Just wondered what your experience is of supplementary vitamin d and what dose people take? Seem to get a different answer whenever I ask the docs!
Hi
I wouldn’t have said I necessarily feel better or worse depending on whether or not I take it. However, there are lots of links with MS and vitamin D, so I take it anyway as a precautionary thing in the hope it will help in the long run. I take between 1000 and 2000iu. I have taken much higher in the past (15,000iu), but I had a blood test recently which showed my levels of it were healthy so I’m staying with the lower dose. I get mine online as it’s much cheaper than somewhere like Holland & Barrett. I usually use Healthspan or Big Vits whenever I get supplements.
Hope that helps

Hello My vitamin D level is being monitored by my gp. It was 25. I’m taking 1600 IU daily. Just had my bloods checked again…its now 42 Will have my bloods checked again in six weeks. 
When I was DX my neuro told me to start taking vitamin D 5000iu a day & has written in my notes Gray
I got told to start taking them the day I got diagnosed, I take 1000iu. Ivebeen taking them for roughly 8months now. I didn’t get many colds over the winter & when I did they didn’t last very long, so I guess they are working
I went to see my consultant in December and was told that I should be taking between 3000-4000 - apparently 4000 is the maximum tolerable dose xx
