High-dose Vitamin D

Hi ladies?

Is anyone taking or have been taking a high dose of vitamin D during their pregnancy? And did it help with back pains? I've been taking the regular 400iu dose a day for about a couple of months but came to know my levels are still low. Developed lower back pain today with shooting pains in one leg and thought it might be related.

And to add to that, I'm thinking of getting over the counter high doses coz really dont want this back ache to get worse. Has anyone taken high doses from over the counter?

Hi. I've had really bad leg pains at night and my consultant has prescribed me Calcichew tablets, which are calcium and vitamin d combined. Otherwise I have bought high strength vit d from Holland and Barrett previously.
