is 50,000 iu of vitamin d once a week harmful to you - female age 58

I hope so because I have been prescribed the same dosage. I am 68 and have kidney disease and diabetes, and have been taking this dosage for about a year, with no adverse effects. I am aware of the concerns about too much vit. D, and have been sensitive to any suspected symptoms such as tingling in the mouth, nausea, abdominal pain.

My doctor just gave me a prescription for 50,000 IU to be taken once per week.  When I had my blook tested for Vitamin D the normal range is between 30 - 100 but I ranked at a mere 12.  The 50,000 IU per week is not toxic and so far does not have any side effects. I have read that a deficiency in Vitamin D will also make you feel more fatigued and have joint/muscle pain.  I am hoping this prescription helps with that.

I too have just been given a prescription for 50,000 iu's of D 2x a week. I am delighted!  I have very low thyroid, high blood pressure, constant fatique, and endless body aches and pains. On my first day of taking the Vit D, my aches and pains are about 50% reduced. So I am very hopeful that it is  only going to get better.  I only use a suncreen on my face that is in my skin care, and I only use a sunscreen on my body after about being at the beach for some time to avoid a burn.  I think it is SO wrong for people to use so much sun screen...it has to be toxic to your body and we need the sunshine to keep us healthy.  Living up in the state of WA is a challenge to get sun to keep healthy.

Gosh it is good to hear someone else talk about this vitamin d deficiency issue. i was just diagnosed with that  and prscribed 50,000 of vitamin day once a week.  I have been living with these symptoms for so long and had on idea what was wrong with me.  I m 58 years old also. I truly hopes this helps some of the fatigue and muscle pain that I have been having. Hope it works for you too!  Good luck!
