Are you adjusting your vitamin D intake to account for the Fall/Winter months of limited sunlight exposure?

[andrewBwinter]

I'm still reeling from the symptoms and over supplementing iron helps with the excessive urination and diarrhea/IBS and nausea. This doesn't come without a price, rashes on ankles and a sudden but short term increase in glucose if I go too far.

I found a study on the relationship between iron and vitamin D supplements, too much vitamin D supplements can actually greatly affect iron absorption in the gut. Two weeks after starting vitamin D supplements, symptoms started to appear after two weeks of symptom relief.

My ferritin levels has almost doubled (43->79) since stopping vitamin D supplements.

While taking iron pills won't cause vitamin D deficiency, the opposite can occur. Tell your doctor of any concerns about vitamin D and iron supplements.

I watched Morley Robins again yesterday and his philosophy on excessive Vitamin D makes sense.

Thanks for this. I’m now intrigued about iron levels going up after stopping vitamin D.
You found most of this out from trial and error did you

I’m now intrigued about iron levels going up after stopping vitamin D.

I must I have an extreme sensitivity to vitamin D, my levels have dropped from 74 measured on March 4 and have dropped 26 points and is now 48 and symptoms are still present but declining.

There seems to be a connection between my declining vitamin D levels and increasing ferritin levels.

Isn't it possible it's from something else then?

 

[Systemlord]

Isn't it possible it's from something else then?

No, because these symptoms I have now were much stronger four weeks ago. Any time I consume anything with vitamin D in it, I experienced a worsening of the symptoms that have been declining over the past couple of weeks.

I get the same symptoms whether I eat something with vitamin D in it or vitamin D supplement itself.

I got these symptoms 2 weeks ago after consuming a glass 2 glasses of almond milk, which has 100 iu vitamin D.

Gotcha. What were all your symptoms?

 

[Systemlord]

Gotcha. What were all your symptoms?

Muscles cramps, kidney pain, excess urination, dehydration, heart arrhythmia, nausea, testicular pain, bone pain and erectile dysfunction upon consuming the vitamin D.

I mistakenly ate mushrooms yesterday and these symptoms returned, but not as bad as two weeks ago when drinking the almond milk which has a lot more vitamin D in it.

Interestingly I just obliterated at tooth and need a crown eating something that wasn't that hard.

Maybe a coincidence, maybe not.

I see. I've had a lot of that too...hmmm...

I over-respond to everything, not limited to vitamin D.

Same here. I wonder what that is...

 

[Systemlord]

If you can only imagine what happens if I consume alcohol or caffeine, lol!

 

[Systemlord]

It's a very efficient liver which breaks down all these compounds.

Do you hyperrespond to b vitamins too?

 

[Systemlord]

Do you hyperrespond to b vitamins too?

I've tried b vitamins before. I can't handle even a little magnesium supplement.

What happens when you take magnesium? Have you had pregnenolone or cortisol checked?

 

[Systemlord]

What happens when you take magnesium?

I get nausea which can last for days, taking 1/4 of a capsule of 250mg.

Have you had pregnenolone or cortisol checked?

I've taken pregnenolone before and had racing heart rate for 8 hours straight, been a while since I tested cortisol.

The last couple of days I've noticed big reduction in symptoms I associate with vitamin D toxicity and my erections have become much more active in the last 3 days.

This is strange considering vitamin D is supposed to help with erections. It seems everyday there's more activity down there.

That means even at 48, this is too high a vitamin D level for me.

Can I ask why we are taking Vitamin D3?

• Issues with iron buildup in the tissue
• If we are taking exogenous T then natural shuts down so raising T naturally seems redundant
• D interferes with Mg

D is essential for immune function.

I had a snack at work today and has a very bad reaction, turns out it had a lot of calcium in it. Instant heart arrhythmia, mental confusion, nausea and fatigue. I had to go home early.

I did have to start adding vitamin D back into my diet because all the symptoms came back the last 3-4 days.

I can however eat mushrooms without much issue, only has 1mg calcium compared to 336mg in the snack.
