Vitamin D drops

[Aitch2oh]

Hello, I signed up for this forum because I need some advise and I hope that will not sound selfish.

I am a pensioner and I have a severe vitamn D deficiency. This has been missed because I have had ME/CFS for 15 years and no longer bother with doctors as they put everything down to ME/CFS.

I found out that I probably have this vitamin D deficiency by calling a helpline. My GP practise condescended to do a blood test and more level is 15 on a scale where the norm is 75-200.

Then the GPs locum started panicking and said I must take mega oses immediately. Problem is allergies to colourings, fillers and coatings. I have not taken even a rpescription drug for decades.

The I got advised to take the drops that are given to babies as they are in olive oil but I have been left to find them myself. I am house bound and I have been trying to do this online.

And then I thought of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So can someone tell me the name of some vitamin D drops that are in olive oil?

Many thanks

Crikey! It is not just linked with MS...

There is a link with vitamin D deficiency and autoimmune disorders. My rheumatologist told me he felt it could also be the 'chicken and the egg' scenario as people with AI disorders are less likely to get out and about. This was just his opinion.

I was suffering with terrible fatigue (sleeping 18 hrs a day) and suffering with severe muscle pain. I could barely lift my arms above my head to wash my own hair. I had a vitamin D level in the single figures, I think it was 8 or 9. I improved after 6 months on calcichew vitamin D3 forte and I was told I have to stay on it long-term. My GP was more than happy to prescribe it and even offered me the injections. I inject myself weekly and have regular blood tests due to Rheumatoid Arthritis, so I didn't fancy any more needles than I already have to have.

otter for the dc I import vit d3 from germany vigantoletten, they are available in 500iu (12.5 micrograms) or 1000iu (25 micrograms).
in germany the lower dose is given to all children from birth (tablets dissolve in a little juice on a spoon) until the age of 5, then the higher dose is given.
I only give them to my dc in the winter months though, as they spend enough time outside generally. I take 1000iu myself due to past breaks that might indicate that my bones are not as strong as they should be.

I also had a serious Vitamin D deficiency, despite a balanced diet and spending lots of time outside. The NHS is just now catching up on this. If you google NHS Vitamin D protocol, you will find out what your GP should be doing.

If you have tested low and been sent to Holland and Barrett by your GP, you might need to check the protocol for your area and remind him of his obligations.

Beware of injections offered by the NHS as they may be D2, which is not anything like as effective as D3.

With the approval of my consultant, I am currently taking 5,000 ius every other day, which keeps me at the top of the range. Whether I feel any better is another matter.

It is important to have good levels of Vitamin D for all sorts of reasons, including prevention of neurological conditions like MS and if you're taking thyroid replacement you need to know that this will not work unless your D levels are optimal.

You can get vitamin d on the NHS. I have just picked up my prescription of 4000iu/day
