At 1000 IU daily my GP mentioned that I take a lot less D than most with MS, but my neuro saw my recent blood workup, including my D level (after 12 hour fast) and said 1000 IU was good for me and to go no higher than.

Again, we're all so very different. I'm a strong believer in the D (D3 more specifically) as well.
