Multiple sclerosis and vitamin D seem to be interrelated. Certain
experts have suggested that vitamin D deficiency may raise a person’s risk
of developing MS. Others insist vitamin D can affect MS disease exacerbations
and progression, as vitamin D is believed to boost the immune system and provide
a host of other health benefits.
Some say proper vitamin D absorption may be an issue for
those with multiple sclerosis. MSers always seem to run low on vitamin D,
except during those times when we take massive mega-dose prescription levels of
it. So something’s not quite right.
The whole vitamin D/MS connection still needs some deeper
description and development. But doctors seem pretty convinced that MSers need
more frequent
testing and higher doses than most other folks. And, whenever tested, most
of us routinely receive low results for vitamin D levels, even in midsummer,
when we may sport suntans.
OK, that set me to thinking. Although those living with
multiple sclerosis may be challenged to achieve and keep appropriate levels of
vitamin D in our systems, many do tend to develop high levels of other
essential D’s.
