Warning signs, risks of Vitamin D deficiency

Our body produces it when we're exposed to the sun, but doctors say the majority of us are probably lacking Vitamin D. A newly-released study warns that Vitamin D deficiency may increase your risk of getting sick with COVID-19. 13 Action News Reporter Kelsey McFarland has a look at the warning signs and risks.

Just found out from my new doctor after years of fatigue, depression, anxiety, nausea, hair loss memory issues, weakness I am severely vitamin D deficient. I'm so thankful to find out this info after seeing several doctors

[kanwalimran]

Mostly they don’t even do a vitamin d test unless you request. Not everyone knows that they should request for it

I’ve been battling severe depression for the past 10+ years and thought it was because of my autoimmune disease. Today my new doctor told me I have the lowest vitamin D levels shes seen in 30+ years and I almost cried tears of joy because now I can finally get better! 🥳

Why did they have that news reporter outside on like the windiest day possible lmfao 🤣

[chopsieflores]

I just came back with a VD level of 7 two days. Two years of tests and no one tested VitD. It's been hellish. Medical community's lack of knowledge.

[nurhali]

I had all the symptoms but nothing was close to my mental state, i was going crazy because of the panic attacks I couldn’t take it anymore it tortured me for the whole day everyday, too painful to live with couldn’t sleep nor breathe, but as soon as I knew it was vitamin D and started going out in the sun and taking supplements limmediately I saw the different little by little it disappeared and I could breathe and live again thank god

Ps: when I got lazy and didn’t go that much to the sun I felt that the nightmare was creeping in, so be careful with yourself and give it what you need.

Today I was diagnosed also with lack of vitamin D. They prescribed me 20.000 once a week. My symptoms were fatigue, feeling of tingling, numbness on my hands and feet and also a bit of pain on the legs.

Was she filming that in the middle of a hurricane?!

I’ve always had absorption issues. I was recently at 17 ng/ml. No energy whatsoever and lots of hair loss. People don’t realize just how severe a vitamin d deficiency can be.
Doc prescribed me 50, 000 vit D2 which honestly didn’t make me feel any different.

A naturopath once recommended this liquid vitamin D so I decided to try that one again. It works much better.
It also contains vitamin k which makes the D easier to absorb. I recommend liquid vitamin d.
If anyone is interested it’s Bio-DK-Mulsion by Biotics research. They also have one without vitamin K.

I have been feeling so tired, weak & sleepy lately. I used to love food but I have completely lost my appetite. I got a blood test last week & it showed that my Vitamin D was very very low. Doctor told me to take 2 Vitamins once a week instead of 1. That is how low it is. I'm feeling weak even typing this.

I was sleeping 20-24 hours STRAIGHT when I could, and on occasion even 28-30. All of which I wouldnt wake up to go to the bathroom, eat or anything. Even after all that sleep, I never woke up feeling refreshed. I thought I had a sleeping disorder, when it turned out, after a blood test, I had next to no vitamin d in my body

[ericadams]

The only incidents I have heard of of overdosing on on Vitamin D was when a pill designed to be taken once a week was taken daily by mistake, and once where a manufacturer made a batch suppliments with a overdose in by mistake.

[Zafir]

Sure let’s go outside in the middle of a hurricane to casually talk about Vitamin D deficiency.

[shirleyac]

I had symptoms for 10 yrs . Doctor found nothing . I solved it myself and it’s going to take quite some time to recover . My life was hell as I’m FT working .
