I had a dramatic decrease in my joint pain when starting vit d, I was shocked and so pleased
How much did you take per day to see a difference?
but you didn't say how much you took daily. That is really the question at hand!
Years ago, I was waking up in the wee hours of the morning with bone pain. I also had muscle spasms and was very fatigued. Went to the doctor and he checked my vitamin D levels, which results showed level 6. After taking prescription strength D3 for 4 months, the symptoms went away. Peace and Blessings!🙏🏾❤️
Glad you got better. Gives me hope that I can heal as well. I was just diagnosed with a deficiency a week ago. I've had minor symptoms since 2016 and have been suffering since November 2020.
How much vitamin D is prescription strength?

How old are you ?

I am a huge proponent of vitamin D (4000 IU/daily), but the numerous types of chronic pain I've endured are now nearly nonexistent by eating a KETO diet. The elimination of carbs, grains, processed foods and sugar have made an astonishing difference and have normalized my glucose levels, blood pressure and cholesterol in significant ways. It changed my life.
I had a vitamin D deficiency for 20 years, that I know of, but recently found out I had an magnesium deficiency as well. Once I started taking the magnesium, my vitamin D is in a normal range. I believe I had that deficiency since childhood. I hope this helps someone.
u can go for suppliments to maintain
How muchsgnesium do you take?
I'm 67 years old & have fibro, other probs too. Been learning more about vits/ minerals, I learn alot from listening to others also.
Same. Was also told to take magnesium and vit d. Made such a huge difference!
Neuro mag. Is the best form of magnesi for ain sleep and mood disorders.
@@valerieirvin249 take. Neuro. Mag. It's the best. There is. Three pills a day for pain insomnia and anxiety plus mood disorders. It's well worth the cost.
My husband was suffering with bone leg pain for a long time because he wouldn't go to the Doctor. It was to the point where he felt he wanted to cut his legs off! He finally went to the Dr. and he put him on vitamin D. In less than a week his pain was pretty much gone.
Interesting
Wow! That is Amazing. I was VIT d deficient and didn’t know it. Now I take it in large doses every day.
My pain took a couple years to go away, but my levels barely increased
''Less than a week''? How strange - since the body takes over a week to process the vitamin.
Curious, how much vitamin d did the Dr. put him on? Thank you.
Something must be wrong with my hearing because I keep hearing vitamin G 😆
I also hear vit G
Lmao 😂 she definitely sounds like she is saying vitamin g
Me, too!!👂
I heard it too vitamin G.
Its actually G😐

I was very deficient in vitamin D for a long time and suffered unbearable bone pain. My doc put me on 50,000units once a week. I have been taking it now for 4months and i can testify that correcting my vit D level resulted in significant reduction in bone pain. I get my levels checked every 6 wks
How is pain now? Where’s the pain
I still have some pain in both hips and legs but nothing compared to how it was before.
Interesting...
@@jkab8033 I went through the exact same thing, but after a year of issues, I was finally tested for RA. Off the charts, so now I’m on all the meds. Just Ask dr for that blood test. Insist on it 👍🏼
Sounds like my story...
50000 units of vitamin D per week per my doctor and my blood test and it is amazing my hair is growing my eyebrows are growing back. Also I have arthritis and chronic back pain and it helps probably 90%. I actually thought I had fibromyalgia because I have random pain all over my body all the time and you know taking vitamin D every week stopped that random pain. On about the 5th or 6th day of the week I start having a lot of random pain again and I know to go take my pill. Thanks for this video you're helping tons of people!!!
So you take just 1 pill of 50,000 iu per week? Can you get that over the counter or do you ned a prescription?
How long does it take for the vit d to kick in. I was on the 50000 once per week for 8 weeks, off for a couple months but it's low again & started taking the vit d again a week ago.. It helped my hair loss but not all over pain.
@@leiad1258 is 50000IU fm D2 or D3? ur magnesium must be low too. magnesium work together with Vit D to hold it & Vit D also work together with K2

