It also messes up your brain, making you feel more depressed and anxious.
I think you also said you had been prescribed supplements - if these are the strong ones (e.g. 10,000 or 20,000IU) then I would suggest taking magnesium and Vitamin K alongside it. When I didn't take Vitamin K at the same time, I started getting bruises popping up everywhere because the Vitamin D used it all up and I became deficient in K. And lack of magnesium can start off muscle twitching/cramps and funny heart symptoms like extra beats and palpitations. Vitamin D needs both to work in the body, so will use up any stores you have.
I'm just pre-warning you in case you get any of these symptoms and panic that something is seriously wrong - it's not, it's just a deficiency in one of those!
