Low vitamin D and what i noticed
Hey all! About 2.5 weeks ago I got my bloodwork back for a lot of things related to my symptoms. For reference, over a period of months I noticed growing fatigue, feeling hot all the time (plus hot flashes when having sex), low libido, my depression was continuing to get worse and worse, and it felt like I was going to pass out all the time.
The doctor tested my testosterone, thyroid, a bunch of vitamins and minerals, and checked my heart, liver and kidney function. The only thing that came back abnormal was my vitamin D.
I was at 10 mg/ml. He prescribed me 2,000 units a day (Im 125 lbs). I know it takes time for symptoms to fully go away, however im on day 14 of supplementing, and I just realized everything is noticeably better. Im no longer hot all the time, have the most energy ive had in a longggg time, my libido has gone up drastically, no more brain fog, and I find myself in such a happy mood now.
Its crazy that this one deficiency was the cause of so many frustrating problems in my health and day to day life.
I will continue to supplement going forward, even once im 100% again.
