@Systemlord I really hope you get everything sorted out and wish you well, but sometimes I think you get in your own head too much. The mind can be a very powerful thing, which is why placebos can work and people can go through borderline miraculous healings using nothing but their mind. But with that power it can also make people sick and/or symptomatic. That along with what I would say may be a case of you associating things that aren’t related lead you to a lot of anxiety and illlness. For example you say you only produce earwax when your vitamin d is at a very specific level. Here are some of the other things you’ve claimed in this thread:
- eating steak spikes your glucose, and that eating anything with iron results in terrible symptoms of excess iron
- symptoms of vitamin d deficiency which included immune system going haywire(whatever that means) and sneezing spells
- “extreme sensitivity to salt” whatever that means that emerged suddenly after a third blood donation for whatever reason
- said that 400 ius of vitamin d resulted in this:
This amount of vitamin D causes strange symptoms. Feeling high mentally, lower back pain, strange taste in mouth, muscle pain and aches, head fullness, kind of like an headache, tooth and jaw sensations.
The 400 IU vitamin D made me a little sleepy and a little weakness. Vitamin D supplements always murders any erections that I got going on. Vitamin D shuts down my erections.
I have this abdominal pain that's constant and I strongly believe it's the higher end hemoglobin and hematocrit now that my testosterone levels are a mismatch for these blood parameters.
My last blood donation, for a couple of days my glucose was 97 fasting, I felt great, erections near perfect and workouts were amazing which only lasted for a few days. This and lowering the vitamin D and C brings about a temporary feeling amazing.
Here's an update. Basically starting vitamin D supplementation when vitamin K is low will produce symptoms similar to vitamin D toxicity, too much calcium in the blood and only one place to go, through the kidneys and into the urine.
After a 4-5 days of supplementing vitamin K I'm really starting to see big changes! Urination is returning to normal. My muscles are looking fuller and harder than they ever were on TRT. My sleep last night, I can't remember the last time I slept so well.
I eat a lot of chicken lately, more than 3 lbs per day. I have a feeling vitamin K was low way back years ago because my muscles only start growing once I start vitamin K and in years past I would have periods in the day where my muscles would get firm and then get soft, get firm and get soft.
My skin also looks smoother, younger looking. The wrinkles that had been there on my forearms for years is gone.
I'm now trying to dial in my vitamin D dosage, I got my vitamin K and magnesium dosage dialed in. It seems 420 mg magnesium together with 100 mcg vitamin K with 2000 IU D3 causes my right legs to turn red, and swell up. The left leg is a little red but not really an issue.
I strongly feel like the magnesium and vitamin D doses are too high, and since they work together, I believe their both driving this leg problem, maybe through calcium absorption being too high.
More vitamin K makes my glucose rise and I feel much worse. No matter what, whenever I get vitamin D into the 30-40 range, the red marks start appearing on my ankles.
These red marks will appear on my forehead if I lower my vitamin K dosage. That's why I believe it's calcium related.
I’m going to be doing another 24 hour calcium urine test and also test parathyroid hormone and calcium soon
I would wake up in the morning and take my 2000 units of vitamin D and my testicles would shrink up and my feet would become cold.. The need to urinate is excessive. (I would love to know by what mechanism the vitamin d immediately made your balls shrink).
There’s more going on here than just short CAG repeats, I have Tourette’s syndrome or an overactive central nervous system, ADHD and my central nervous system is extremely sensitive.
I have read that people with Tourette’s syndrome have higher testosterone than the general population, but not in my case.
My skin turns orange when my vitamin C levels get too high and I don’t feel too well when it’s starting to fall.
Elevated calcium excretion through the urine and all the classic symptoms of parathyroidism. My shoulders hurt like hell, especially when I urinate. My urine is very dark, urinary calcium is elevated and it’s difficult to urinate in the morning.
The stars are aligning for me at this point, only for the rug to be taken out from underneath me at the end of the day. I feel as if I have vitamin D deficiency at the end of the day and this was the same experience on TRT. If go back to 1800 and vitamin toxicity symptoms restart, only not as bad as when on TRT.
I take my vitamin D and within minutes I feel weak in the legs which passes after some time.
My skin on my arms turns orange if I take more than 100 mg vitamin C for 3-4 consecutive days.
It seems like my response to vitamin D is highly variable and changing day to day. I can no longer tolerate anything near 1000 IU. For two months prior I have been taking between 1800 and 2000 and always felt like it wasn’t enough.
Above 1200 units of vitamin D I feel like I’m a hyper absorbing nutrients and I feel like somebody drugged me after eating and it last for several hours.
I still have an issue going on with vitamin D. My levels are continuing to decline, 24 last time I checked while taking 1200 IU, my teeth are turning yellow, and I’m not sure what my issues are. If I take more vitamin D, I get horrible tension headaches.
My urine is very cloudy and very dark, My semen is yellow or brown. The only time it was white is when I overdosed on magnesium and I was dehydrated. My erections were amazing if only briefly. I have lots of muscle spasms, sometimes excruciatingly painful. I can’t seem to ever balance the vitamin D, vitamin K, and magnesium. Taking any of these separately or together causes problems.
. I feel like the vitamin K is treating the underlying medical problem and feel somewhat strange taking it.
I feel even stranger taking the magnesium. Makes me super sleepy, fatigued, and burning pains throughout my body.
Not taking any of them causes even worse problems.
Damn, I’m iron deficient again. I’ve been feeling different the last month. It as if I lost my glycemic control overnight and became freezing cold, developed a chronic cough in my veins got really small.
Now that I start started iron supplements, my veins are big, cough is disappearing, and glycemic control is coming back and I’m no longer freezing cold.
Now my ferritin is over the range. Truly I’m the Ironman. I have symptoms. Elevated heart rate from taking vitamin D @1200 units and if I drop into a deficiency my heart rate drops to the 60’s. I have a constant chronic cough that won’t go away, weakness and feeling cold,
All of these symptoms are triggered from taking the vitamin D. The chronic cough, coldness and weakness remain even if my vitamin D drops low.
When I take vitamin K, it doesn’t feel like the right move. I always feel weird when I take it, same with magnesium. Vitamin K is always at the bottom of the range. Magnesium suppresses my breathing
High ferritin can cause inflammation in the airways. vitamin D always causes abdominal cramping and muscle spasms. Early December I lost a degree of glycemic control overnight and then these symptoms started.
My erections have always been negatively affected going above a vitamin D level of 25. I only produce earwax when my vitamin D levels are at this level. My erectile function takes a shit when I push my levels near 30.
And that’s just a small fraction of the roller coaster you’ve been on. I kind of get the impression that the harder you chase things the worse it gets, and at least some of that is due to you being in your own head too much.
