Hi Chris,
I have been following your journey as well as Kerri's. You guys have given me a lot of hope for the future of ms treatment. I love reading about your progress! Maybe one day I'll join your ranks and consult a dr. at John Hopkins.
How much D3 do you take a day? I have been taking up to 10, 000 iu and it seems to be helping.
Thanks, karen: )

My wife as well as Jimmylegs will tell you the best kind and most easily absorbed is the D3.
Have you Vitamin D tested because more than likely it is low. Your GP will give you some killer Vitamin d to get you up to a normal range.
I take 2000iu a day at night for best absorption. This keeps me near 40.

I just started at a research hospital
Hello everybody. I have had chroinic progressive MS [not sure if primary or secondary] for 23 years. I was turned down by JH for the Revimmune procedure. I just started at a research hospital, Wash U. in StL, and I am not sure of what current studies are the most promising, and whether they are available to people with progressive, rather than R-R MS.
The JH people said Revimmune would not be good for me b/c I am too far along, but I have always wondered if it had more to do with the fact that I am not R-R, which studies seem to prefer.
One other question. I have noticed people here writing about vitamin D. Is that something everybody with MS shopuld be taking or is that to fight the side effects of a study process?[/b]

Re: I just started at a research hospital
It seems that everyone with MS should be taking D3. My neurologist was/is running studies on vitamin D and it seems to cut down on relapses: http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis ... s-relapsesjbro wrote:

Edit: By everyone taking vitamin D, I mean everyone should get their blood levels tested and take enough supplements/get enough sunlight/tanning booth time to raise their levels to between 50–80 ng/mL (or 125–200 nM/L) as per http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
