In my medical career, I have had the opportunity to care for several patients who were intoxicated with fat-soluble vitamins, two with Vitamin A and two with Vitamin D. In only one was the intoxication not iatrogenic and she died.

The two patients with hypervitaminosis D both survived, however they were very ill for weeks.

I’d really rather not go there again, thank you.

Say it ain't so, Joe.

A little more info, por favor. What was the source of the vitamin D? If the source was through supplement then why do sunbathers not suffer the same?

CholeraJoe,

Could you share with us what the symptoms of vitamin D overdose are? Also, what was the level of supplementation your patients were taking, and for how long? Was it viatmin D3? And where did the 25-hydroxy test when the toxicity was diagnosed? Thanks,

I personally know two people who have chronic fatigue. Both were diagnosed with extreme deficiencies of Vitamin D. After supplementation, they've have see dramatic improvement.

How many ulcers have you seen caused by ibuprofen?

In either case (A or D), what was the source of the hypervitaminosis? What dosage per day had the patients been taking, for how long; and what was their body weight?

Cheers!
