TigerMilner Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Here is an interesting article I ran across. I have always been big on vitamins so I found this reassuring. Anything that keeps me healthy keeps me fucking. http://www.hivplusmag.com/treatment/treatment/2014/05/28/got-hiv-you-need-take-vitamin-d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators rawTOP Posted May 28, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Most people are vitamin D deficient - not just poz guys. I've been taking it for years. It's most critical in the winter months when you're not out in the sun. It can cause depression, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotload84 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 My doctor put me on it a few years ago, but she remarked the other day (with just a tad bit of frustration in her voice) that the vitamin D deficiency had scarcely budged. Even so I keep poppin' 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearbandit Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Guys with HIV should check with their doctors or pharmacists before taking vitamin D as overdosing on it can be as dangerous as being deficient. I have kidney damage from an HIV drug which means that I piss away many minerals and vitamins essential for good health (I piss so much calcium that I can put limescale on a PA in two weeks). I asked my consultant about the pain I was having in my bones (I have osteopenia - thinning bones) and his response that it could be that my prescription for vitamin D supplement needed to be lowered...
