Can someone please explain what the reason people with Lyme have low vitamin D? Why is this the case and should Lyme people be taking vitamin D?

I typed in -- lyme vitamin d levels -- and hit search.

You have to put lyme or you will get responses to all the diseases listed in HealingWell.

I've been taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D for years now and I could never get my level up above 30's. I spend a good deal of time in the sun sans sunscreen in the summer, too.

My level is now 47...my best ever. It's only been in this acceptable range since I started treating the Lyme.

My functional medicine md doc said he sees low vitamin D with chronic conditions, not necessarily just lymes.
All of us, the kids and I, have struggled with lower vitamin D levels, despite aggressively supplementing for years.
However, once I learned the connection between d and k, I switched to a supplement of D3/K combo. And all of our levels shut up quickly. I had to back off from it.
Posting from phone so can not easily post links for reference, but I am sure you can find some good articles on D and K. (for those who struggle with getting their levels up)



Thank you for this I'm having a hard time finding info related to Lyme. I will look into d/k

I thought this was a good read (more related to your initial question).

Be careful with over supplementing on high doses of fat soluble vitamins as there has been many recent links to multiple organ cancers

Yes, I can tell you about Vitamin D deficiency. I am a PA-C with 34 years experience and I can tell you Vit D def. is a widespread problem more so in the northern part of the country due to low sun exposure. It is associated with all chronic diseases in that they occur earlier and add to their severity. There is no cause and effect to Lyme disease.

I read a lot of people with Lyme feel that the disease is the reason they are low in vitamin D. Is this just yet another myth of the disease?
