Hi. Im so confused as im doing my own research. I haven't been told much other than my vitamin D level is seriously low ?? 7.5 and I had to ask for that. Can anyone tell me in layman's terms how bad that is? Im suffering with pain, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, eye ache, muscle knots/cramps, bubble feeling up my legs (had that a long time) and cant bare the light and much more. I already have underactive thyroids and rheumatoid and my b12 levels are high (don't recall level but often under 250/200 I did receive b12 but changed docs and they didn't continue), ive had these for over 10year so when my symptoms first appeared I thought I was having a bad flare up, but noticed it wasn't just my joints. My rheumatologist noticed my colouring and my pain was more wide spread than just my joints and thought it was more than my rheumatoid and she was right, but nothing explained.. Im on colecalciferol 3,200 1 per day for mth at first then go back for bloods next week. I get sun when its out and I eat sources of vit D, so why on earth am I so low? I really don't understand
I suffer back pain also for few year now and scan showed T1 weighted and T1, axial T1weighted and T2 weighted through discs, subtle focal kyphotic change at the T11-12, scattered occasional haemangiomas in T9, L3, L4 and S1 vertebral bodies (but lower back scan showed more but they didn’t tell me which vertebras on lower spine), desiccation of the thoracic and lumbar discs, small schmorls nodes adjacent to T11-12 and T10-11 discs, disc bulge at T11-12, facetal changes L3-4 and L4-5 and hematomas on my liver (unsure how many or how big) back pain is unbearable but no treatment given, now wondering is this part of vitamin D?