I have been reading the comments and have become totally frustrated by certain individuals responses - At no time does Dr Furlan state that Vitamin D is an analgesic or has an analgesic effect. Anybody who actually has genuine chronic pain should know that it’s treatment requires a multi disciplinary approach of which addressing vitamin deficiencies is but one aspect. I wish people would actually LISTEN. I am a registered Nurse who has chronic pain from Fibromyalgia. ☮️💗🐨🇦🇺
Hi Sandra, thank you for your comment.
There are a lot of people who do not watch the whole video and start writing comments.
If they watch the whole video they would know that.
Yes as a retired LMT with fibro😉
@ Sandra As another R.N., retired/Disabled 19years due to FM & Chronic Pain, I need to respond to your comment. If WE, with these condtitions are not kind to one another and don't support each other when SO many people don't believe us or in us, then where does this leave all of the newly diagnosed with Chronic Pain & FM and all the Associated Conditions? Both men and women STILL have to struggle to have their "genuine" Chronic Pain and symptoms of Fibromyalgia get recognized by their own Healthcare Providers. And even then to be properly treated by being referred to a Pain Clinics. Some are given the diagnosis & told that they have to "live with it," because the HCP either doesn't know enough about the condition or doesn't believe in the "treatment" (aka opioids). And, often, patients, exhausted not just from the symptoms but from the struggles of trying to get answers, just accepts what's said. Others don't & keep searching. These we find right here. Or places very similar. Often exhausted & weary & not always firing on all cylinders. (Quite common with FM & CP. Nothing unkind being said here for I know Fibro Fog intimately!)
So why should they have to struggle to be accepted by one of their own? This is the one place, the ONE circle where WE cannot be judgemental, cannot be questioning, cannot ridicule. We can't KNOW another's pain. We can't LIVE another's limitations. We can only accept them, hurting, often alone in their struggle, almost always looked at by at least some family members as "faking" or "attention getting". All these people newly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain or having just found this Support Group or CZcams video after years of searching, struggling, that DON'T
know about pain treatment need from us, is some support, some answers, some referrals, and ABOVE ALL,
open acceptance.

