In April a study out of the University at Buffalo reported on the deficiency of Vitamin D in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Of the 236 MS patients -- 208 diagnosed with the relapsing-remitting type and 28 with secondary progressive, a more destructive form of MS. Results showed that only seven percent of persons with secondary-progressive MS showed sufficient vitamin D, compared to 18.3 percent of patients with the less severe
relapsing-remitting type. Now this got me thinking about a thread started by rcbaker200 on ‘Vitamin D’, most but maybe not all who contributed were dealing with low Vitamin D levels( wanted to bump but closed).Is the key to longevity, getting vitamin D to near or normal levels? Unfortunately, not a cure, but extending survival length. Is it possible those who have survived for 10 plus years or maybe even 5 plus years have had their
vitamin D normalise? Please can you help fill in the gaps, and answer these questions for me: How long has it been since your symptoms started and diagnosis?, Do you know what your vitamin D levels are and are you taking a D supplements?, Your age at onset and gender?. Thanks, Terry.
