Vitamin Deficiencies

[britee75]

Hello, I am deficient in Vitamin D at 19 and started my Supplement of Thorne Research at 10,000 for 2 weeks and then 5,000 after.
This seems much different then everyone else. But I was wondering if I need to take others with this as well as I read all over and it's so confusing. Do i need to take Magnesium, K2 or calcium also?
I also have low B-12 and some other B's -So i did buy some sublingual.
I also have a basic multi vitamin to take. I had 442 for b-12 but I believe B-6 was 7.0. So not extreme.
Also low progesterone and worried about Vitex as was prescribed.
So my question is do i need other vitamins.
My problems go on--I have old antibodies high in Epstein Barre that are inactive and she gave me maitake mushroom. I also take a probiotic. Isn't this overkill. Any help would be appreciated.

I am just so confused as I have so many supplements to take and I don't know that i feel comfortable as I am on Effexor Xr and Clonzepam.  Any help -I am seeing a holistic Dr. and she took a lot of blood and checked everything. I have suffered so long over 10 years with depression and wondering if all this time it was these vitamin deficiencies. As I don't think my traditional ever looked into any of this on my blood work.. ugh. Any help any suggestions. thanks.it's overwhelming that i feel like i am trying to be a dr. to research everything.

My doctor ordered heart enzyme test to be sure my heart was okay because I was a level 9 when diagnosed.  All was perfect.  He said it hadn't been at 9 for very long and was glad.  After 2 weeks on 50,000 iu's I felt a lot better.

Now I'm between 27-37 when tested 2x a year.

Actually no still dealing with the D. I am at 5,000 i.u. but need to take 10,000 i.u. and working with a holistic dr. with a bunch of supplements to balance my body out.. hoping it works.  do you take a large amount for your D?

Ya ocd loves to make thinks things that arent true I just wanna feel beter are you over your vitamin d symptoms?

[britee75]

You will drive yourself crazy if you think you have MS. I have done that so many times to myself. I have this and that and I was so convinced I was dying so one day my Husband said just go and see if you are. Well I was so anxious and one day I finally did it. I have agoraphobia so i have a hard time. So anyway I had every kind of blood drawn hormones, vitamins just to get the end of it and stop diagnosing myself. So I am sure it is your anxiety just getting the best of you. Don't look on the internet and google the symptoms you will have everything under the sun. Believe me I was convinced I knew what was wrong with me. And none of it was true... Rant anytime... Someone told me I was killing myself with worry. And it's so true.. It's hard to break. But I am just somehow persisting in getting better and not ruin my life anymore... I just had enough. So I am trying and believe me it' s hard.  But I hope that at the end there will be a good outcome....Try not to let what you think is wrong overtake you... It is probably so far from the truth...

No i really should its hard to tell if its withdraw for vitamin d defiency prolly both because my muscles feel weak I will neverget on another antidepressant if i have too i hate the zomobie effect is horrible i was worst on it  but this is vitamin  D forum im trying to hang in there but waiting 3months is hard i just wanna feel like i use to im actually starting to worry i never will be the same i heard that vitamin D defiency can mimic MS symptoms as well as vitamin B12  defiency it all ***** though hopefuuly things do return ....sorry for the rant im just getting worried and obsessing about my recover

Hello, I never was on Luvox. I am still on the Effexor Xr and I know it will be so bad to withdraw so not looking forward to it. Do you have any nutriton or wellness places. My plan covers 6 times a year but I found a special online for one. They were really helpful. Sometimes they are really  good with supplements to help with the withdraw even if it's bee months. The b-12 makes me so nervous I can't seem to take it. But I know I gotta get my D up so I am trying my best not to be nervous about every ache and pain. Do you take any Magnesium. They say sometimes when you take the D to take like a Magnesium Citrate with it so it don't deplete your Magnesium.
Hang in there... I really hope it gets better.

Ya withdrawal plus vitamin d deficiency is Hell I started laying out as well.  The off balance and cognitive issues are the worst for me. Im taking a b complex vitamin and 5000 icu vitamin d3 with calcium plus 400 Icu vitamin d3 it all ***** ... I read that vitamin d deficiency can mimic ms symptons you should google it ..ugh I having a hard time being patience with my delf and symptons ...luvox totally killed me for 8 months. I was looking forward to reclaiming my life aftee that horrible drug but now im dealing with this I guess the saying " if its not one thing its another " is totally true

okay we are already so anxious so one area at a time... I am sure a Dr. will diagnose if there is something to show for MS. these can be underlying issues yes but also same symptoms as D. I don't know about you but with my Anxiety I have already went thru MS, Brain, Lupus, Lime. I have just about everything in  my mind that I may have... But I was tested for just about everything...

[britee75]

Hello, you sound like me.. yes--i wonder if you have a mix of withdrawl also but they say all of those things can be caused by vitamin d deficiency. I just got off of Trazadone three weeks ago with L-theanine to replace it at bedtime after tapering it. But I do know everyone mentions these same symptoms with the D --They say it can take awhile to feel better after supplementing. I have been trying to get myself outside and trying to just lay there for 20 min.
For the B-12 i have been trying to get it through foods because I am having trouble taking even the sublingual. Is it easy for you to get tested for the b-12 and maybe get your thyroid checked out? When I play Dr. I have myself dead after all this research... I am sure you can relate....So you are not alone.. I hope you are feeling better...They do say you need magnesium with the D. I did not start taking the magnesium though...
