Last year was a bad year for me; I had a leg drop, I was in a lot of pain with increased RX, etc. Talking to my Neuro and he was checking my vitamin D levels. I don't get out in the sun much because the heat bothers me. He told me my level was at 40 and it should be higher, so I started taking an additional 5000 iu each day. I already take the 1x a month 50,000 iu which was keeping me at a level of 40.
So I increased my vitamin D and I can honestly tell you it saved me. I was able to cut back my Neurontin by 2700 mg over 6 months, my leg drop which I was told was perminent - is now FINE! I don't think it will cure me, but I think it made me feel better.
Talk to your Neuro about increased vitamin D. I checked to see if there was anything about having too much vitamin D - couldn't find one study that said don't do it.
Happy and healthy trails to all of you!
