400IU will do nothing. Also it depends on the form you take. If it is D2
(ergocalciferol) it will be even less effective.
Very deficient patients are usually given 50,000 IU weekly for a few months, retested, and typically 2000 to 4000 IU daily (preferably D3 cholecalciferol).
Some patients take 10,000 IU daily. I myself use 2,000 IU D3 daily.
I don't think low Vit D causes PN, but it does seem to relate to chronic pain issues in general and appear in those who have chronic pain syndromes.

Hi thanks for all your replies, the doctor has prescribed me vitamin d3 400iu a day for 2 months. Should I take more then? I have a found a website that says low levels can cause Paresthesia. I am hoping that maybe that is what I have....
