Vitamin D levels

[Daveman]

CCconfusious had this doubt!

Interesting to take into consideration, at least conceptually, that summer sun has a lot to do with Vitamin D levels. Here in Chile we;re entering into fall, and I definitly feel the difference!

[Vandemolen]

My Vitamin D level is 16. Should be at least 80. Had a special pill from the GP but that doesn't seem to work. So I booked 2 holidays for Asia and Africa. Enough sun and vitamin D.

I have spent the last year in a hot, sunny climate and my POIS symptoms have certainly become less problematic in that time period. There are many other variables concerning my POIS, but the vitamin D link is definitely an interesting one.

We're coming upon fall here and I can guarrantee you that summer sun was a great releif to POIS!

[Ccconfucius]

mine is 17ng/dl and should at least be 32 ng/dl, i was prompted to do mine becauseof vandemolen and guthrie's results.
what i was thinking is if i can bring up my vitamin D and loose weight, maybe i can reduce my recovery days.
vitamin d supposedly has something to do autoimmunity problems.

There's a lot of information to be found there.

In addition to that you can go to your doctor to get test done or  if you are in america
you can go through websites like
prepaidlab.com to order a vitamind d test, go to local labcorp office and get blood drawn, this way you can avoid going to doctor and cost not to bad.
Lifeextension also does test.
or you can through zrt labs for home testing.

Interesting...I never thought about my vitamin D levels.  I take a multivitamin every day, but that may not be enough as there are times each week when I don't leave the house for DAYS.  But I do spend almost every Saturday all day in the sun, so maybe that makes up for it?

    i find it very depressing, that all my blood tests and organ checks are fine.    and it is not easy to get out and do all of this, i hope so much that they find something wrong with me but they never do and when i leave the doctors office i feel like crying, i walk home n see kids enjoying life and couples and people living their life and i am trying so hard evey single day for so many years just to be like them, just to feel human. it really sucks. im 20 yearsn old and in havent been able to live my life yet.

[Daveman]

I know it doesn't help much, but this happens a lot with most rare disorders.

A lot of times, you are your own best doctor.  $1000 worth of tests and doctors visits couldn't explain my neuropathy.  One day of changing to just eating salads showed me exactly what was wrong--I was diabetic.  Doctor's tests showed I was diabetic, but not enough to have neuropathy--well, I do and the tests never found it.

[UnderstandingPois]

    yes, im done suffering, the only thing that has completely taken away my pois was medication, so im going to see a phyciatrist again, i dont care what happens, atleast i will feel better temporarly. i remember bieng on siezure medication and even that i felt great because i actually felt something other than pois. -nothing you know.

has anyone tried slow release melatonin, because people with pois complain that they don get refreshed sleep, and or they have insomnia. could be lacking proper rest and fatiguing our brain with arousil.

i took melatonin for 1 month and suddenly i felt really mad for no reason and my feelings and emotions started becoming stronger, coming back, ...................... i have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, n i feel so worn out still when i wake up.

just some thoughts n ideas.

Did you check your blood test in POIS or Out of POIS?

I always have an O the day before blood tests and it always underlline an important allergic reaction !

[sameer7777]

well melatonin didn't work for me , i couldn't sleep , yes pois really disturb my sleep .
i never get fresh wakeup in the morning ........
any way to sleep i take clonozepam 1 mg daily .........

i took zyrtec for my nostrils blockage and took 0.5 mg of clonozepam , it keeps me sleep for more , but never ever refresh wake ups ....

[Samir]

Interesting, I forgot about the sleep issues.  I find that I need an extra hour to feel 85% as good as I normally would.  pois isn't allowing my body to repair things completely when I sleep.

[UnderstandingPois]

yes i know, usually people with bad insomnia, will say that every hour you stay up life gets duller, you know and i feel like that all the time, i wake up and i dont feel like i even slept.

[etcosp]

I had a blood test a few days ago, which demonstrated I have a vitamin D deficiency.

Looking on this forum, I found tons of similar cases but couldn't find any clear answer about whether or not this deficiency is one of the main causes of POIS for the many who have it, or if we could identify a probable cause of POIS for those profiles.
