Hi @baa Good Afternoon!
I have never done a Vitamin D home test, I did not even know such thing existed rsrs. So can tell about them, sorry!
On my Vitamin D exams at the lab. it says that an acceptable level is one above 20 ng/mL (for people up 60 years of age) with the following note: "Values ​​between 30 and 60 ng/mL are desirable in the population over 60 years old, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, patients with rickets/osteomalacia, osteoporosis, patients with a history of falls and fractures, secondary causes of osteoporosis (diseases and medications), hyperparathyroidism, inflammatory diseases , autoimmune diseases, chronic kidney disease and malabsorption syndromes (clinical or post-surgical)". Hope these information do help you @baa.

Santosha, good day and thanks for the response. Yes, at a pharmacy here you can get a test kit which is sent in to a mail-in lab. I did not get a chance to ask neurologist and my primary, quite frankly, is useless. I need to change to another. I will try to call neuro’s nurse and get an answer. Thanks again and have a day filled with blessings - baa
