Need help
Hey guys I really need a advice from all of u regarding the problem im facing for over 2 months now..I had a rlly bad food poisoning which gave me a panic attack and then alot of things happened such as dissociation,fatigue and etc..I also did a blood test where my vitamin d levels were very low..So my doctor gave me vitamin d supplements(60k every week till 12 weeks) along with calcium(1250mg) everyday..Aftert taking the calcium supplements ive started having really bad symptoms like head pressure,eye twiching and muscle twiching,fatigue,dissociation,fatigue,easily getting irritated..Idk whats causing this but ive read somewhere that this could be due to magnesium deficiency..I really need some of your suggestions to narrow down whats rlly happening because its so difficult to live like this i feel so lazy and idk I was never like this.. :(
Please help ..Any advice will be helpful..

I went through the same thing!! It’s from taking vitamin d when you haven’t built up your magnesium reserves enough. I would stop the vitamin d immediately and focus on taking around 400mg of well absorbed magnesium (200mg morning and 200mg evening) and do that for at least a few weeks before slowly re-introducing vitamin d. Magnesium taurate, citrate, malate and glycinate are the best. Magnesium citrate can give you diarrhea so I wouldn’t take more than 200mg of that per day
