I’m 27, white female, no drugs, rarely drink, no smoke.

I have had a constant Vitamin D deficiency since my early teens.

Taking vitamin D will make it go back up temporarily but it makes me incredibly sick and goes down when I get off of it.

When on vitamin D supplements; Severe Migraine everyday, extreme constipation, extreme fatigue, sore/swollen throat, fevers, vision issues, tinnitus, numbness, even worse bone/joint pain, kidney pain, kidney stones, my face will just go numb, chest pain, heart palpitations, easily bruised, extreme leg cramps, random muscle spasms(to the point of waking me up if I’m sleeping) and cognitive issues. I started blacking out when I stood up or seeing random flashing lights or floating lights. If I stood up to fast I would taste blood or get a “bloody” nose.

There was even days where I literally could not wake up no matter how much I try otherwise. I couldn’t even force myself up to go to the bathroom. I was aware but couldn’t move.

Some part that are hazy because I honestly can’t recall really as my memory from that time is just weird in some places but I was finding soft spots or what felt like bruising appear on my head.

I tested vitamin D deficient when I was 13, 15, 18, 25 and yet again two weeks ago for reference. My “normal” being 10ng/mL.

I was able to “live” again when I stopped taking vitamin D supplements and felt so much better. I still had certain symptoms but for the most part they weren’t as life challenging or aggressive. I mostly figured at the time it was just something I had to live with and work on my life style choice’s.

I know it’s not healthy to have a low vitamin D but it feels so much worse being on supplements for me. I have no issues taking supplements if that’s really the only solution. I just want to look into other options before I full commit to that. I’m currently on D1 and D2 as of a week.

I’m very active, 8-10k steps a day, and make sure to include food high in vitamin D in my diet and I drink vitamin D fortified juice. I eat a regular diet but I can’t say I’m a huge meat eater. I also walk my dog an hour every day so I am getting tons of sunlight.

A while ago I started having these full limp/body involuntary twitches and spasms, speech issues, lazy foot, really bad nerve shocks(every step I take), chest pain, fever(with no temperature increase), kidney pain, heart palpitations, and numbness in my legs, and arms. Some times my legs will just have hot flashes and feel hot and cold burning with every movement. It became hard and exhausting to move and I was tired all the time from doing so.

When I say numb for my legs/arms I mean, just numb at best and at worse I completely lose feeling and it’s either a thick log or a wet noodle that comes back to life through pins and needles.

I’m mostly asking if it could be something else and if it really can be as simple as my body just doesn’t absorb vitamin D properly.

Hey, my sister is graduating from a master’s program and my father is hitting the big 50 so we would like to go out for a nice meal to celebrate in late May. 7 people, the only request is no Italian. Price would probably be in the $80-$100 PP range, but there is probably wiggle room for a little more if need be. I would love to hear this group’s recommendations!
