Book is pricey and not yet in print...

A doctor friend of mine suggested checking out this one...

UV Advantage by Michael Holick is also available for ~$8.  Available at 
Amazon.com if not available in your local stores..

Holick has an article online at....
Vitamin D: importance in the prevention of cancers, type 1 diabetes, heart 
disease, and osteoporosis1,2,3,4,5 
http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/79/3/362

Among other things--"Vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as 
fibromyalgia." 

Another researcher looking at Vitamin D is Dr. Neil Binkley, U/Wisconsin. (He 
is also looking at the role of Vitamin K in bone health.)  Find more by doing 
a www.yahoo.com for "binkley and vitamin D"  This article is one of several 
you can find by searching www.wisc.edu 
http://www.nutrisci.wisc.edu/fac_ns/f_binkley.htm   

One of the studies Binkley is working on Vitamin D & balance. 
http://www.med.wisc.edu/news/item.php?id=1520  "Participants will also undergo a formal gait 
assessment at UW Health’s Rehabilitation Clinic. In particular, researchers 
will be measuring speed of gait and the amount of time an individual stands in 
what’s called “double-stance” gait--both feet on the ground."    

Interestingly, Samuel Gee (1888) noted that celiacs that recovered (as 
opposed to died, I presume) were left with a peculiar gait that never resolved. 
Researchers in England have found that in those suffering from varying degrees of 
gluten ataxia, gait ataxia is universal affecting 100%. 

Gluten ataxia in perspective: epidemiology, genetic susceptibility and
clinical characteristics.

Woodroofe N, Wood N, Davies-Jones A.

Since Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, it would make sense if fats weren't 
being absorbed, especially at northern latitudes and when skies were darkened 
by pollution from burning coal...
