    Why the hell would you do that?

    I had to do exactly this after a blood test showed my vit D was so low they couldn’t accurately test it. It was to bring it back up to level, and now I just take a normal amount every day to keep it that way.

      Had to do the same a few years ago

      It was quite the trip suddenly having my vitamin D levels go from dangerously low to normal in such a short span

      Especially after mine had been so low for so long

        Did you have symptoms from low vitamin d, and how long did they take to resolve?

          Vitamin D has a big impact on emotions, and in my case I felt nothing emotionally.

          Like literally nothing

          It took a few weeks to feel normal again but that first week it was like all my emotions got turned up to 11 and because it had been so low for so long I had little to no control of those emotions.

          I was a damn emotional wreck for that first week and a bit of a wreck in the following weeks.
