Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Severe vitamin D deficiency may indeed produce symptoms of generalized fatigue. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is significant in the Lebanese population across all ages - we still don't know why this is the case despite the fact that we are exposed to plenty of sunshine throughout the year. You need to be on vitamin D supplements for a couple of months then do a follow up blood level to check how well you have responded to the treatment and how long you should continue to receive it.
