I was taking vitamin D supplements for 2 months when i was deficient (10ng/ml) . I started getting pains and twitching and tested again and found out that its now 109ng/ml. Which according to doctor is more than normal.
I was wondering how much time it would take to make it normal if i dont take any vitamin D at all through food or supplements or sunlight? I dont have any problem except these masculer pains. I am also planning to take low calcium diet. I will talk to Doctor about this.

Everyone is individual - so the D level may go down quickly or if you are fortunate - slowly ! What dose were you taking ? Maybe a good idea to reduce to a maintenance dose to keep you topped up if appropriate !
..don't forget to also take VitK2 - so the additional Calcium that is produced ends up in the right place - your teeth and bones. Not in your bloodstream
Are you referring to B12 ? Depends how low you are. Jarrow Methylcobalamin do lozenges in 1000mcg and 5000mcg. Keep them under the tongue until they dissolve. Also take a GOOD B complex to keep all the"B''s in balance. One with Folic Acid which works with the B12 in the body to hold it there longer....
My endo was very happy with my D3 level at 104. To much D usually results in headache, stomach pains, nausea and suppressed appetite because of calcium build up. Doesn't sound like your symptoms.
Yeah, thats what i am thinking. I have only muscle pain thats all. Even no doctor has been able to find out whats the problem except i had Vitamin D deficiency which is fine now.Everything in blood test was normal.
Arvindkrao, 50ng/ml is optimal, 109ng/ml is in the possibly toxic range. As a rule of thumb levels halve every 60 days when you stop supplementing. There's no need to change diet or avoid sunlight.
The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause poor appetite, nausea and vomiting. Weakness, frequent urination and kidney problems also may occur. Treatment includes the stopping of excessive vitamin D intake.
Yes for me according to my age it should be 100 at max. but it is toxic. But doctor said not to worry. if it halves every 60 days as you say then it should come in normal range within a week or two at max. Thats seems hopeful
