I used to take massive doses of iron supplements, I remember the symptoms. The same symptoms occur when I eat something with iron in it, like a ribeye steak, the symptoms are severe, a chicken breast, the symptoms are less severe.This is what I was warning you about previously. You are jumping to conclusions about cause and effect that you have no evidence for.
If you feel bad after you take vitamin D, just report that you feel bad. That's all you can safely conclude. The rest, where you attribute symptoms to specific mechanisms and interactions with other nutrients, is speculation, and when you start taking action based on that speculation, you get yourself into trouble.
It is not that uncommon for people to feel bad taking vitamin D (or any other supplement for that matter). Oral ingestion is not that way we are meant to absorb vitamin D, and the process and transport of the vitamin is totally different compared to receiving it from sunlight.
How did you receive our advice to cease all supplementation beyond your testosterone? Was that not feasible?
It could very well be the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. When I eat something with iron in it, it causes ED and physical weakness that fades the longer I go without eating and when I eat again, rinse, and repeat.
The vitamin D helps absorb iron, the higher the vitamin D level, the higher the iron absorption. Then there is the fact that beta blockers are associated with anemia and now that I feel like the withdrawal off beta blocker is finished, I feel like I’m absorbing more iron than when I was on the beta blocker.
Vitamin D -> Iron -> hemoglobin -> hematocrit = symptoms.
Lowering my vitamin D and vitamin C together brings a great improvement to my erections, but only temporary. Raising the vitamin D and vitamin C brings about the same improvements, but only temporary.
I did stop the 90 my vitamin C and I ran into severe problems midday. I took the missed vitamin C, and the symptoms declined quickly. I did the same thing with the vitamin D and had the same outcome.
Yesterday I took 600 IU vitamin D, I felt good for most of the day and then the vitamin D deficiency symptoms started creeping in, I took more vitamin D, and the symptoms decline quickly.
The vitamin D still trigger symptoms I can’t identify, lots of abdominal cramping, and what appears to be hives, red marks on arms, headaches, feeling high.
These red marks have now turned into brown permanent freckles and corns on my feet.
