Hi Jilly,   What a wonderful success story!!  Taking vitamin D is now just part of my daily routine, I don't even think about it anymore.  But I have been comtemplating the attempt to cut gluten out of my diet, just to see.  I don't drink dairy but do love hard cheeses.  Hearing of the benefits you've seen helps me to make changes for myself.   Sorry that your neurologist doesn't support increased vitamin D intake and a dietary approach to health.  I don't know that I completely believe that diet alone will slow down MS progression, but I do firmly believe that what we eat can affect our health.  If I eat bakery goods, my rheumatoid arthritis flares, simple as that.   I hope that the absence of symptoms continues for you too.  And thank you for you well wishes.    Now get that vitamin D level checked so that you know where you stand right now so that you can make adjustments to your intake needs.  hehe
