Vitamin D deficient ? Anyone?
Hi All!
How do you get your Vitamin D? I am vitamin D deficient and cannot take suppliments.They just destroy my stomach! So the only way for me to get it is from tanning. Living in the midwest I do not have much sunshine during the winter months. My neuro told me that some crazy number like 60% of all americans are somewhat Vit D deficient especially in the winter. In the summer we cake on sunscreen so we do not get enough Vitamin D to last us through the winter months.Vitamin D deficiency can cause everything from neurological issues to depression. The winter blues do actually exist folks and its a lack of vitamin d.
Take Care, Theresa

Vitimin D is a scallywag.
It likes the sunshine. BUT 15 minutes sat outside even without sun will give you a boost..
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means you don't need it every day because any of the vitamin your body doesn't need immediately is stored for future use.
Most people should be able to get the amount they need by eating a varied and balanced diet and by getting some sun. But if you decide to take vitamin D supplements it's a good idea not to take too much because this could be harmful.
Good food sources are oily fish and eggs. Other food sources include fortified foods such as margarine, breakfast cereals and powdered milk.

for vitamins I take D3 (2,000 I.U.) daily. yet I'm in the low end of normal. Since my weird sx started my doctor taken a lot blood, he tested the vitamin D and B12 along with the usual stuff. even before my vitamin D3 & B12 dropped, I was having sx on my right side only. I'm getting those deficient taken care of, but I don't think that's the problem for me. if it was IMO I'd have the symptoms on both sides.
last year, I failed (right side only) my PCP's neurological exam for my physical and my right eye wasn't normal either. now days, the sx are back and came in the same order (they leave in reverse) some symptoms are the same, some are worse, and some are new.
I hope you find the answer as to what is wrong and hopefully it can be fixed.

dear jibby,
forgive me if i have already asked you this, but have you been tested for vitamin B12 deficiency? maybe ask your neuro to do both D & B12 next time you see him/her since both can cause neuro-type problems??
just a thought.

I take lots of supplements and cod liver oil and lots of milk/cheese. I sort of wonder if I'm over doing the vit D but given that we're apparently more likely to be deficient than not (and mega doses are advised by some physicians/researchers) I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
