Vitamin D Deficiency recovery time??

I'm recovering from a Vitamin D deficiency. My levels (accordiong to my endo) were 16 (im assuming ng/ml).. I was supplementing with 6-8,000 IU of D3 daily. I was told that my serum levels have gotten up to 70, but unfortunately I'm still exhibiting a lot of the same symptoms.. Brain Fog, Fatigue, LOW T (no libido), proximal muscle fatigue, etc...I'm trying to find out how long it's going to take for me to start feeling better again.. Vitamin D deficiency is a nightmare!

So you lost 22lbs? I am deficient in Vitamin D and tried taking 50,000 units but could not I have panic attacks and dizziness on occasion I no longer do the fun stuff with the kids and I miss that. I have started to eat cereal fortified with Vit D and OJ with Vit D and going out in the sun I'm hoping my levels are going up but I really need to try a lower dose than 50,000 units. I have been going up and down in weight but mostly down I have been depressed lately have had an mri and found another issue which probably was causing my headaches its called Chiari malformation but now I'm thinking I need to take this VDD a little more seriously.
