Hi All,
I've just had some blood test results back and my doctor has flagged that my vitamin D levels are extremely low, 26nmol/L (healthy range 75-200). I have not been tested for Vit D levels before.
I have reason to believe 26nmol/L is probably much higher than my average over the last few years as I have spent a fair amount of time in the sun in the weeks prior to this test.
My Doctor has prescribed 90 days of 3,200IU capsules, then re-test.
-I am not well versed in what Vitamin D actually does, but I have been suffering with a variety of cognitive and mood symptoms (*including severe fatigue, but do not think I actually have CFS).. I'm interested in information and personal experiences of benefits (if any) I can expect to see by correcting my vitamin D levels?
- Having started the supplements 2 days ago, I have had extremely intense nightmares each night. Is this normal, and any tips on avoiding!?
-I seem to feel very on-edge and anhedonic shortly after taking them, it makes it impossible to relax. It seems to take most of the day to gradually decrease to a manageable level... again any advice welcome to reduce this!
-any other Vitamin D advice or stories welcome!
Thanks
