Vitamin D deficiency? Flu-like symptoms but no flu...

For the last few weeks I've felt awful - bone-crushingly tired (sleeping at night though), flu-like symptoms, physically weak, dizzy, trembling sometimes, irritable, like I'm experiencing reality through a pane of glass, foggy brain, anxiety has been awful too. I felt so dizzy at work a few weeks back that I thought I was going to faint and I got sent home.

Went to GP, had a blood test. Everything came back fine bar vitamin D, which was 32, which is considered a deficiency (iirc). Surely my symptoms can't just be down to a vitamin D deficiency? Anyone had any experience of a vit D deficiency? What was it like for you?

I've been inside much more than usual this summer and when the sun does come out my body so desperately wants me to go outside (I get this really weird, panicky, impatient feeling) but I usually have shit to do so I don't! Am wondering if I'm not exactly helping myself Blush

Have you tried the Holland and Barrett vitamin quiz? Worth a look. I take calcium as well and feel completely different.
