Vitamin D deficiency symptoms

​Vitamin D deficiency has been coming back low in so many of my patients lately.

Getting your vitamin D tested before winter comes is a great idea because it’s only going to go downhill until summertime.

The main symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency are:
  • Fatigue
  • General poor sense of well-being
  • Discomfort in muscles, joints and bones
  • Muscle cramps, weakness or discomfort
  • Low mood, depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D) 
  • Getting sick all of the time or taking a long time to recover from infections or viruses.
  • Low white blood cells (leukopenia), specifically low neutrophils (neutropenia). 
  • Increased risk of several different cancers
  • Osteopenia or osteoporosis
  • Flaring of autoimmune conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc...
  • Cold sore or shingles breakouts
  • Hair loss
  • There are too many too list!

Fatigue... There's a good chance you're not just being lazy

​​Fatigue...

I hear it all of the time after running proper blood work for a patient, “I thought I was just really lazy, it’s so nice to see why I have no energy on paper.”
​

There are many different causes of fatigue and in my practice I have so many patients claim that they are lazy, but once I run proper blood work, we realize what the true cause is.
