A level of 8 is very low. Take prescribed high dose Vitamin D 60,000 IU per week and increase sun exposure. Recheck levels in 6 to 8 weeks.

Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

I have vitamin D and calcium deficiency. However, taking calcium supplements causes my hair to turn gray. I tried taking calcium with vitamin D, but after stopping the vitamin D dosage, my vitamin D levels went down again.

In 2014 I had joint pain and doctor after seeing blood report said I have vitamin D problem. Treatment was done for 6 months. Later I was fine. Again now from one week my joints are paining and have swelling in ankle and feet which stays the whole day and increases in evening. Which doctor I need to consult?
