Vitamin D supplement and urine problem

[JimCreative]

In January 2015 I was found with vitamin D level of about 28.8. My doctor prescribed me drops and suggested me to take 20 drops daily. However right from the beginning while I was sleeping at night I had severe pain in my male organ and felt the urge to pass urine. Unfortunately the urine could not come with full pressure and I had to live with too much of discomfort for several hours. I then reduced the dose to half and ultimately I started skipping my dose. I tried a couple of times more to resume the original dose but had the same result. I also felt significant pressure on my kidneys as well


Now today I have received my new report which shows the vitamin D level as 32.1 and calcium as 9.4mg/dl

My doctor has prescribed me tablets with 1mcg One-Alpha and osteocare. Not sure if it will work. Anyone can you please help me to understand why it's like that and how can I get the level corrected

(It is also pertinent to note that I also have chronic problem of post nasal dripping, sore muscles of calves and shins, which all of sudden disappear the day I started using vitamin D..)

What was the amount of Vitamin D you were ingesting exactly?

In order to gain measurable benefits, you would need to supplement with Vitamin D3 and at least 10 000 IU of it per day.

10 000 IU of D3 is how much your skin can generate in 10 to 15 mins of sun exposure (that is if you expose a large portion of the skin to the sun without sunscreen such as the back in combination with legs and arms).

Vitamin D2 is a synthetic form of the hormone in question and as such is not really good at providing same medical benefits like D3.

I have never faced this issue. But for some people it seems difficult enough. I believe that our body makes vitamin D on its own as YardBull told. And how do you feel after 1mcg One-Alpha or you haven't check it out yet?

I have been told before that vitamin D can cause problems with kidneys. From what you said the vitamin D might not be being absorbed properly in your system. I would find out what the new pills he prescribed would do. They may help the problem.

The body makes vitamin D on its own, if you can get out in the sun and expose some skin for 20 minutes or so on a daily basis.  That would be a natural way to gain vitamin D, if you need to avoid supplements due to your sensitivity.
