Since starting vitamin D therapy, my muscles have been feeling so much better. I have been far more active than I have been in the past couple of years. With that said, I went check out a gym yesterday. It's getting too warm for me to be outside walking. The gym is medically based and is a little different than your typical gym. There are lots of cardiac rehab patients and a bunch of trainers as well as a PT. Additionally, several of the trainers there have MS clients so that was a huge plus as I know they will understand the challenges we MSers have. I really liked it there and plan to start going there next week.

Hello everyone. I haven't been on here in such a long time! I've missed you all.

I stepped up my exercising in January and paid for it in February. I pushed myself past my limit and had to take some time off from exericsing just to rest and to calm my MS down.

February I exercised moderately and felt much better. This month I've been sick so often I haven't exercised like I want to.

We bought a new treadmill and I've been doing yoga. After I get rid of this latest cold and hopefully don't get another one, I plan to restart exercising moderately. I'm looking forward to getting back to exercising in a more consistent way.

Isn't that amazing, tkrik?

My D level was low and in the process of increasing my D level I noticed improvement in my legs, with strength, endurance and allowing me to exercise more. When playing with the D3 dosage I have found I can tell a difference if I am not taking enough.

What is enough for you Snoopy?

I take 5000iu daily.

Have you had your D level checked, Sally?

My D level was initially 16, if I am remembering correctly My last blood work showed it at 57, my neuro wants my D level between 50-60.

I feel really good with my D level where it is. I had been taking 5000iu for over a year to get the D level up. I am now taking 3000iu and will have my level rechecked in a month or so.

I asked my PCP to check it and he said, it's expensive,
so I passed at the time. He didn't seem to think it
was important, but I may insist next time.

Thanks

Sally, my neuro is the one who initially ordered the blood work to check my D level, recommended I use a D3 supplement and have it retested in a few months. My PCP does the retesting without a problem, he is closer and easier to get into see than my neuro.

My D3 level will be checked again soon. I take 3000 a day with a spray method.
