What Hurt my Vitamin D level

October 13, 2008

A couple of months ago, my blood test indicated that my vitamin D was low.

This must have been the 'flavor of the month'. Anyhow, it was suggested I

start taking a supplement, so like a good little boy I went out and got a

bottle of 1000mg tabs. I started taking them and slowly started to affect

me. It was so slow and low-level I didn't know it was hurting me. During the

second week of taking them, I started to feel some general pain in my guts.

I started hurting, throwing up (5 times one night) and then it would slowly

go away. It happened the same way the next week, making me hurt in all my

stomach and intestines. During that week, I saw the doctor and it wasn't

presenting enough to make a decision. All other functions were normal so it

wasn't necessarily a virus. I stopped taking them last week and the trouble

went away. This Saturday night I took my MTX shot as usual, and took a

vitamin D on Sunday morning. That afternoon the pain started again so I

immediately stopped them again. I'm thinking it's caused by the MTX and

vitamin D combination. Have any of you had something similar?
