Vitamin D

[Trudi]

MARCH 17, 2015, 8:11 AM|Vitamin D is getting an F for battling hypertension. Dr. David Agus joins “CBS This Morning” from Los Angeles to discuss how too much vitamin D could also open the door to other serious health problems.

Another caution for taking Vitamin D.

Lyme/RA; AP 4/2008 off and on to 3/2010; past use of quinolones may be the cause of my current problems, (including wheelchair use); all supplements (which can aggravate the condition) were discontinued on 10/14/2012. Am now treating for the homozygous MTHFR 1298 mutation. Off of all pain meds since Spring '14 (was on them for years--doctor is amazed--me too). Back on pain med 1/2017. Reinfected? Frozen shoulder?

I don’t know for a fact that Vit D contributed to my issue. I had pain in my toe, thought maybe it was gout. My chiropractor said that I should take 5,000mg D3 and some Omega 3. I had my vit D tested a few years ago, and it was within a normal range, but my dr also suggested that I take some D to get it higher. So I started taking 5000 D3, and my pain and swelling went from just my feet into my hands, elbows, wrists, ankles, etc. Perhaps the D didn’t contribute, but I’ve stopped taking such a large dose. There is some D in my CALM magnesium supplement, and in my calcium supp. Just not so darned much.

HI Trudi and jasregadoo

I have sieronegative Seronegative Arthritis (psoriatic)
Vitamin D is very important to adjust the immune system

@Trudi:

are you taking vitamin D?

@ jasregadoo <: sorry but Vitamin D may not have exacerbated inflammation and … I think it is a case 😉

Hi Flower–
No, I am not. Vitamin D increases my pain level substantially.
Take care,

Hi Trudi;
Vit D is my enemy also.Mine converts way too fast to D1,25 and that causes inflamation.Here is something interesting

You may want to read the info on http://www.chronicillnessrecovery.org,they explain it quite well and my kid sister who had Lupus/MCTD and Lyme actually looks cured within 3.5 years with no meds and no problems for the last 4 years.Her doctor used this protocol

Thanks, Lynne–

As long as I can remember, I would avoid sitting in the sun. Swimming, yard work, etc. was OK. Now, if I go in the sun, I experience much pain. I will carefully go over this website.

Take care,
