Hi! I have just been diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency after having some odd symptoms. I have been given a prescription and have also foolishly looked online! Having now frightened myself after reading about side effects , I wonder if anyone could please reassure me in regards to their own experience of this problem?

Apologies if I have missed a description, but what are the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency?

Did those symptoms disappear after a course of tablets?

Be careful with Vit B12 supplements. If your body cannot make Vit B12 you have Pernicious Anaemia, which does have nasty symptoms and IS serious. A GP should run tests for you.

sorry - not 'make', but 'absorb' B12.

I can't believe the difference..had my 40,000 units on Tuesday..(and then for next six Tuesdays) my joint swellings are almost gone..I feel.. different..can't explain it..just feel human again...my b12 injections always perk me up a bit...but the vitamin D..it's incredible...BUT feeling annoyed that I wasn't tested before now because have been feeling so yuk!?!
