Vitamin D levels can be low in patients with auto-immune diseases.
Being that MS is an auto-immune disease, then im sure that the low Vitamin D level, maybe caused by having an auto-immune disease.

However with the right treatment, vitamin D, and sunlight, i am sure you can raise these levels.

Good Luck

From everything I've read, it does. I know when I was Dx in 2001, my D levels were low. I now take 5000mg of D3.

Hello,

The University at Buffalo showed that is some correlation. I will suggest exposure to sunlight it has been proven that is really good to take 20-30 min of sunlight daily.

Take Care!