I had pain in all my joints. Including the joints between my ribs and sternum, cervical and thoracic vertebrae, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees and feet. I also had muscle weakness and pain. It was so bad I had trouble getting up from a sitting position and great difficulty getting up from the floor . I also had a severe anxiety disorder. My NP had my vitamin D tested. I had a severe vitamin D deficiency. My NP had a bone scan done and my bone density was fine... Thank goodness. I was put on high dose vitamin D3 (50,000 IU once a week). My levels slowly went up. My pain decreased... It is now gone... My anxiety has also decreased. My naturopath wants my blood levels up to 125. It is now over 100 so I'm getting there. My pain was definitely caused by my severe vitamin D deficiency. I tested negative for autoimmune disorders.
I’m going through all of this it is very painful 😔 , how long did it take you to feel better after taking the high dose vitamin d3 ?
@@lifeasiemoni I started feeling better after a couple of weeks. My pain was still there but less. It was decreasing as my vitamin d levels slowly increased.
Yes it does
I’m fighting this now… I thought I have been dying slowly… my blood tests are always good except my doctor told me I had the lowest vitamin d he has ever seen 😞 now I have pain all over my body and have 50,000imu/ week hopefully I start feeling better
@@nlove2k Usually that once a week prescription is D2, which is inferior to D3, ... D3 is superior.
Your body can absorb the D3 faster. Because your body, while already being weak from being low in D3, is having to work harder to turn the D2 into D3.
Also, a daily dose of vitamin D3 is better than one huge dose once a week.
I was in horrible pain, hair falling out, bones easily breaking, barely able to walk, walking up just 3 steps felt like bones in legs were going to decentergrate, screamed when I washed and brushed my hair because it hurt so much to raise my arms. Once I had a shower I was exhausted and couldn't do anything else.
Found out I was very D3 deficient ... I think my level was 6 or 8.
I started taking vitamin D3, not D2 but D3 20,000 IU daily, then after 2 weeks, went down to 10,000 IU D3 daily.
Take D3 with food that has fat in it because D3 is fat soluble.
Take D3 in the beginning of your day verses the end of your day. And of course, if you can get sunshine, that's the best D3.
But in the northern hemisphere it's harder this time of the year.
I don't scream now when washing and brushing hair. Walking up stairs no longer feels like bones are going to decentergrate.
Thanks for this video. I was having severe pains in my body, bones, muscles until the right GP advised that I go for a blood test. There it was found that my Vit D content in the body was very low. Since then, I started taking Vit D supplements and feeding on food rich in Vit D like egg, fish etc. In the long run, my health was completely restored. With this video, there is more clarity and I know better now🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you Dr. Furlan. I knew the role of Vitamin D with osteoporosis but had no idea what its role is with chronic Pain. Mood does impact my pain. I will be taking Vit D. Your videos keep me informed.
Glad it was helpful!
I have severe pain from several surgical nightmares that have left me debilitated and disabled. Before all this, I was always getting sick. My pcp sent me a rheumatologist to see why I was constantly getting infections. He did my vitamin D level and it was 0. He has never seen an actual 0 before in his career he said.
My vote D level was low also but not that low.....you must have been feeling just awful?
God bless you, 🌷❤️🙏
Wow, mine was at 9. … wonder why this keeps happening?
As a dark skinned person I would say that saying that we don't get sunburn is very inaccurate.
We do burn, depending on how long we spend in the sun.
I agree that statement of saying we are not getting sunburn is misleading!! It is like some of this white ppl think we are dark skinned because we are waterproof
Today I turned 61! But I remember being in elementary school and having redness on both my thighs because of the sun. So her statement is not entirely accurate because I am speaking for myself and no one else.
CORRECT! I looked to see if anyone else made that point. Very irresponsible for a doctor to say that.
I think she should have clarified her statement to say that dark skinned people may not burn as quickly as us pasty, pale folks. At least that is what I've been told by black women I have known. I remember when I was a kid - going back 50 years or so, and we were swimming in our public pool. One of the boys was a very dark skinned black boy, very athletic, and an enthusiastic swimmer. That poor kid got sunburned so bad he had horrible scarring on his shoulders. I cried for him, it looked so painful, and he couldnt swim for quite a while. When he did come back he had painful looking pinkish areas across his shoulders and the skin was tight and puckered. It made quite an impact on me to remember him all these years later.
Wait, what?! You guys are waterproof?! 🤣 just kidding - but I had never heard that one! Made this old lady laugh.
Doctor just diagnosed me with vitamin D deficiency.for the past 1 month or so im feeling fatigue,muscleaches,boneaches,low mood,depression.now the Dr give me vitamin D supplement.I'm feeling so much better now.
I'm glad to hear that. Please follow what your doctor tells you to do.
45+ years of an autoimmune disease with constant pain. I decided to up my vitamin D and it’s made an enormous difference in how I feel! My endless depression has finally lifted!!!! I’m even happier than I e been in years!!!! Pain has lessened a great deal. Sadly it hasn’t helped my arthritis in my ankle!!!!
Look on youtube for help with ankle pain.
does vit D helps with OSA **** sleep apnea****? if not what vitamin can you guys recommend? thank in advance .
I recently released a video for ankle arthritis czcams.com/video/LLNkrejzDro/video.html
Thanks Dr. Furlan for posting an informative video about vitamin D. I suffering from lot of bone pain around my ankles, shins and knees and also have erythema nodosum (panniculitis) on my legs and hypothyroidism. I'm in pain day and night. I live in Canada and I know due to very short summer here and least exposure of sunlight causing vitamin D deficiency. On top due to COVID-19, I didn't travel anywhere. I'm taking 10,000 IU daily and notice some improvement. Please make more videos on Vitamin A, B, C, E and K deficiencies so we all know how to come over it.
I already have other videos about vitamin B12 and Vit K
I’ve taken 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily for years. Although it’s great for many things it hasn’t done anything in terms of pain.
Thanks for sharing.
Me eitherI've been extremely low in vit d, my number was 8. My doctor said "you'll likely feel much better when we get that number where it should be. I didn't feel any difference. Same pain levels same crappy feeling. But my ,evils were normal after supplementing
I totally agree
It has never helped with pai
I take 20,000 IU’s a day to control my psoriasis. So far all tests have been WNL so I. It too worried about toxicity. Yet.
Please go back and LISTEN again - Dr doesn’t say it actually has an analgesic effect.
Very useful. My vit D level was 41 and my dr said I was just a little low so my symptoms cont'd until I went to a naturopath who asked to see my blood results and imformed me about how deficient I was. Now taking vit D and feel human again..btw I live in sunny Queensland Australia!!
Happy to hear that.
I appreciate your lessons Doctor. Pls carry on.

