Thank You for the links. I will check those out. The allergist thought there was a possibility that it could be environmental but the immunologist said since it's chronic and doesn't vary even when I stay at my sister's it's something internal inside my system. That's why I am wondering about the change in D levels due to lack of direct sunlight.
