No surprise coming from me but I think that everyone who suspects MS should have a comprehensive D panel as part of initial testing. Besides the frequency of deficiency associated with MS, it can cause neurological sx.

No TB test because I have a titer regularly to meet state licensing requirements for one of my licenses, so that was taken care of.
I didn't have a Vit D screen either, and wish every neuro would order one when they order a workup. There's just too much evidence that it's neuroprotective and so many people's levels are too low.
The whole bloodwork thing just stunned me when I found out all the things they were testing for, but a D workup wouldn't have added that much more to the already exorbitant charge! Thankfully I have good insurance!
