vitamin d deficiency/ tingling and muscle twitching

Hi all,
Does anyone know vitamin d deficiency can cause muscle twitching and tingling?
As I know, low calcium can cause muscle spasm, but my calcium and all other vitamins minerals are normal, except vitamin d is low.
Anybody has a same symtoms like me....????

Thanks

I have been having all these symptoms for almost a year now plus my feet burns during shower. I bought the Now D3 of 5000IU with the K2 and within a week or 2 of taking this I started getting heart palpitation, I stopped taking these and no more heart palpitation. At least my problem is minus one. All I get whenever I go to the hospital is some pain relief and referral to see a neurologist. Called their office and they don't take my insurance. How is one suppose to pay for such service which I am not sure would even be the solution as many who have visited still has all the symptoms. I hope we find answers soon

All of the symptoms that everyone described is what I experienced and I'm on my 11th of 12 week prescription of Vitamin D.  I feel a little better, but not fully.  I'm barely at the minimum range of 30.  I had seen a rheumatologist, neurologist, another neurologist that specializes in MS, made several visits to urgent care, took multiple blood tests, CAT Scan, MRI, made several other doctor's visits, on the phone many nights with the advise nurse,  chiropractor (helps the most), get massages (helped relax the muscle tension), and acupuncture (helped somewhat with pain).  It has dug a hole in my pocket book, but the pain was initially unbearable.  Vitamin D deficient appears to be the culprit, although none of the doctors can really pinpoint the underlying cause of all the symptoms.  All my problems started when diagnosed with the deficiency.  It put in perspective why I was having so many digestive problems.  Every time my muscles acted up it would trigger stomach problems.  I was diagnosed with IBS because of it.  Had a stomach infection that took four treatments to get rid of and it depleted my Vitamin D.  I also was diagnosed with paresthesia and experienced numbness branching out as far as my gum line.  There were days I could not eat but one small meal a day because the inflammation  was too bad and my blood pressure would get high.  I was told it would take a long time to get better.

Hello. I'm in the same boat. for the past 6 months, I've experienced twitching,Burning sensation under skin, muscle spasm, and perceived muscle weakness. I've seen several nueros and doctors. Got a blood test ran, and my Vitamin D was at 16.8 L which is very low, considering the normal range is 30.0-100.0.. I haven't started taking anything yet. My obvious fear was ALS or MS. Could low Vitamin D cause my problems. I can feel the twitching everywhere, including my Face and tongue...

I'm on my second week of 50,000 vitamin D twice a week after finding my level to be 9.  I've had pretty significant fatigue for a while, but nothing else.  But now all of a sudden I am having tingling in both of my feet.  Is this a normal side effect to the high dose?  I did have this same thing happen a couple of years ago when I tried the high dose vitamin D and it went away after stopping it (not taking the full course of it).  I just don't see this side effect listed anywhere.  I just want to get my vitamin D level back to where it should be!  Thanks.
