This is a great callout and a good warning for folks. I've had mild Vitamin D deficiency which was diagnosed by a doctor many years ago. I was given Vitamin D supplements, which I stocked up on more than usual recently due to my staying in all day due to WFH and not getting any sunlight.
I used to take 50mcg of D3 1-2x a week and I upped that (without consulting a doctor) to 5x a week. Within two weeks, I started having extreme thirst. It was crazy to the point where I drank so much water that I could hear it sloshing in my stomach yet my mouth was parched dry and I was still very thirsty.
I did a quick Google search and found that this was actually a thing [0]. I stopped my Vitamin D supplements the next day and my thirst went away that same day. Be careful folks.