I live in Brisbane. We get plenty of sun here. My doc told me my vitamin D level was normal. I ended up in the hospital two weeks later for a different reason. They took blood tests just 2 wks after my local doc did and they told me I was extremely low in vitamin D and B12. I thought that was strange since my doc said it was normal. I have always had severe pain throughout my whole body with osteoarthritis fibromyalgia. In the hospital for 11 days, they gave me daily shots of vitamin D and B12 and suggested to continue with 2,000 mg a day. I felt it really helped my pain. After about 4 wks my local doc told me my level was normal and told me to stop taking it. My pain started coming back with a vengeance. I will now continue to take vitamin D again. My point is don't always listen to the doc. He told me my level was normal when gm fact I was extremely low. Thank you for this video.
Nice Canadian content on vitamin D. Long term care residents are very vulnerable... no sunlight, frail but I am careful to not overdo it. I am often moving previously prescribed residents from high bolus to daily supplements. Well researched!
Thank you Rachel! Your words mean a lot to me!
I feel myself lucky that I watch your video and it helps me to understand my problems, the way you explain everything is so nice 👍 GOD BLESS YOU.
So nice of you
A knowledgeable person suggested I try to solve my extremely painful and completely debilitating Plantar Fasciitis pain by using Vit D3 + Vit K2. I tested various dose rates. Then one day I realised I had reduced foot pain. After a week more taking that combination of vitamins daily (6000IU Vit D3 + 90mcg Vit K2) my foot pain was gone. I now have been taking it for over 2yrs for the foot pain and for removing calcium from my blood. When I get that right it lowers my blood pressure which can get high. If I take more Vit D3 than 6000IU I get headaches but no other symptoms. If I get a headache I just don't take my Vits for a day or two.
I still am not sure what causes my Plantar Fasciitis but if I consume too many carbs on some days I will have foot pain in the evening and the next day until my system deals with the overload of carbs. I'm not sure yet if that is the only reason for the pain. I still have to do many tests on myself regarding carb intake. But it's a start and helps me reduce carbs to a minimum.
I can relate to that. Thanks for sharing
That explains so much. I have had plantar fasciitis in the past and it was so painful. When the pandemic hit, I started supplementing with the Zelenko protocol which includes vit. D. I have not had painful feet since! You gave me a wonderful eureka moment! Ha ha. Escaped Covid too.
Hello, try the blood types diet , its a way of eating by eliminating non compatible food, it does help , best wishes

I live in Washington state and the summers are short. I’m 58 years old and I’m a homebody and don’t go out as much as I used to. I know I’m not getting the D3 that I need and recently started taking it.
@ Bella Angelus its a good idea to have a base level of your Vitamin D3 going in when you start. Just give you your Healthcare Provider a call & ask to come in for a Lab draw for this.
I was told be a chiropractor that people living in the north need vitamin d all year. She suggested 5000. Units every day I have been doing it for year then my Dr had me tested it proscribed 50 000 unites had to have a script for that. I still take the 5000 a day.
Bella A: I'm a retired pharmacist in Seattle, so I totally understand! Low vitamin D is thought to contribute to our high rate of MS in the Pacific Northwest, too!
80% of covid patients are low in vitamin D, even more important to get your levels up.
79% of them are sick from low vitamin d only
Knowing this why I increase my vit D intake and do it regularly.
@@Om999- ridiculous comment and certainly not helpful.
@@Person-mh6xq totally true comment, I didn't want to ridicule anyone. Did you know that b12, magnesium, d vitamin, iron deficiency can lead to any kind of infections, not to mention covid. Non of those people infected check their vitamin status. Maybe rare ones. So it's definitely helpful comment, if you are able to pay, go and make those tests b12, d, iron and magnesium you can start taking straight away no need for test. A yes b9 or folic acid very important. Good luck

