I to have an extremely low Vit D count – originally it came in at a 9 which shocked the dr. She initially didn’t even want to check it and I actually called them after they did a thyroid blood check for me and asked them to use some of the blood to check the Vit D. I had gotten really anemic, exhausted, headachy and just in intense pain all the time. Vit D helps as does Juice Plus+, Vit B.

Even so, in much more extreme conditions, the expert care of a podiatrist is recommended to get over
this problem.
Powerful or too much sports pursuits involving the foot,
and in specific conditions, arthritis could result in this sort of
foot soreness.

My doctor diagnosed me on the phone and said I did not need to go back to see her!

I went through a lot of problems, including, TMJ, heavy period, insomnia, body stiffness, pains, etc. Through trial and error for 4 years, I finally got better through Chinese Medicine, Taiqi, SSRI, Vitamin, most importantly Christian prayers and resolved personal relationship problems.

Regarding trouble sleeping. I still have trouble falling asleep and have had the sitting all night. for years ,…I take Cymbalta and after years of taking it at night the NP said switch to taking in the am and it has helped. I still have those sleep issues, but it’s not each and every night.She said it works differently in people Makes some people drowsy in others works the opposite.

About Vit=D…I had mine checked about four years ago just by chance before all the hype about low Vit-d in women. It was at 12 and it took two years to get in 32 ,at 100,000 IU weekly, PCP said the higher it is in the normal range the better you will feel. He then dropped it to 50,000 IU’s a week stated the medical community were to aggressive with treatment at first.

Besides vitamins and supplements and minerals has anyone else’s doctor mentioned anything about the brain? A few of the doctors I’ve seen mention that it’s some type of brain malfunction where the brain perceives pain when there is none.
My understanding is… that the part of the brain that percieves pain is somehow on overdrive.
Anyone else hear anything like that?

I take One A Day gummies. I alternate between the ones with Omega and the ones with minerals and antioxidants to build immunity. Doesn’t help the Fibro AT ALL. Doesn’t give me more energy AT ALL, but I’m telling myself that it’s improving my overall health.

There is a definite sleep correlation in Fibro. U of Maryland did a study (in 2005?), they could induce Fibro in healthy college kids by continually interrupting 4th stage sleep. The kids regained normal health with solid sleep. Most people don’t realize waking up to go pee several x per night interferes with 4th stage sleep thus vicious fibro cycle. Uninterrupted sleep is critical 4 recovery!

Well, …this explains why when I drastically changed my diet in February I began recovering. I eliminated refined foods, gluten, sugars, high glycemic carbs, and dairy except yogurt. I ate berries with large portions of organic yogurt with probiotics, plates of greens, colorful veggies, fish, small amounts of meat..BTW, U of Maryland recently discovered acidophilus can relieve Chronic Fatigue.
