I am not a doctor.. But try Vitamin D 5000. Take one a day. Try it for a month and see if that will help you at all.

Taking too much Vitamin D in supplement form by itself on top of the vit. D you get from food, multi-vitamins that include it that one may take, and the sun, can cause some serious health issues. Check with your Doctor FIRST before taking that much vitamin D to see just how much you can take and still be safe. I forget offhand how much it was you can take before it becomes unsafe, but I know for a fact, that it can be unsafe if you take too much of it.

I know you can get away with having an intake of 2000-3000 IU a day-that's getting it from food plus a supplement and the sun(15 min. of sun exposure will give you 400 IU of vit. D.), but I wouldn't take more than that without consulting a doctor first.

Vitamin D is good for you because it's what helps calcium absorb into your bones. Without vitamin D, calcium is worthless for the bones, because the bones can't absorb it without Vit. D. And, if you don't get enough Vit. D, even if you get enough calcium, you will just end up losing bone density and end up with osteoporosis. That means you can break a bone easily. Osteoporosis isn't an old person's disease like most think it is. Anyone can get it, even kids.

But, TOO much vit. D can be bad.

Anyway, please check with your doctor before following Rainmaker-san's advice. And, no offense Rainmaker-san, ok?