Who else is taking vitamin D while listening to this video 🙋♀️
I was on the verge of being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis….luckily, I had to get a second opinion as my first consultant was inappropriate in how he spoke to me. The new consultant noticed that my bones, on the x-rays looked odd….my bones appeared see through….she immediately diagnosed me with Vit D issues. Despite a test saying I was merely insufficient and not deficient, I was exhibiting the symptoms of someone who was deficient. I was immediately placed on a strong supplement and within 3 weeks I was pain free! My energy levels increased….was night and day, I know have to take a supplement daily.

The medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat diet and microbiome and sleep and vital nutritional deficiency issues (including those related to Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Magnesium deficiencies as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related CZcams presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.

I had plantar faciitis for the first time in my life, it lasted four months with no good days. It felt walking in broken glasses, pain that’s so severe that it felt like my whole leg was inflammed even though it doesn’t look like they were swelling. I’m literally crying in pain almost every morning. Ordered vitamin D3 with K2 thinking my pain was some kind of a bone spur or something. I knew vitamin D3 would help with moving calcium to my bones to make them stronger. Long story short, it was sort of a miracle, as within ONE WEEK almost all the pain is gone, and before the 2nd week it was like it never happened and i am 100% sure it was the vitamin as i never change anything in my diet.
I had also plantar faciitis once and I danced so hard that the pain gone

Yeah sadly here in the USA all the foods that are fortified with D is from D2. Some people cannot convert it to the active form D3 so it’s best to make sure you’re taking D3 to ensure conversion is not an issue

This is fantastic. I have been diagnosed with Vit D deficiency by my doctor. I also live in the northern hemisphere, I'm in the UK.
Since changing my diet I have noticed a reduction in chronic pain.
Indeed the pain I experience was around long before I became Vit D deficient, but since improving my diet and taking a good quality suppliment,as advised by my doctor, I have noticed a great improvement in how regularly I experience pain and the intensity of it. Many thanks 🙂
That's brilliant..great news x
Hi there! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of diet worked for you? I'm trying to eat more fruits and vegetables, but I have heard that an anti-nflammatory diet is good also. I'm kind of lost when iT comes to this stuff. I always did different fad diets to lose weight, but now I just want to be healthy.
Thanks and glad you found something that works for you!!
My Rheumatologist put me on Vitamin D and my Arthritis pain has been gone ever since...
Have you heard about nightshade foods? I cut those foods out and that helped my weight go down (helps joint pain also) and my crohns doesn't flare up hardly at all. I went back to having some nightshade vegetables once in awhile, and if I start to feel squiffy I just cut them out again...
The main thing that helps me over all is working out, Ti Chi and I stretch every morning for 5 mins.
Hope everyone is healing up and feeling better.

I’ve had what I thought was arthritis in all of my joints for about six months, including my back. Have barely been able to do anything, and I have a ton of responsibilities that run me ragged. Then I started just having pain all over.
Was absolutely horrifying and so tough psychologically to be in constant pain. Thought I’d surely be in a wheelchair soon. Learned about vitamin D and pain. Started taking 2,000 units per day and seriously within a week my pain all over is 95% gone. Seriously!!!! Can’t believe it. I’m now sure I’ve been deficient for many years and it just kept getting worse.
I have a sun allergy so I stay in shade or keep covered and I’m sure that’s contributed to it.
Mine was 19 ng/ml - I was in soooo much pain, its ridiculous.. 5 months later after supplementing, Its up to 55 ng/ml. Feeling soooo much better

