This is in the general section because I think it is important as it seems like almost all of us have low vitD.
I just got back my test, after spending 3 hours in the summer noon sun every week (I became really darker) and taking Vit D supplement, and being exposed to light from walking during the day…
what did I get? an 30 ng/ml, which is the lower bound.
I am curious to know if ANYONE has HIGH vitamin D and has PFS, if so, please tell us your symptoms. THANKS
I had my vitamin D tested on July 9, 2014 (approximately 7.5 months after quitting) and it was at 93 (Ref 76 - 250). I am not sure on the units of measurement but I was considered to have sufficient levels, even though they were on the lower end of the scale. I was not taking any vit D at the time, but I had been taking about 3000 - 5000 iu’s per day for several months and had only quit about a week or two before the test so perhaps that is why it came up normal.
check again?
Guys, this is important. It is HUGE if in fact ALL of us have low vitD, that would be the only consistent result.
Maybe we developed some tolerance to that instead.
I remember few years back, while on Fin, I started developing some PFS symptoms, did not think much about and the doc prescribed Vit D, I felt MUCH better within weeks. He tested me and my results turned normal.
After the proper crash I had, I never managed to bring my levels up more than an inch…
low vit d is about hyperparathyroidism and also triggers hypothyroidism all in one failure
I just wanted to say that within the first week of taking propecia, which was towards the end of september I had some speculation about sunbathing.
Within the first 2 days of the 5 day period (during which the pill stopped metabolizing) when the weather was very cold, dark and cloudy I felt the most extreme depression, anxiety and panic attacks one possibly could. On the third day somewhere around midday it started to get sunny and when had the rays hit me I felt what I could describe as an euphoria and almost cryingly started laughing from deep inside as if the sun would cure my problems. Totally shook me.
I was taking a low dose of vitamin d aswell but I did not feel the same thing with the supplements…
I never wrote about this in my story post, as of many other things…
I have not tested for Vit D yet.
