It may be related to hashimoto's as they are both autoimmune. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-635302 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 19:21:05 +0000 ladybee 635302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: is that related to vitamin D? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-635300 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 19:19:57 +0000 MrsH 635300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I don't know about constricting to my heart but yes my fingers turn various colors when cold and they hurt and turn bright red when they warm up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-635233 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:47:32 +0000 MrsRcCar 635233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have low vitamin d3. I take 5000/iu. I just recently had my levels checked, still low but better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-635209 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:38:18 +0000 ladybee 635209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I have Raynaud's phenomenon where the blood is constricted to my heart when I'm cold and my hands, feet, nose, and lips turn purple plus my chest hurts. Is that the same thing you have? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-635202 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:33:22 +0000 MrsH 635202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: thanks. My dr also told me about other autoimmune disorders as well. I also have raynaud's. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-635121 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:51:17 +0000 anbanan15 635121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Here is one of the articles I read, but I'm having a hard time finding the others: <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21751884" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21751884</a>. </p> <p>I'm not sure how much credibility there is behind this, but I find this video interesting and here is his website that also has some interesting information: <a href="http://www.drjoealaimo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.drjoealaimo.com/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX08cfVpRPM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX08cfVpRPM</a></p> <p>I particularly find the article about Hashi's leading to other autoimmune disease interesting. There was a mama on one of my food allergy groups that had it and breastfed on an extreme TED and not too long after stopping found out she had MS. So scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-634523 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:36:56 +0000 MrsH 634523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: no worries :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-634489 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:32:38 +0000 anbanan15 634489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Sorry! I am so bad with names and remembering stuff like that, even in real life lol. I will look for them when I get on a real computer, hopefully this evening and send them to you. </p> <p>Endo just called and it's 12 more weekss of weekly 50000 IU and another round of blood work. It took 6 months last time to get it up 10 points, so I can only imagine how long to raise it from 14. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-634336 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:57:25 +0000 MrsH 634336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: I know - we talked about it before. I have it too.</p> <p>Would love to see the studies do you have a link? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-632109 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:31:34 +0000 marionberry 632109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was diagnosed Vitamin D insufficient by my RE a few months ago and he put me on 2000 a day. I haven't been retested since though and I also have a mild case of hypothyroidism. Plus I live in Oregon, and like Canada, I think most of us are Vit D deficient due to lack of sunshine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-631977 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:39:39 +0000 sera_87 631977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of Canada is vit d deficient. The gov actually told health care to stop testing for it lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-631958 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:32:09 +0000 lil owl 631958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if that helps... I'm in Europe, so we probably have different medication.... I have something that has similar effects as Hashimoto's and the „regular“ vitamin D pills didn't work... so my doc put me on Vitamin D-oil. I had a high dosage for like 2 weeks and am now on 1500. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-630056 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:10:54 +0000 anbanan15 630056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I have Hashimoto's. I have read some research articles that suggested when you are hypothyroid your body does not absorb the d as well and levels should be kept closer to 50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-630055 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:10:47 +0000 Mrs.Someone 630055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was diagnosed as low a few years ago and haven't been tested after that. I was told to take 5000/day, but later the same doc told me that was too much and I should take 2000 (!?). Anyway, later my acupuncturist told me that 5000/day for the winter is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-630010 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:50:32 +0000 bunnylove08 630010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on 2k right now I have yet to have my levels taken after having DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-629749 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:44:46 +0000 lavender 629749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take 1000 a day and that seems enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-629682 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:42:34 +0000 LittleFox 629682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a deficiency and take a vitamin for it, but never had it re-tested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-vitamin-d-deficiency#post-629625 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:02:56 +0000 Arden 629625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found out mine is a little low.

After 3 months it only went up to 22 and in another 3 months to 30 at which point she changed me to a daily regime of 2000 IU D3. That was in September...so from September until now it dropped like crazy!! I know it is typical for people's D to drop over the winter months, but that much and while taking a supplement? I have not talked to my endo yet, just saw the results online. </p> <p>Anyone else deal with this? Was it determined that you did not respond to supplementation? </p>
