6 months ago, my oncologist told me to take 5000u of Vit. D3 daily because my Zometa infusion was depleting my D. I've noticed that since then, the frequency of my full-blown migraines has increased. I have not changed any other meds with the exception of adding Mobic a few weeks ago. I was having the frequent migraines before that though. Any thoughts?
Can too much Vitamin D3 trigger migraines?

Hi Kathy
What a good question. The only place I could find much factual evidence was Web MD and it says that too much vitamin D can cause headaches which was a surprise to me. The only other semi reliable info was that Vitamin D can cause headaches if your magnesium levels are low.
Something for both of us to find out as I have been having headaches since starting large doses of Calcium and D3 for bones.
Take care

Lady,
Thank you for taking the time to look for info on this. My eyes are crossing with the H.A. so will have to re-read the posts after my meds kick in. I plan to contact my oncologist Tuesday to ask if a decrease is in order. I was taking Calcium daily as well, but stopped that a couple of months ago.
I'll let you know what my doc says. Perhaps you are having the same problem as I.
Your pain in the --- head friend!

I too have been taking vitamen d3, 10,000. My levels were below 24. Diadnosed with fibromyalgia 16 years ago, irritable bowel, constipation, acid reflux, insomnia, cervical bulging discs, spinal stenosis and occasional migraines. Yeh, I'm a fun date. Started taking Vitamen D about 10 days ago and now have a headache 24 hours a day. The dull achy, all over the head kind. Thanks for the info. I will try the magnesium along with vitamen B 50, (contains all vitamen B's to assist absorption) and iron. I am 58 and have been a nurse for 30 years. Why arent we given this info? My doctor knew i was low but never suggested anything! Don't depend on your doctor, find out for yourself by keeping informed. God bless.
