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!
