My question is: Do any of you know why we with MS have low Vit D levels? What causes it?

Thanks!
I don't know what causes us to have lower levels of Vitamin D. Maybe someone who knows will come along soon and post about it.

What kind of Vitamin D did your doctor prescribe? If it's not D3 then it's pretty useless. Most doctors still prescribe D2 which, IMHO, is a total waste of money. D3 is available OTC and is relatively inexpensive.

Here is a link to a thread about Vitamin D: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread140053.html
