So I’ve been on Vitamin D for around four weeks. And I’ve noticed a massive difference. My Fatigue is much less and I’ve more energy. I didn’t take it for 3 days and I shot down hill at a rate of knots and all because my poor mums been suffering too. So I gave her my pills and forgot to buy more. But i started them again and I’m going back in the right direction again. I’ve had a poor few days recently but that’s because of a bit of stress. But I’d absolutely recommend that anyone gives it a try and I’m also taking a Vit “All the B’s” supplement.
Everything’s trial and error and unless you try it then you won’t know. Hope this helps.
Beware too much Vitamin D is not good. It is stored in the body. So lack of Vitamin D is a problem and needs to be dealt with. Too much is a problem and so care needs to be taken.
Vitamin D is important for the immune system not just for bones.
Thanks John im aware of this too and am having bloods done next month to check that I’m not overdoing it. Bear in mind that I live in Scotland and the weathers shit!! So if it is just vitamin D that can make me feel much better I shit you not I’m staying on it!! 😂👍
I am on 20,000 IU of oral vitamin D about once a week. In winter 20,000 IU of oral vitamin D twice a week. Particularly if I may have a cold/flu coming on. I spend a lot of my time inside.
Hi John Smith , how much is too much vit d3 do you think ? I'm not sure, i think i'm better on 5000 than 1000. But i dont want to overdo it and cause any other problems . Thanks KT
I was on 1000 ius of d3 for about a year as the rheumatologist said when he diagnosed my fibro , because i have osteomyalcia. Recently i upped it to 5,000 ius because i heard somewhere that one needed more . I have noticed that pain in general is better ie. Lumbago after gardening , neck pain , knee pain etc etc. I'm exhausted but i'm battling a urine infection , been on anti biotics for ten days now, thats painful. But i must be doing something right ! ! I do take cider vinegar though every day , i believe that is said to help with pain , among other things , i also take the b vits, and glucosamine and chondritin with msm and greenlipped mussel capsules ( from Amazon ). I've been on those for years and soon notice it, like you, if i stop for a while.
I try to get all the minerals too, not least potassium in this hot weather. I take electrolyte powder . Oh and i nearly forgot , i take cbd oil spray three or four times a day. also gingko biloba for energy . You can see i believe in natural remedies where possible. I have a few pain killing drugs for fibro but prefer to use the cbd oil.
It all costs a fortune of course and I'm on the old age pension. No holiday this year i think , but then what price comparative health. ? I have a , disability car , and can visit friends and gardens ngs, and national trust etc , nearby. I'm also near Cambridge and can get a motorised buggy there. I have a motorised buggy which takes me into the town , market twice a week. So on good days i can do these things and go to my allotment , I've had made into a little garden with fruit trees , for shade.
I havent really anything to complain of. I'm in sheltered housing , a lovely flat , just about make ends meet , i never really wanted to be wealthy. So although i'm feeling a bit grumpy at the mo with this infection i should thank God that i have everything i need and i do.
I forgot i try to have turmeric and black pepper and ginger , they also help with pain. Anti inflamatory. I hope all the above helps you . You could of course try them one by one , as you say its all triall and error , and what helps one may not help another. KT
