Low Vit D: Diagnosed w/lupus.Avoid sun.Lupus under control.Depressed & tired x 2 months. Vit D level dropped to 21. Could low Vit D be cause of my symptoms? ANS: almost certainly not but easy to test. Vit D comes from exposing skin to sun. Thus you may need to take it. Ask your team to give you enough to get your blood level up and see what happens is only way to tell.
