50,000 or 5000?
High doses of vitamins D is toxic. I think you should be consulting a doctor and having some blood tests before asking any advice from us. GO TO YOUR DOCTOR OR URGENT CARE! You have some very serious symptoms. Yellow stool? I had this when I was 10 in the hospital and almost dead after my body shut down from dehydration and sickness. Go get some blood tests man!

50.000 ui
I very scared
I take 5000 recommended by my doctor but my cholesterol is high. The new recommendations have changed and most doctors are saying 5000 is good ⌠but not 50,000!

I believe it has nothing to do with calcium or parathyroid hormone. I have hypermobile articulations like douglasmich and even Konflict.

You need to see a doctor. None of us are medically educated.

i read your post man, first of all, chill tf out⌠eat a lot of veggies and fat and water⌠you will be fine.
use liquid vitamin D, K, A on skin only, not internal, never surpass 10kIU of vitamin D, your body only absorbs 10% of vitamin from skin, so if you use 50k IU of liquid drops on skin, you will absorb 5kIU if you rub it in, vitamin K/A is needed as co factors to vitamin D, you probably are just low on vitamin K, get liquid K2, A, and D, take only a few drops of K on skin, only 5k IU of A is really needed, hereâs a good source of K2: https://www.healthnatura.com/TrueK2-s/1874.htm they sell D and A also
never take any supplement internal ever again, only take those above, use cronometer to hit your vitamin needs, also eat calcium (not a supplement), when you take D, itâs letting your body absorb calcium, if you dont eat calcium, your body will suck it out of your bones, which is probably what is happening here
vit D should be between 50-60 ideally, check it with bloodwork at yo docta

Yea letâs pat him on the back and tell him it will be ok while giving him medical advice and suggestions on herbs to take. Vit D is toxic at high doses. If you overdose on vitamins or supplements the last thing you need to do is get on a forum and ask medical advice from any of us.

50.000Ui is way too much. I had very low vitamin D. Took 500 to 1000 in a day for a month and it went back to normal range. I donât think Vitamin D is a good thing to play with. I am not a doctor, but even doctors say crazy things nowadays. IMO, people should not prescribe themselves more than 500 UI.
- Donât panic
- Limit your calcium intake for a while
- Check your kidneys and gallbladder for stones after a while
- Donât take high dosages of anything

Whatâs the interaction between vitamin D and calcium?

According to Wikipedia " An excess of vitamin D causes abnormally high blood concentrations of calcium which can cause overcalcification of the bones, soft tissues, heart, kidneysâŚ
Hypervitaminosis D symptoms appear several months after excessive doses of vitamin D are administered. In almost every case, a low-calcium diet combined with corticosteroid drugs will allow for a full recovery within a month. It is possible that some of the symptoms of vitamin D toxicity are actually due to vitamin K depletion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis_D

Sorry, I could have googled it myself, thanks for sharing.
Has your state improved?
Iâm pssd guy who crashed once after 5.000 vitamind and several times after sun bath. Though i recovered everytime after 2-4 weeks to baseline.
Back then low calcium diet was helping.
I wonder what can cause such vitamin d sensitivity?

I have taken 20,000 a day for weeks on end. I have low D in bloods. I am also a comparatively mild case of PFS. I have been prescribed a short dose of 50,000iu years ago by a doc to improve my Vit D levels in the middle of winter (pre PFS). I will now rethink how much I take. I kind of dont think D3 is your issue. So many people on here take it⌠but there are so many variations of symptoms and issues that anything is possible. Also, I believe @Konflict ran into trouble with a vitamin B that was methylated or something like that. @axolotl would know his story better.

I started having terrible insomnia and worsening of PFS symptoms after taking methylcobalamin and SAMe. Started searching through all of the PFS/PAS/PSSD forums looking for a similar experience and found that @douglasmich and @Konflict both posted on solvePFS that something similar happened around the same time they took methylcobalamin (methylated B-12).
@adrian, There was a PAS patient I was in contact with years ago that said he had a severe worsening of sexual symptoms and after taking huge doses of D3. He also said the D3 triggered development of gynecomastia. I canât remember the amount he took, but he was genuinely terrified by what it did to him.

Hi friend, no improved I only worsedâŚ
SAMe will really boost your dopamine a lot which causes the insomnia. I like it because of the energy boost but yea it does keep me up. Messes up my gut sometimes if I eat too soon after. I usually take it mondays if I go out on the weekend. Great for mood
