A member asked:
I have narcolepsy with cataplexy and tend to run scary low vitamin d levels are these related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Since low vitamin d is widespread, 60% in usa, best to supplement, and get level up to 50-60. Is evidence that low levels cause some sleep disturbance, but not narcolepsy. However, vit d supplements may help control some of this better. Discuss necessary approach with your doctor.
