Can my Vitamin D deficiency be the cause of my tics and uncontrollably movement?
I been going to he doctor sense July which is when my tics started but anyways i've been tested and they said everything was fine with my brain and blood but my vitamin d in tack is low. So i was wondering could that be the problem? Cause i do have uncontrollably movement, tremors and i do have verbal tics. Like yelling or saying something really loud.

Calcium cannot absorb without vitamin D. Calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia) symptoms include muscle spasms, tics, tremors. An ionized calcium test is the most accurate to pick up a true deficiency. Calcium – 1000mg a day. Optimal vitamin D levels – 80ng/ml or 200nmol/l. Vitamin D is cruical to activate the immune system, and clinical trials showed vitamin D with calcium reduced cancer rates by 77%. 5000IU of vitamin D a day is recommended. Magnesium is needed for calcium assimulation and a co-factor for vitamin D. Magnesium deficiency also causes tremors and muscle spasms. 500mg of magnesium a day. As your yelling/being more vocal symptoms occured at the same time, it may well be from these deficiencies.

and it’s not touretts? Oy, vey. That sucks. I don’t know for sure, but I think you should totally give it a shot. Increasing vitamin D improves mood and makes you feel healthier. Maybe your issues will respond, maybe they won’t. Either way, it’s worth picking up some suppliments
