My kids came back from MS Kids' camp with a few bits of information they recalled. Was really funny to have them tell me, "Mom, you need to be taking Vitamin D!" Of course, I already am doing so b/c my own PCP told me it was low some time ago after a regular bloodwork screening.
I asked them, "Well, how much do I need to take?" They didn't know. Actually, I don't either. I thought my doc's office told me to take 1,000 IUs, so that's what I take every morning. Nobody has questioned it when they ask the loaded question, "What medications are you taking?"
Is that the appropriate amount for an MSer or should I be taking more? I practically hide from the sun, once the summer heat gets to be too much for me, so unless I'm getting some from the foods I eat, too, that's all I'm getting.
What is your advice?
