So it turns out I have a fairly severe vitamin D deficiency (normal range is 30-100 ng/mL; my level is 17). I know it means I'm sick and twisted, but I'm somehow more amused by telling people "I've got rickets", which, while technically true, is a terrible thing to be amused by, but I don't know, it's like I've developed scurvy or beri-beri, which I know, it's totally wrong to be amused by, too, but there you have it; I'm a bad person.

Well, no; you just take unholy joy in announcing that you have something that many people haven't even heard of since high school. ;-)

Good luck on bringing your levels back up. (Hopefully no one has suggesting sunbathing, but a little extra sun might help a little if you're not photosensitive.)

See, that's why I was surprised. I walk outside, without sunscreen, several miles a day, so I assumed I was good for all my D needs.

Eeep. Substandard ultraviolet in these parts? (Sorry. Your doctor probably knows what's up with that.)
