I have questions about Vitamin D Deficiency?


Hi, I was just diagnosed with Vitamin D Deficiency, and the doctor has put me on pills. I'm not sure how much the dose is, but I just started them.

Okay, so a couple of months ago, I started to really feel bad. My joints and back started hurting, and my energy level was down. I have manic depression, and I started having even more suicidal thoughts and less happy times. I also started throwing up a lot.

This just started recently, though - every time I drink anything except water, I have a gag reflex, and sometimes I even throw up, depending on when I last ate. Is that a symptom of Vitamin D Deficiency?

Also, can Vitamin D Deficiency impair weight loss? About three months ago, I'd lost 20lbs. But ever since all this has began, I haven't lost a pound, (in fact, I gained 9lbs back), no matter how well I watch what I eat.

Thank you for your time!
I'm in the sun at least four hours a day. I own horses, and I also own dogs.

  4. You need to read the papers that come with the medication. It should say what you should and shouldn’t experience. But in addition to that, because you’ve been having more suicidal thoughts, you should stop the medication, go back and see your doctor and tell him what side effects you’re having. Your body isn’t responding well to the medication.
