don't know your story, but have you been tested for Celiac disease? Iron deficiency? I had both of those with my vitamin D deficiency, caused by the Celiac.
Remember if you can get out and get some sunshine, that's helpful. I suggest calcium at night and magnesium in the morning to help with body aches and sleeplessness.
You may take ibuprofen 600 mg with supplements, although if you can take them at different times it may help absorption.
