Vitamin D Levels

[wallflower]

After a super-high dose of 50K IU to boost my levels and 2000 IU a day, I was *still* low, so now I'm taking 4000 IU a day.

I am another, tested a few weeks ago. My doctor said half of Europe is deficient in Vitamin D. Partly, it's because people wear sunscreen so much now. For women that's often as a matter of course in make up or moisturiser, whatever the weather's like. But you should still wear sunscreen when it's sunny.

I'm deficient and supplement every day. It was so bad at one point that I was having all sorts of body aches.

I heard that vitamin D deficiency symptoms can mimic Fibro symptoms, and that a lot of people are misdiagnosed with Fibro because doctors don't do simple bloodwork to check vitamin D levels. It's sad that there are people out there who don't know that simply increasing vitamin d intake can/will make them feel better.
