Do you know your vitamin D3 level? My girlfriend had RA went through intravenous treatments which didn't help much. When I finally convinced her to start high dose vitamin D her symptoms stopped and went away.

Come to find out her doctor did do a D test. Her level was 3.

Vitamin D affects all parts of the body including the immune system.
