You need not worry so much. Low vitamin D is a very common condition and a surprisingly high number of people have levels less than 10. Its treatment is simple in the form of capsules taken once a week. CRP levels by themselves do not mean anything. It needs to be correlated with other reports and will require you to be examined.
