Vitamin D and Fatigue by: Kerri Knox, RN-The Immune Health Queen!
Hi Nita,
Yes, Vitamin D Deficiency Fatigue is a real thing. But make sure that you have a full medical workup to make sure that there is not another serious medical cause for your fatigue- as there can be many serious problems that cause fatigue.
Having said that, if your doctor has ruled out anything serious, then absolutely get a Vitamin D Level drawn. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!
You need to know what your vitamin D level is in order to take enough vitamin D to correct your deficiency. Simply taking SOME vitamin D because you are tired will not be likely to help your fatigue.
Most people are seriously SHOCKED when they see how low their vitamin D levels are- and that is good to be shocked because it makes you more aware that you ALWAYS need to be conscious of your vitamin D levels for the rest of your life.
Simply taking vitamin D isn't likely to fix the reasons WHY you are fatigued and have vitamin D deficiency in the first place. Vitamin D deficiency does not exist in a vaccuum without other lifestyle and dietary factors in place that are making you ill.
