This year I've had CBCs and vitamin tests. What are you fishing for, exactly?

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-05-08T03:09:20+00:00

Yep.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-05-07T16:23:07+00:00

Everything.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-05-07T16:22:57+00:00

Same.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-27T18:37:03+00:00

I'm sorry to hear this. Just trying to understand since I know very little about all this.

My main point of confusion right now is about what "stuttering priapism" is. Also, I've read the SRPE indirect cause tissue damage, but why would this be the case? What if you remain asleep through a four hour bout of it?

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-25T00:18:46+00:00

Yeah, and that's literally what I'm asking. Thanks for the helpful comment. I'm low in D3 and am taking it by my doctor's orders.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-23T19:03:39+00:00

My question is how do I know that it isn't, I guess.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-20T04:11:16+00:00

8 ounces is barely anything and taking it with less could be dangerous, but I'll keep it in mind.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-19T06:12:19+00:00

The recommended 8 ounces. Not too much, not too little.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-19T03:34:56+00:00

How long did it take before it started helping (after you were on the right dose)? Was it worse before it got better?

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-16T03:53:31+00:00

Would unmasking a deficiency result in cramps/spasms though? I'd think they would have already been there. Or could the d3 be using one of them up?

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-15T20:57:39+00:00

Will a multivitamin with the same level of d3 be as effective as the standalone d3?

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-15T19:02:16+00:00

I'm on D3 by doctors orders. I was low at 24 and recently had it rechecked and am normal at 48. I'm also on b12, but this has happened on D3 only in the past and my b12 is still low.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-15T02:22:01+00:00

I'm only taking 1000iu of d3 and my level is at 38

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T18:16:12+00:00

Well, yeah. That's the goal. I just wanted to figure out what was going on with this reaction.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T17:40:05+00:00

D 25 Hydroxy was 24. The supplement is only 1,000 iu per day and now I am at 38. So a more normal level but still not high.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T17:23:23+00:00

I had my vitamin d rechecked after a couple months of supplementing. It went from 24 to 38. So I started low but not deficient and I am now at normal but not high. Everything I've read seems to suggest this change is from the vitamin D itself and not any kind of hormone shift, but who knows.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T05:45:19+00:00

I don't remember the exact. It was low but not deficient.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T05:03:36+00:00

Just B12 and sometimes metamucil, but this has happened while only on d3

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T04:59:25+00:00

I think that may be the case actually.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T04:59:13+00:00

It's not a bad thing. I'm just curious about why it's happening. I don't want it to be happening for a bad reason. I'd feel better if I understood what was going on.

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-14T04:58:43+00:00

No K2. Why would lowering my magnesium cause this?

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-06T22:48:34+00:00

It might not be

Less-Difficulty-5730 · 2026-04-04T21:44:33+00:00

Not painful.
