Vitamin D

[Pineapple12]

Hi all

I hope you are all okay. I'm currently away and have noticed that the stiffness in my legs is easing but home ward bound in a couple of days and was wondering if vitamin D is what's helping? I live in UK and work fulltime in an office. I know we have had a heatwave recently but as usual it doesn't last 🤭

Pineapple12, I take Vit D Oct-Apr (as should all adults, especially Ataxians) and it does seem to make me feel better.

Thanks ConfusedAtaxian I think I will give it a shot 😀

Before all this materialised (ataxia) I worked obsessivley long hours at a volunteer job, in an office. I started to have aching legs after a year, thought about it, took vit D, went outside more (worked less hard) and the aches stopped.

i'm living in a tropical country, there were 2 times where i was hospitalized due to drop of vit D level in my blood. the impact was making my muscles very weak. Now my doctor is making me consume Rocaltrol (Vit D supplement) every single day..
