    Just to chime in, I have a Vit D deficiency (I take 20000 IU D3 once a week) and I agree sometimes the sun is not enough, I was diagnosed in March and I walk 2 miles to work everyday so I am outside most of the time, I run outside in the mornings (at the time I wasn't as I was exhausted). I am also fair skinned, blonde/blue eyed so I am at a high risk of sunburn. To the OP what might help is to take the supplement with food.

    The Solgar Vitamin D in 1000 IU and Raw 2000 IU is good. That in addition to the multivitamin is good. You can go regular or food based.

    I had a severe deficiency. I took 4000 mg daily (D3 drops - 4x1 drop of 1000mg - brand name CanPrev, doubt it's available outside of Canada though) for a year, and it's normal now. Will probably take 1 drop a day from now on, since our days are getting shorter. (By 1st week of Nov, they'll end around 4-5pm :/ soooooo sad about that)

    I used to have a Vitamin D deficiency when I was much heavier. I had no idea malabosrtion was linked with obesity. I'm still overweight, but haven't had as much of a problem since having lost the majority of my weight.
    I do make it a point to walk out in the backyard for a few minutes a few times a week for some high exspoure sunshine.

    Also with a high body fat percentage at normal weight.

    I didn't realize there was a link between D deficiency and fatigue. Hmm.

    I was wrecked until the drops started kicking in.
