What could be the cause of a very low Vitamin D level in recent blood work?

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I am 27 (I have had it since the age of 7). My recent blood work just came back showing very low Vitamin D levels, even though they were normal 3 months ago. I have to go on Vitamin D treatments for the next 16 weeks. I am just nervous because I have not been feeling good lately and I don't know if there could be something else going on. Can anyone help with some insight?

1. Are you sure you're taking in enough vitamin D? If you have such low vitamin D levels, you might be prone to disease. I don't think there would be an immediate cause to lower your levels so much.
2. Try getting out in the sun for about 15 minutes a day, that should help.