How much did you take and how often?
The problem with Vit.D, at least here in Germany, is that doctors don't check it by default (you have to ask specifically and pay yourself) so most people don't know their levels. Even if you have been diagnosed with low Vit.D there are jo folllow-up checks. They tell you to take supplements (usually 1000 per day or 10000 every two weeks) and that's it. You get no feedback on whether you are taking enough or taking too little...it is extremely lackluster and can actually be dangerous...but nobody seems to care since there probably isn't enough money to be made off of Vit.D supplements.
And then of course you have various non-medical sources that tell you to take enormous amounts of Vit.D and to ignore the risks...
Thanks for sharing Roland
That’s crazy. Do they have their reasons?
Sadly, they actually do that to us on purpose
Same here in the US. Vitamin D needs to be specifically requested in lab tests.
Same in Canada. Vitamin D tests are only covered for limited conditions. Most of the time you have to pay out of pocket for the test.
Is it just me who is hearing vitamin G??
The liver has to transform it! If the liver does not work,there is the problem!15 Minuts 3x a week,nice!🙏💜🙏 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yes I just read
Calcitriol is available in tablet form
Everyone I’ve ever known who had a vitamin d deficiency, including myself, had extreme bone pain and aches. My hips would hurt in the middle of the night and in the mornings and since starting vitamin d, that’s the first symptom to gradually ease.
Thanks for sharing this experience.
I started taking Vit D supplements and the hip pain went away almost immediately
I take vitamin D3/K2 combination to help me with fibromyalgia pain. It really works:)
Thanks for sharing!
It does, I use it for pain, works like magic. Exactly with K2 and K3. I also added fish oil and magnisuim, B12 and vitamin C. Otherwise whole body inflimation eats me up and depression to the point of no desire to live.
I just saw a paper that indicated that if you took 50,000 units per week your vitamin D levels will be normal yet if you took less than that at 3000 units per day your vitamin D levels would drop below what was the target value of 30 ng/mL. I've been taking 50,000 units per week and my levels are 51 ng/mL so I've continued taking 50,000 units per week and have not resulted in hypervitaminosis for vitamin D3. I am heavier than most people so I would stress the fact that vitamin D levels depend a great deal on body weight and also inflammation as inflammation tends to use up vitamin D3. It's best for people to go to the physician and get their vitamin D levels checked as it appears to me that the dosing of vitamin D3 has to be tailored for the individuals particular medical conditions. I would suspect that an individuals intake of alcohol would also be another variable that could shift vitamin D levels down.
Hi, can you please write here a link to the paper?
Wow... Starting this tomorrow morning...Thanks! Just Subscribed!!!
It appears to me that recommended dosages and maximum dosages are really up to what each person needs and can tolerate I get my blood tested twice a year minimum and I take 10,000 units daily of vitamin D3 I live in South Florida and I also sit in the Sun for 30 minutes each day that said just two weeks ago my blood tested at 49 nanograms per milliliter with those high dosages and sitting in the sun 5 to 7 days per week. Those amounts might be toxic for some individuals and not nearly enough for others so talk to your doctor and get checked out that's the only way you're going to know whether you're harming or helping your health.
I think some of us we don't absorb it well. I take 30,000/ daily, eat VD rich food, still on the border. But VD is a pain management for me. Without out it, inflimation and depression will eat me up and I take k2, fish oil, B12 magnesium with it.
I agree. I take 10,000 iu daily. And under the supervision of a Naturopath Dr.

Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR. Sun Exposure
The best way to get vitamin D3 is through sun exposure. Go outside and get some sun, especially in the mid-day when it’s the strongest.
However, many of us use sun block, which is good for our skin but not so helpful when it comes to the production of vitamin D3. By blocking out the UVA and UVB rays, sun block can interfere the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D3. GOD BLESS.
I live in Arizona and I’m out in the sun for at least 5 hours a day - and I’m still deficient! My pelvis core (bones) are very sore when I don’t take my D3. I take 30 thousand D3 daily and my pain is zero combined with K2.
Hi Sally, that sounds too much, but please follow your doctors advice.
I was exposed to mold, which is associated with fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed vitamin d deficiency also. Most Native Americans are as we are lactose intolerant. Lactose can also be found in pharmaceuticals. Most all drugs have triggered mast cell activation. Most foods trigger histamine intolerance. European health concerns are different than non European.
Thanks Doc , I really enjoyed your education video , It was a good reminder to make me pay more attention to all my vitamins ,, Thanks
PS , There are times I forget ,,,,, But I'm a big on eggs and salmon fish and sardines and mussels ,, No junk food in my house
Glad it was helpful!
@ Nellie & Brian Omega 3 works well for pain relief if you want to supplement what you get in your diet. I regularly take Nature Made brand 1200 mg twice a day but you can find what works best. There are only a few high quality brands that will provide the level of Omega 3 needed.
@@lorriefinley3129 I eat a quarter cup of hemp hearts in yogurt or salad everyday. They are loaded with Omega 3 and omega 6. It's so good to regulate the metabolism and lower cholesterol. The hemp hearts taste nice and nutty, I sometimes just crave to eat them just like that..
Thank you for this video it is inspiring. I feel happy
You are so welcome!
Supplementation with D3K2 helped “cure” my fibromyalgia pain which I believe was VitD insufficiency related.
I am dark skin and I still get sun burnt so I hardly ever sit out in the sun. I prefer indirect sunshine so having melanin don’t really help.
Thank you Dr. for sharing .God bless you and your family❤🌹🌷🌷
Same to you!
Doctor, GOD bless you for all your good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
So nice of you
Thank you Doctor, now I can show my MD, what you stated is too much vitamin C in your blood …..I have to discuss that with my family doctor. So glad, you mentioned that ! Love your accent too…..
You are welcome Jean

My physician found that my blood level of vit D was low and so recommended I take a vit D supplement, D2 because I am vegan and D3 is made from lanolin usually, D2 from carbohydrate fermentation. He prescribed a 20,000 IU capsule. I took half the cap. Within an hour I got a very bad headache and it lingered for a couple of days. I normally do not get headaches. I have osteoporosis and I think taking vit D is probably a good idea. Even though I get considerable sun exposure my level was low. My skin color is beige, I have a little bit of melanin. A week later I tried taking 1200 IU. I still got a headache, but not nearly as bad, and lasting only about 8-12 hours. What I do is take 1200 IU 2 or 3 times a week and I get a headache every time. My blood level is still low. I had a scoliotic spine since my teen years. even though I go plenty of sunshine. In summer I spent hours on white sand beach turning brown and not burning, several times every year, latitude level of New York City. In winter I got some sunshine too. Arms would become brown. At around age 55 I started getting a kyphotic spine and bone scan showed mild to moderate osteoporosis.

ive been on 50,000 i.u, once a week for over two years. the only benefit ive seen is i get a burst of energy the following day. and thats about it.
Wow... my Vit D levels were at 11.9 ng/ml. I knew it was low but didn't realize it was actually in the deficiency range. My doctor kind of brushed over it so I didn't think it was that necessary to take the supplements he recommended. I'll have to start taking them more regularly
Thanks for the video, but you never mentioned how long we should spend in the sun if you are a dark-skinned person! This is crucial information for a lot of people in the world!
Thanks for sharing!
Yes thank you for your question. I would like to know the recommendation of sun exposure as well for People of Color? Appreciate your feedback Dr. Furlan.
Thank you very very very much
Very good explanation
Satisfied with your precious information
You clear my all doubt. No one can do this till now
You are most welcome
My wife who was diagnosed with MS has started the Coimbra Protocol - High dose vitamin therapy with a bunch of dietary changes - low Calcium, No Dairy, No Gluten, She is taking 50,000 IU's of Vitamin D a day along with 1000mgs of Magnesium, DHA and a special formulated multi. 2.5 litres of water a day. After a month she is feel great - much less achy, sleeps better, balance is a bit better. Loving it so far - we will see how the next few months goes.
please help me my vitamin d levels are 13 ng only...I am taking 10,000 iu per day with 200 mcg k2 and magnesium oxcide 500 mg but my pain is still here...how can I fix my problem
Thanks for the info; and promoting the efficacy of vit D3. I wish I’d had this knowledge when I was diagnosed with o/p in 2009; as I was probably deficient way back then.
Glad you like the video.
I love video and to much knowledge to much. I Apracite
To much Thank s i love you. I m 62 years old. I cin video. To. Knowledge. To much Thanks
V interesting! As a sufferer of Autoimmune disorder, Chronic Pain & Fatigue I've just returned from a month of Canarian full sun. What a difference it made, I was so much better (not pain free but able to function each day) About a week after returning to Britain I am on the decline again with horrendous pain all over etc. Not just the feel good factor of the sunshine I'm convinced!
I have another video that I talk about my experience taking too much sun during vacation, and then my immune system went down and I developed shingles (herpes zoster). So, too much sun in a few days if you are not used to might not be a good iea Eileen.
@@DrAndreaFurlan thanks this is very interesting also. I'm convinced that I need to move to warmer climes to improve my quality of life!
Eileen, try Vitamin K1and 2 that will probably improve your situation.
Works fast but do not stop. Minimal 2 years to rebuild your complete body.

