3 Summers ago both Mum and I had low VitD symptoms.  We don't live together.  We both garden daily.  We both felt very tired.  I would do 20 mins. weeding and then sit.  Without moving at all, I simply couldn't.  For 2 hours.  I went for a blood test and levels came back low even though I am outside a lot.  I rarely wear sun screen.  Capsules on prescription lifted levels 4 us both.

I've had no problems since but recognise what the symptoms might be.

Hi Tc

Lots of information on Vitamin D deficiency and how to correct it online- it's probably worth having a read.
There's also a great support group on FB- with research based information.
Wait and see what your GP prescribes, hopefully daily dosing of Vitamin D3 as this is more effective than a weekly dose.
Good luck

I had daily capsules for 3 months

Thanks salad and CLKD.  I'm glad it's being delivered. Hopefully Thursday. Xx

Ladies. I feel bad for talking about something which feels so trivial when other ladies here are worried about cancer treatment.   My anxiety just gets the better of me sometimes .  when I have lots of stress which we all do right now I dont know why but I seem to focus my panic on the smaller things. Maybe because it's easier than the real issues.

So I thank you all for taking time to reply but I feel I should apologise for making a thread about myself over something so minor.

Hiya ladies.  Just took delivery of my vit d.

D3 20,000 Iu. One a day for 2 weeks then once a week for 4 weeks then it says to continue maintenance with highest strength otc.

Think it's a pretty big dose . I've been increasingly tired and cant stop sleeping and now got backache.  So hopefully this will sort me out.  Xxx
