When my pcp started testing me for lupus one of the tests he ordered was to check to see if I was vitamin D deficient. I was and he recommended that I take a supplement. I take a multivitamin for postmenapausal women (even though I'm not one) because it has 1000 IU of vitamin D. I'm also very stubborn about going outside as I am an avid hiker. Sunscreen and hats are a normal part of my outdoor attire.View Thread