I am told most 🇨🇦 are deficient.
My level doesn't rise much being outside and low D can create issues clotting when injured.
I must take 100k iu a week and no one interested in finding out why.
Chronic pain has become normal. Considering getting help outside of Canada
Thank you for this informative video. I have vitamin d deficiency, currently 19. I can’t take supplements (for some weird reason have a reaction). It’s good to know I only need about 15 minutes a few times a week and your video also explains some of the side effects I’m getting when I try to overcompensate and get too much sun. It actually is helping with some of my chronic nerve pain issues and now I know how much to get! Agree with other comments about it being just one area to look at as you’ve mentioned though, chronic pain is a complex issue, but getting the basics right does help. 😁
Real vit d supplements are made from lanolin. Nature Made is made from lanolin. I had the same problem until I found out about Nature Made.
@@nancybucher4098 Thank you for the advice about Nature Made, I will look into it!😁
You might be able to try vit d3 instead ( look into it )
I was told to take vitamin D after having liver failure but I had to stop taking it. My next blood test showed my calcium levels were too high hypercalcemia
How your nerve pain was cured?pls reply
Hola, doctora Andrea apenas me subcribi, con usted asu canal son muy interesantes sus videos explicados yo tengo también hipocalcemia aparte que ya no tengo tiroides, sigo viendo sus fabulosos videos, bendiciones mil gracias 🙋♀️👍
Gracias. Thank you for watching.
Madam , It is a beautiful program & we have gathered much knowledge from your beautiful explanation , Thank you & seeking more informations in future .
So nice of you
I have been dealing with fatigue and pain that seemed to come out of nowhere over six months ago. Pain in my ribs, my neck, my back and severe TMJ. Nothing has helped. I have gone to many practitioners and have had minimal effectiveness. I asked my doc to test my vitamin and everything else (blood, liver, kidneys, all of it) just the other day. Found out I have low Vit D and need to bring my B12 levels up too. I had attempted to get my last doc to test me but she said she’d do it if I kept feeling poorly and the pain didn’t go away. For such simple tests they are I really was disappointed she didn’t test me when I first asked. Now I’m going to take some vitamin D supplements and hope to feel like my old self.
Selene Vazquez now you are ok
There’s no money in it for them. They just want to give a test where they can make money on
So how are you right now please reply..🙏
I had IBS and all of a sudden my vit d defeciency was detected by help of Allah.
Since starting vit d therapy Alhamdullelah my IBS is vanishing and i am near to complete healing from IBS.
I say it for IBS patients who are their and suffer from it.
Checking ur vit d levels is a must.
What do you mean by IBS?

I take 3,000 units a day.
I was extremely low in Vit D, now I'm good.
Hi Wendy, plese follow what your doctor tells you to do.
Hi Wendy, how many months have you been taking the supplement? and what are your symptoms?
"5:16" -- Recommended daily dosages is the subtopic at this juncture.
"5:41" -- Vitamin D maximum is said to be 4,000 IUs per day.
"6:00" -- Vitamin D toxicity & it's symptoms.
Thanks, Dr. Andrea Furlan. I guess, as the saying goes, too much of some good things can become problematic.
