Allergic to Vitamin D

I'm Vitamin D deficient and started taking 50,000 IU of Vitamin D; only to find out I'm allergic.  My face and neck have swollen and developed a rash.  I've read this has happened to others, but I haven't seen a solution posted.  I'm sure it will work it's way out of my system; however, I'm on day 4 and wondering how much longer the reaction will stick around??

Thank you!  The allergy did clear up exactly a week later.  I appreciate you recommending NAET.  I will research practitioners in the area.

Is it possible it is a Jarisch Herxeimer Reaction?
If it isn't and you do have confirmation of this allergy, then holistic allergy elimination should correct it and clear Vitamin D, so it would be safe again to take it. Search: 1.Allergy Antidotes, 2. NAET (Dr. Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques)
I use the first one with great results. No drugs, safe and efficient.
Seek Practitioners/Doctors trained in this field in your area.
Hope this helps.

It can take up to 4 weeks for the rash to go away...

If the neck and face are still swollen you should see your doctor.
Have you taken anything for it? Benadryl?
