the thing that i found really odd for me was that i had my D levels tested at the end of august, at the end of the summer where i had been out in the sun ALOT, and my D was 33, which is borderline low! at least 30-60 minutes in the mid day sun week days (no sun screen on arms or legs since had built up slowly through the season) and longer each weekend, and after all that sun for at least 3 months, my D was that low. so how low was it by the end of the winter? and why was it so low? was it just low because it had gotten really low over the winter and it just doesn't come back that easily? or is it really a systemic problem? all i know is that the rheumatologist was surprised and acted like it meant something, but didn't seem to want to share. hmm?????
