The only way I know to find out for sure is to stop taking it and wait a few days to see what happens. Then you can repeat the whole procedure to double check. If the symptom comes back, then you have a pretty good idea of what's causing it.

This is exactly what's happening to me now and I did do research today after reading this thread. I'm always fatigue due to hypo thyroid, but now even more so. I never get headaches, but I do now. When getting up in the morning I have more aches and pains which is also unusual for me.
After reading about potential toxicity of D3 supplements and side effects I'm done with it. Kidney and liver damage. Really? I'll risk getting D3 naturally in the sunshine. I will also include more Salmon, Mackerel, and Sardines which are high in D3. I eat them now, but not enough according to the guidelines of twice a week.
What makes this ironic for me is normally I never take any type of pills unless thoroughly researching it first. I try to get everything needed through food. When my endocrinologist told me to take D3 I just thought it would ok because it was a vitamin. Wrong.
Senior thanks for starting this thread. It will keep me on my toes to never get relaxed and completely trust doctors again. I must always do research to understand the risk vs. benefits of anything that goes into my body.
