Hi akemwave - I wasn't implying that D3 caused my drop in blasts back in 2012. Even though I normally get sufficient sunshine my body doesn't make sufficient D3 and that's why I supplement. An added bonus is that it seems to keep my platelets a bit higher than they normally would be. It's worth having your vitamin D level checked if you have MDS.

Some info for you: http://www.pdsa.org/treatments/compl...pplements.html (read right down to the experiences)
