Vitamin D Deficiency Common Among Rheumatic Conditions

"We have seen in studies that vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with a range of rheumatic diseases, and our results have confirmed this using several clinically accepted measures of disease activity," said Dr. L. Idolazzi, of the Rheumatology Unit, University of Verona, Italy. "What we need to see now is a range of long term studies, which examine the clinical response of patients to vitamin D supplementation."

I notice that my pain levels are slightly lower when I supplement. Every "slightly lower" adds up, though.
