Is taking high level of vitamin d causes any side effect?

A lady very knowledgeable lady named Mrs.D can answer this question. The subject of vitamines has been discussed before with her. I believe she knows what link to send you to for this information. take care, ginnie

Most people are quite low in Vit D it has been found recently in US and other countries. This has lead to screening for it at many
doctor's offices.

The general rule for supplementation is 2000IU Vit D3 for those who have not had testing.

OR

1000IU D3 daily for every 10 pts needed to raise to a target result. This is an average rule, as some people may need more.

D2 from RX version is not very efficient and is no longer recommended by the experts.

Here is a good thread with 2 videos on it explaining in detail:

The only serious consequence of very high supplements, is a possible hypercalcemia (elevated calcium) in the blood. But this is not common and can be prevented by not using high dose calcium supplements when Vit D is given in high dose. Vit D will enhance your absorption of calcium from foods eaten.

Right now I am taking 5000iu soft gel and 1000iu chewable. I can also take 1000iu chewable everyday than take 5000iu soft gel every other day. What do you think?

Did you read my original post from this link

I still have not gotten a diagnostic yet and I am in the process of seeing other specialist. I still think the problem is in my left nerve and probably in the area of my neck. I have also posted some test result including my mri. Your input suggestion is very welcome.

Without Vit D testing...it is impossible to know what you really need.

Without testing 2000IU D3 is considered safe for most people.

I can't say beyond that.

This is an update of my condition

After waiting for a while to get my insurance straight, I finally went to see another spine specialist. He told me even if he runs a lot other tests, he will not find something wrong.

He told me I have a "Somatization Disorder"

After I have done some research about "Somatization Disorder" I am still not convinced.

While I don't surfer headache, but something I feel something in the left pad of my head. As I stated from the original post, I also feel nerve pulsing on the left side of my forehead. So I requested to have a cat scan. Here is going to do some spinal cord nerve injection test to determine if that may be caused by the nerve that travel to my neck. Since I did not have that problem, before I had any neck pain, i usually feel that it is a problem in my neck. I also suffer from tinnitus in the left ear.

So I am still searching and will keep you posted.
