Default Vitamin D deficiency

Hello all,

In December of last year, I went to a rheumatologist because my GP felt I had symptoms of an autoimmune disorder (chronic low grade temp, high sed rate and crp) and when I went to him he ran a bunch of blood tests including vitamin D - everything came out basically normal except that my Vitamin D was 14 ng/mL so they put me on 50,000 iU D2 once per week for 12 weeks. I just had my levels rechecked and they are now 12 ng/mL, so my gp's solution (I am not set to see the rheumatologist again until mid June) was to prescribe me 5 more weeks worth of D2. I don't understand why my levels are so low considering that I spend several hours a day outside and am fair skinned and fairly forgetful about using sunblock as judiciously as it should be used. Should I try a D3 supplement, or am I just...I don't know, broken in some way? =P
