I'm LOW! I am utterly shocked. I'll know more tomorrow when I speak to my endocrinologist but this was one of the results he left on my answering machine.

A brief history -- I started reading about Vitamin D3 shortly after I was dxed, way before information started to dominate the news. What I researched made sense to me and after I started taking it, the first doctor I saw and told was my endocrinologist. (Since D3 functions in the body as a hormone, it wasn't surprising that he was very knowledgeable.) He explained the importance of testing liver function if you're supplementing with this kind of dose. I had my first work-up probably after I'd been taking it for about 8 months. Results were within normal range and liver function was fine.

I asked him during my visit last week if my he thought my last test being within normal range definitely meant that I was low before I started taking it, to which he said yes. And now, fast forward a year, I'm low with THIS kind of dose!

I know there are a lot of posts about D3 but I decided to start a new thread to strongly encourage everyone to get your levels tested on a regular basis. You never know! I am doing pretty well MS-wise and I have often wondered if taking vitamin D3 is one of the reasons. No way of knowing for sure but I'm not going to stop to find out!

I've been in and out of town and crazed but I will visit again soon to share some other interesting things about my endocrinologist's visit MS-wise which might be interesting to the board.

Big s to everyone!
