After 8 doses of 60,000 IU weekly, a repeat Vitamin D level should be checked before deciding on further treatment. If levels remain very low (below 10), a doctor may recommend an intramuscular injection for faster correction. Fatigue and poor appetite with severe Vitamin D deficiency are expected and usually improve as levels normalize.
Next Steps
Get your Vitamin D level retested now and share the report with your doctor to decide on the injection. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

If you are not affected by the stockholm syndrome mentality --> & can accept usual indian tanned skin colour, best way to get vit D  is -- eat plenty of local fruits & raw vegetables(ie salad) & take morning sun light exposure at your naked skin daily for 20-40 minutes. Most of your problems will be solved. SUN is SUN .
