I am taking 4,000 a day (for about 5 months now) and plan to ask for a Vitamin D test when I go in just to see where I am at now.

Does anyone know anything about this CD4 T cell testing? Someone on another forum recently was talking about neuros doing this test now to watch for PML, and if the numbers got too low they were yanking the people off of Tysabri. I had never heard of this.
Based on the plenary info I linked to above, iATP was identified as a more sensitive test for identifying those most at risk for PML.
