My daughter was just diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency. She has a seizure disorder from a brain injury(along with other problems), so we went to a psychiatrist to see how to help her with some issues.

Well, the psychiatrist did a whole bunch of blood work and found out that she is vitamin D deficient.

We live in California, and my kids are outside a lot, and she is still vitamin D deficient.

I found out that her seizure medication can strip her body of vitamin D.

Anyway, we are supplementing her with vitamin D. We’ll see if it helps. It’s only been a few weeks.

I hope that helps, seizure disorder is not a good thing to have to deal with. I think we’ve discussed that on the Travolta thread IIRC. Do you do a lot of sunscreen? It can block D as well.
