You have the sun in pill form and here you are still being retarded

Yes, get more vitamin D. Actually learned a bit about the skeletal system today in MA class. You can take vitamins, eat foods high in vitamin D or....

Go outside.

Also look rheumatoid arthritis. My new fear.

op here youre funny. i could probably get some more sun and will try, but i work and am a college student am usually only free at night. the thing is though even in people with low amounts of sun exposure i dont think readings this low are normal. could be wrong.

i got a blood test for that and it was supposedly negative, but things like that are rarely 100% accurate. it would make sense if it ended up being the cause. i have a rheumatologist apointment tuesday.

i was given a vitamin d2 pill to take twice a week, at a dose of 50,000 ui, but have been reading it can take months to balance out and d2 is somehow a shitty form of d3.

Could be they just want to double check with a rheumatologist. Where did they test exactly? Like your marrow or arteries/veins? Are all your joints being affected by this? You said about your wrists and knee, what's the rest? Just interested.

Yea, it takes time for your body to work everything out. Ask your doctor if they'd recommend a nother vitamin or a multivitamin, they probably have some god tier prescription multivitamins.

Firstly thanks for the response and sorry that I didnt notice this sooner.

They just took a blood test, i think they were looking for something in the blood associated with inflammation if i recall, something that would be present in high amounts if rheumatoid (sp?) arthritis was the issue. They said I had a slightly high amount but within normal parameters. They said if its early onset it might be detectable in time.

Right now my left and right wrists are cracking and aching constantly, my right knee has hurt for the last few years and an mri revealed "jumpers knee" which is a tendonitis of one of the knees tendons.

my shoulders click and pop during workouts but nothing painful as of yet. the elbow is only the left one, and that im getting an mri on soon to try and figure out the source of inflammation during activity.

If I have sex with my girlfriend and even grip her too hard during it my arm will be stiff and i will lose 5 or 10% rom bending it for 10 or 15 minutes after. I stopped workout out altogether when i noticed i couldnt extend my arm fully after pullup sets months back.

I had an allergic reaction to rocephin in my teens and spent 2 weeks in an isolated ward because my white bloods cell count dropped to nil and all my skin peeled off. I was in a coma the entire time so it was a breeze for me though.

This was over a decade ago and my skin looks normal now but I am slightly more pale and have had 2 skin cancer scares since. I also produce very little vitamin D whether I get enough sun or not. I had joint problems and super duper depression when it was discovered.

Take 5000 iu of vitamin D3 in the morning and 100mg of magnesium glycinate before bed. Problem solved.

ive been looking into the difference between d2 and d3 and am trying to figure out what to tell a doctor to covince them to switch my perscription to the latter. i want to heal asap and even using my thimbs to type this is difficult atm.

im glad to hear youve made what sounds to be a recovery anon. what i will say is having weird body issues has made me appreciate the smaller things in life more and think about my future.

i think i had heard magnesium is also recomended for tendonitis, what did they perscribe it to you for? did they explain the mechanism behind how it would help you?

>>40893507
my mistake i initially read that as them perscribing you that list for your joints. was the coma medically induced or a result of shock?

>>40893545
d3 is over the counter medication you dont need a presecription to buy it.

Word of advice, if you've been very deficient in vitamin D for a long period of time and start taking supplements, your bones are going to hurt like a bitch anywhere from a few weeks to six months.

t. someone who's vitamin D number was 7

Do you think I should just stop taking the d2 mega dose they gave me and switch to the d3? Ive been on the fence about it.

I was at 15 which was twice your level. There seems to be a lot of discrpency over what constitutes a seriously bad level. anything sub 10 is a big deal though.Do you have any medical problems other than that?

I started taking 2500IU vitamin D (liquid drops) with every meal, 3 times a day for a total of 7500UI because of shin splints. My pain went away my joints stopped cracking. I'd use to have wrist pain after benching heavy but not anymore. This shit is like magic, even my lifts and endurance went up. Vitamin D also helps with the absorption of calcium and magnesium.

Get Vitamin D3 in liquid drops form and take no more than 10 000 IU a day. When your problems go away, take 5000 IU a day. Dont believe the recommended dosage of 1000 IU that's written everywhere. You need to consume between 10 000 and 40 000 IU a day for 3 months to notice toxicity.
