Dear XXXXXXX,
hello again. I remember answering your similar query in the past. I would suggest you see a Neurologist or me personally (since you are from Bangalore). Physical examination will give further clues on what is wrong with you to get this kind of headache.
If vit D supplementation has not relieved you from the muscle catch kind of pain, then clinical assessment is essential again by showing to either Neurologist or me will help to get a clue.
Anyway, you are free to re-post this query by saying 'you are not satisfied with the answer' and XXXXXXX will redirect the question to some other doctor for you.
Wish you all the best.

Hello Doctor,
Thanks for remembering my old query and you are right doctor, as my problem was not reduced and I thought that this problem may be due to some other reason, as such I asked the query under head ache and migraines. As advised, I will try to XXXXXXX you / or my regular doctor in a due course.
Doctor, in the meanwhile, I would like to have your advise on vit D which is bothering me. a) how serious is this shortage of vit D and how it will effect b) whether few more "Calcirol Satchet" can be taken if it not having any side effect c) Can I go for blood test to find out my present VIT D level.
Thank you doctor

Dear XXXXXXX
Low Vit D is a very common condition all over the world and it has mild to severe side effects depending on how long the deficiency is and how less the vitamin is in your body. The deficiency is said to reduce one's overall immunity, it is one of the newly found causes of heart disease and diabetes and most importantly it weakens your bones and makes you fracture prone for sure. People with Vit D deficiency generally have aches and pains happening without reasons known to them.
After you finish an initial course of 10 Calcirol satchets, take once a month for lifelong and it has no side effects.
No need to go for blood test of Vit D again as it does not have diagnostic or prognostic value once you are on supplementation. This is true when you do not have one of the rarest causes of Vit D deficiency. So do not bother.
I hope this helps you. Take care.
