Hi Kelli,

When I was first diagnosed deficient in vitamin D, my levels were at a miserable 7.8. It took a few weeks before I began to feel a physical improvement in my symptoms of pain, achiness, and squishy bones. This seemed very quick to be.

However, it took several months before my vitamin D levels were risen into a more low-normal range. I was taking prescription 50,000IU weekly. I now take 10,000IU daily in over-the-counter supplemental capsules (slightly different than the prescription). Finally, my levels are definitely in a much higher range.

How are you feeling now? Have you continued to feel improvements?
