Vitamin D deficiency symptoms
With all the sites out there that have info on Vitamin D, their just doesn't seem to be one that has all the symptoms that can accompany vitamin d deficiency. I'm going to list my symptoms, so that others may have some insight, in layman's terms. I hope anyone else with the deficiency would also post theirs.
Wow, Gary, sorry to hear about your Gallbladder, but glad it's out. I know I have gallstones from a previous CT scan, but haven't had any issues with jaundice or feeling bad after eating. I did have an experience with Palpitations the other night again and noticed my blood pressure was elevated, so i went to the ER, which I dread doing. Honestly, who wants to sit and wait in a room when you're feeling like crap? They did and EKG, Chest x-ray and drew some blood. Turns out I have hypothyroidism. I've had this tested within the past couple of years, but it looks like it finally caught up to me. The ER doctor gave me a prescription for a low dose of Synthroid (because my hypothyroidism is not very severe). I got into my doctors office the very next morning and she redid the prescription from 30 days to 60 and I will go back at that point to have labs drawn to check my TSH again. I have a very good conversation with my Nurse Practioner, who encouraged me to continue taking 1000-2000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day and the synthroid. Did I mention that I had my Vitmain D checked after finishing the prescription last Tuesday and my level went from 20.9 to 36.2??? YAY! She said once I get my thryoid level where it needs to be, I will feel a lot better...memory and energy wise. I can't wait! This forum has been such a source of comfort for me.

Had my gb baldder out two weeks ago. Met with my surgeon yesterday. It was diseased and abnormal (no stones). Surgeon said a bad gb can defitniely lead to VDD def due to malabsoption of fat due to bad gb (Vit D being a fat soluable vit). Something to think about, especially if you are having RUQ pain, which I was. Bad gb can also affect your liver and pancreas, which helps process vit and minerals. Been two weeks and starting to feel better. Doc said it takes approx 8 weeks to get to the new you after having gb removed.
Interesting we have a lot of the same symptoms. I had a HIDA scan done for gallbladder issues and my gastro has recommended that my gallbladder come out. Have read that gallbladder issues can cause Vit D deficiency. You may want to look into it. Ive also had digestive issues, so hopefully getting my gallbladder out will take care of all my issues.
Welcome to the forum. Feel free to ask questions and definitely look at past posts to get an idea of what to expect during this recovery phase. (granted the timeline is different for everyone)
And, best to you for a speedy recovery!! I began at a level of 20 and I'm now at a level of 49. I do feel much improved, although some of my problems are not due to D deficiency. Once you achieve your goal, you'll want to consider taking D3 in gel cap form with a fat or at meal times. Good luck.
