After reading this thread I have started taking it again. I live in PA where we don't get a lot of sun, and have long periods of cold when I'm not outside much, so I am probably deficient. Also, does a tanning bed provide Vit D, even though it is artificial sunlight? I do do a tanning bed from time to time.

I don't want to test at this point. Also, I have a few serious medical problems so don't want to take too much Vit D3.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
