Hey, Phil:
Has being in the sun raised your vitamin D levels? I was just telling Tomatheus that I live in southern California and am outside a lot. In fact, I made a point of getting massive doses of quality sun before getting my blood work last month. It doesn't appear to raise my vitamin D levels. This makes me think something (such as my mental health issues) keeps my vitamin D chronically low or that there is something not working in my body that converts sunlight to vitamin D. Supposedly, fair-skinned people can convert uV radiation into 10,000-25,000 IU of vitamin D in 30 minutes or less. If that's true, I should be getting more than enough vitamin D in my normal daily life. But it's not happening, and hasn't been happening for at least five years. Kind of a bummer.
