		<description>I have been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and recently had an episode of severe, constant muscle twitches/spasms, and muscle/joint/bone pain all over the body accompanied with first onset of hypertension.  Was also diagnosed with menieres disease. The culmination of all these symptoms as once was a very frightening experience for me.  I can understand the distress that the muscle spasms, fatigue, and pain cause.  My dr. started me on vitamin D3 supplement so i am looking forward to experiencing the decrease in these particular symptoms.  Thanks for your comment Catherine, it was encouraging to me.</description>

		<description>I too agree with Kelly. Dont be giving absolute advice like that, if you have not done all the research...(kimberly) 
I too have a vitamin D deficiency of just 22 and i was experiencing excrutiating pain in lower back pelvis area. With all joints hurting as well especially the knees. I also think its becuase i am somewhat overweight and weak in muscles and bones doesnt help matters either. But i have been prescribled 50,000 units twice a week and have taken it for two weeks and feel a great deal better than i have felt in ages.</description>

		<description>I woke up one morning with excruciating pains in my thumb joints.  I had been experiencing body aches and pains and tiredness for a period of time and did not know what it was until my dr. gave me a blood test and found that I had a vit-d defiency, she said that it was the lowest that she had ever seen (8) I was given 50,000units of vitamin d  hydroxy to be taken for three months and I took 2000mg of citrical calcium with d-3 daily and got plenty of sunshine, I was tested again in 6 months and my level was up to 33. I feel better now and I try to get sunshine and stay on my supplements, although I have cut back to about 1,000mg a day, because I think that the calcuim was interfering with my duiretics that I am taking for my blood pressure. It is very important to have blood test so common health problems can be diagnosed and treated before they become major problems.</description>

		<description>With all due respect Kimberly, you&#039;re are wrong -- pain is one of the common symptoms of vitamin d deficiency.  

Check Pubmed...there are dozens of studies linking vitamin d-3 deficiency with a variety of different types of pain, including muscular, bone, and joint pain.

Quoting just one study from Johns Hopkins: &quot;In one case, months after treatment and subsequent improvement of vitamin D status and pain, the vitamin D status again declined and the pain recurred. The pain again resolved with vitamin D replacement and improvement of levels.&quot;

Arch Intern Med. 1991 Aug;151(8):1662-4.

And here&#039;s another one:

&quot;Initial assessment involved 360 patients (90% women and 10% men) attending spinal and internal medicine clinics over a 6-year period who had experienced low back pain that had no obvious cause for more than 6 months. The patients ranged in age from 15 to 52 years. 

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the contribution of vitamin D deficiency as a cause for idiopathic chronic low back pain, to find a simple and sensitive test for screening patients with low back pain for vitamin D deficiency, and to determine the correlation between the vitamin deficiency and pain. METHODS: A biochemical assay of serum calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D level was performed before and after treatment with vitamin D supplements. 

RESULTS: Findings showed that 83% of the study patients (n = 299) had an abnormally low level of vitamin D before treatment with vitamin D supplements. After treatment, clinical improvement in symptoms was seen in all the groups that had a low level of vitamin D, and in 95% of all the patients (n = 341). 

CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D deficiency is a major contributor to chronic low back pain in areas where vitamin D deficiency is endemic. Screening for vitamin D deficiency and treatment with supplements should be mandatory in this setting.&quot;

Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2003 Jan 15;28(2):177-9.

and there are many, many more like these two.

I hope you&#039;ll do more studying before you officially become a dietitian and give out such incorrect advice.</description>

		<description>Hello,
Vitamin D deficiency will not cause pain.  It can make your muscles weaker, and along with decreased calcium your bones may weaken but it will not be the cause of joint pain, lower leg pain, or pelvis pain.  Almost everyone is deficent in Vitamin D, its just the latest craze in the medical feild so Doctors are starting to check it more now.  you can start on a reload does of 50,000 IU weekly for 4-8 weeks then switch to that monthly or take 2000 IU over the counter daily.
It is sagfe to take with pregancy because its just a high dose of the vitamin you get from food and sun.  fortified foods like milk will have vitamin, and getting out in the sun as much as possible will help too.
