My Rheumy tested me for Vit.D deficiency and I was very low.  After taking the D and getting my levels up, my hair began to grow back in.  It was amazing.  I still lose it on and off, which just comes with the disease, but I have more to lose and it's pretty think when it comes back in.

Vit. D also made many other things better for me too.  It helped with pain level in general, with energy and with digestion. Glad I got tested!  I am an advocate now.

I've been forgetting to take my D!  Mine tested <4 very low.  I have been feeling sooo awful.

Thanks for the reminder.

Mine has also become more brittle and dry in the past few years, but I have no problems with loss.  I also have been taking vitamin D as a supplement, but haven't noticed a change in this area with the hair.

Take care.
