As I know, low calcium can cause muscle spasm, but my calcium and all other vitamins minerals are normal, except vitamin d is low.

I have been experiencing tingling, numbness for the last two years. I thought it was just poor blood circulation so I would just go and exercise and eventually it would go away. Plus it gave me a good excuse to exercise anyway due to me wanting to lose weight. However, in the back of my mind I new something was not right so eventually after all that time I went to see a doctor and got a physical.  Blood test were ran but everything was ok. I was so happy but still my symptoms was still there. So it was not to a couple of weeks ago when I went to go see a new doctor which this was a primary doctor she ordered me to take what is called a Boston heart diagnostics. I never had this test done before but I recommend it to every human being on this planet. Its like you taking your car in for a diagnostic test but you are getting it for your entire body and they give you your own personal book of everything that is going right or wrong with your body. This test alone will prevent illness, disease, and even death.  A lot of doctors for some reason don't even think to run this particular test. This test enabled me to get down to the problem at hand which was vitamin d, 25-oh to be exact. My level was a 22 which a normal range should be between 30-100 this is way to low and considered abnormal.  The doctor immediately gave me a prescription for vitamin D 50,000 units. I take one green soft gel once a week for 4 weeks.  What is really crazy is that all the symptoms I was having,  tingling, numbness, fatigue, tiredness, poor energy was due to the fact of something so simple as vitamin D. Wow I could have been cured a long time ago.. I can't express how important it is to see a  doctor. If this is not cured, it can cause at least 17 different types of cancer, ms, Lyme disease,  and all other illnesses including depression. If any doctor is reading this please start checking your patients for this because it could very well become an epedimic if it has not already. Thanks everyone for sharing.

I just got diagnosed with MS.  I was vitamin D deficient.  Since I've started taking 10,000 IU of D3 a day for the past couple of weeks, I can say that I've had more energy and my spasms are less frequent.  I just take over the counter D3 supplement.  Get the gelcaps, they're better than the powder.  Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to all kinds of autoimmune disorders.  Even healthy people should be taking 1,000 IU/day.  That's what I took before I got diagnosed and I was still low.

Hey everyone, I have the same problems, a twitching that started at the eye, then went to the rest of my body, along with bone pain in my wrists. I just got diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency. After reading a lot of scientific literature, I found out that vitamin D3 has a longer half life in your body. D3 also gets converted to the active form better in your body. So if the MD gives you D2 ask for D3. If the MD can't get you D3 ask how much you should take, and buy it at your local grocery store or pharmacy. I bought a bottle for less than 10 dollars on amazon.
