Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hi Group. Have any of you heard of a Vitamin D study happening? I got a letter from my Rheumy saying they're doing it now...asking if I want to participate. They say people with RA often have low levels of Vit. D in their bodies, and that's what they want to study. I'm going to find out more this week. Just curious. Rie __________________________________ Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Vitamin D does apparently help with RA. Most of the references I found were fairly technical but here is a popular ont. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/04/04/AR2005040400646.html Often people with RA take medications that cause them to stay out of the sun, or they feel poorly enough that they don't get out too much, so they don't make Vitamin D from the sunshine. I don't know of any specific study going on now but there have been a lot over the past few years. God bless. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rie Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 4:59 PM Subject: Re: vitamin D study?
