This past week I've been megadosing on vitamin D, woke up today feeling pretty damn good . . .

I have to say I feel better today than I have for a long time. I especially noticed that my lungs seem clear of congestion this morning.

I usually take 5,000 to 10,000 IU vitamin D over the winter, on and off, mostly on, and have been doing that for several years. I believe this is why I haven't caught a cold ever since I started this, or if I did, it didn't hang on at all, barely got started.

But I had something going on this week that prompted me to give it a try and take 25,000 IU a couple of times, I have probably taken 25,000 to 35,000 IU about 5 times this week.

It's been a long time since I felt this good when I woke up. My energy level seems really even and I don't feel anxious or weak. My thinking seems clear and I feel somewhat ambitious and confident.

I have lived at northern latitudes my whole life and avoided the sun because of a past tendency to severe sunburn. (have noticed I seem less vulnerable to sunburn the last few years, and have read that niacin can help make a person less susceptible to sunburn, I probably take more of that than I used to, also trace minerals which might be helping somehow, I don't know).

Anyway I'm going to keep experimenting with this, maybe even though I was supplementing I was still deficient.

I'll go out in the sun sometime when I can, but I live in the city and don't walk around without clothes, and I work indoors all day. Plus at the northern latitudes it doesn't do anything anyway outside of the summer months, and it has to be at the high noon hours that I've always avoided because of sunburn.

I'm going to take this kind of dose for a little while and see how it goes. I know doctors prescribe this, it's not crazy to take it, I do take magnesium which is very important if you supplement with vitamin D.

Anyone else had a similar experience?
