3 days ago started Truvada, started feeling sideeffects

It's just 3 days i've started taking Truvada. And i am already started feeling sideeffects like-

1) numbness in legs, hands and arms (today in kitchen container fell from my hand)
2) headache
3) mainly dizziness
4) tiredness, feeling weak...like i will fall now...

Are these normal, moreover i'm pregnant and have high cholesterol didn't felt before taking Truvada?
Is Truvada making me worse or strengthening?
Should i report this to Dr.?

some info on vit d3 and pregnancy (only d3, d2 is synthetic and not good), daily is the best and most natural way to take.big single doses gave wrosening of chronic conditions, they make unstable levels and kientics of d3

vitd25oh ranges are supposed to be 30-100ng/ml but latest research found 50-60ng/ml to be the closest to our ancestors living outside and optimal

there s a fraud on vit d prescribing or suggesting useless doses and nver checking blood levels before and after taking vit d....so you can see the fraud very clear.it is obviously useless to take it without checking levels plus anybody can respond different

since 1000iu is useless i suggest you check your levels and if low go for 6000iu daily and recheck by 4 weeks

another good example of the fraud is the use of iu instead of mg or mcg like all other vit/minerals.4000iu is 100mcg

drink about 1.5-2l of water per day also if you are not already doing it

these may also be signs of immune activation to clear the high hbvdna, if they keep like this talk to doctor about it

also did you check your vit d levels?these are very important for the baby, ltest research reported dose for preganancy of vit d3 6000iu daily and target vitd25oh blood levels around 50-60ng/ml

optimum vit d levels will help antiviral response and maybe lessen those symptoms too
