I'm experiencing some weird symptoms lately like fatigue, weakness, hair loss, tiredness, and leg pain at night, along with some muscle pain and a bit of depression. I came across something online that suggests these might be signs of vitamin D deficiency. Could that be true for me? If I want to check, is there a specific test I should go for? Also, since I'm a vegetarian and don't eat eggs, I'm curious how I can naturally boost my vitamin D levels through diet or exercise without resorting to medicine. How long would it typically take to see any changes if I start making adjustments?
