My levels were tested several weeks ago as I was having lots of fatigue and some mild aches. I am already on a med for low thyroid and my thyroid #s were fine.

I tested very low for vit D and have been taking 50000 iu for about 2 mos now. What a difference. I have more energy and dropped about 5 lbs. I can really feel a difference in my achiness.

I would recommend having your vit D levels checked as part of a routine screening.
