I'm dealing with a Vitamin D3 deficiency and my doctor prescribed some Vitamin D3 capsules from Mankind that I'm supposed to take weekly. But after taking them, I've been feeling like my head is heavier and I'm constantly thirsty. Is it normal to feel this way? Could there be a problem with how I'm taking them, or is there a better way to boost my Vitamin D3 levels quickly? Any advice would be great.

For a 20mm kidney stone, medication alone may not be effective.

Consult your urologist or nephrologist for alternative treatment options.

They may recommend:

Alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) to help pass the stone

Potassium citrate to help dissolve the stone

Pain management medication (e.g., analgesics)

Surgical options, such as lithotripsy or ureteroscopy, may also be considered.

I'm feeling a bit worried because a few weeks ago, I started experiencing this tingling pins-and-needles sensation in my feet and hands. It seems to happen in my feet mostly when I'm sitting cross-legged. I went to my doctor, did some tests for vitamin B12, vitamin D, and thyroid, and it turned out my vitamin D was really low, at 29 nmolL. I've been taking vitamin D tablets, but the tingling is still there when I sit a certain way. Plus, my hands get super dry at night. Could all these be related to the vitamin D deficiency?

The tingling sensation in your feet and hands, especially when sitting with legs crossed, and dry hands at night, may be partially related to Vitamin D deficiency, but other factors like poor circulation, nerve compression, or peripheral neuropathy might also contribute; continue taking Vitamin D supplements and consult your doctor to rule out other underlying causes and consider additional tests or referrals to a specialist if necessary.
