Sorry to be annoying but I'm one unlucky person who took what the GP said in vitamin D3 and had a very severe reaction, it totally ruined 2015 for me.
My levels were about 38 so I was give 40000iu a week, that's not a typo, but it seems those in power say this OK, not for me though within a few hours I reacted but drs said it was just my anxiety. I was shaking, tingling feet and hands, skin felt sore like sunburn, lost my appetite, sense of taste, got the runs, obviously lost loads of weight, I got bilateral tinnitus, hyperacusis too.
I was not told I needed anything else, I should have been told we need vitamin K2 and magensium as vitamin D3 depletes magnesium in the brain and lowers blood sugar.
I learnt all this from a US site. By that time I had had 4 lots of 40000iu and my level was 97.
I made formal complaint to the makers and its all documented in my gp notes.
I told 4 drs my symptoms before realising it was not in my head it was real. I should have been monitored as I am a low blood sugar person, I am quite small too, a lightweight where drugs are concerned and have autoimmune disease which means my body over reacts.
I am trying to raise awareness of the bad aspects of large does of Vitamin D3 in some people.
