Vitamin D Deficency~a list of symptoms and illnesses

I have vitamin D deficiency. It is not related to sun lack. Rather, it is due to small tumors of the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium and phosphorus. The is a close relationship between these minerals and vitamin D.

In addition to taking the vitamin, one should, if found deficient, also have calcium, phosphorus, and PTH blood levels drawn. The PTH determines the amount of hormone that is secreted by the parathyroid gland. PTH tumors, which are generally benign, are becoming increasingly diagnosed. Make your medical provider do their work!

For me, in addition to the pain, I was so tired that I thought I was gonna lay down and die. I've never felt so tired in my life.

I will need to have my tumors removed, but will wait until my sister succombs to her cancer. There is a newer procedure, called MIPs (minimally invasive parathyroidectomy), which I will undergo. As the name indicates, there will be less slashing of my neck HEH ... and almost no post operative complications. Again, do the research yourself, make the system, including insurance, work for you.
