Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. But also my doctor said that my vitamin D level was low so she put me on 50,000 units of it. I was wondering could my vitamin D level being low have anything to do with my fatigue and flu-like feeling? What are the usual symptoms of vitamin D level being low????

Avatar m tn I have been told for 3 years I have Fibromyalgia along with osteoarthritis in many areas; osteoporosis (I have lost 2 and l/2 inches in 3 years; fracture mode; every medicine I had been put on has been problems and I have been taken off all for Fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Now, my right eye is getting fuzzy, not every day, but more days all the time. My doctor has said although I need back surgery, be careful doing that because it will possibly make your fibromyalgia worse.
Avatar f tn This is called ACES therapy and is a very good combination of vitamins and nutrients. Vitamins A, C and E are called antioxidants. They are useful to combat free- radical damage at the cellular level. Vitamin E, in particular, improves circulation and reduces muscle pain. Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
Avatar n tn s either something changed in your environment or something in your intake (vitamins, foods) unwittingly. I also remember getting a swelling and hard to walk problem when I started OPC (grape seed extract). The stuff's supposed to improve vein structure and help a lot in some people with the dysautonomia problems. I've thought maybe it strengthed the vein walls but all that blood pooling now didn't have stretched out veins to go into?
Avatar n tn I have both. I am on neurotin and Percocet meds. They help but not completely, I am taking B complex vitamins along with a regular multiple vitamins. For my arthritis I will use muscular rub on meds"..this on my back. My quality of life is poor. I have some times I my get burst of energy. It pushing though ...
4437322 tn?1354571357 Is there such a thing as severe fibromyalgia. Does it get worse over time for some fibro sufferers?
Avatar n tn I am a 22 year old female and after doing a bit of research it sounds as though I have several symptoms that occur under fibromyalgia. I have had throughout my entire life a bizarre amount of muscle problems and pain. In recent times (last 5-6 months) I have had occasions where my body and skin hurts so much that even my shirt is hurting it. This isn't an everyday, or even every week, event but it has happened probably 5 or 6 time.
Avatar f tn It was recommended to eat more veggies and to take vitamins. She has done these for several weeks and the symptoms have not improved. She has made another appointment with a doctor. Sometimes it takes many test to figure out a treatment for symptoms. Anyone have any suggestions as to what is going on with her or similar symptoms?
358699 tn?1297646442 It is my understanding that there may be a link between Lactic Acid build up and Fibromyalgia. What vitamins or other methods can reduce the levels of Lactic acid in the body? And I also wanted to know what good low impact aerobic exercises are good for this and overall well being for someone suffering from Fibromyalgia?
Avatar m tn Sounds like the mysterious Fibromyalgia. Those of us who have it take vitamins and minerals. Sometimes Gabapentin (anti seizure medicine) will help. My supplements include Essiac, CoQ10 and Ipriflavone. I have very few bad days now. But I do still have a "flare up" from time to time. There is no cure for Fibromyalgia yet.
Avatar m tn likely to be a strong lack of vitamins especially calcium is likely to be anemic it shouldn't be something serious unless she is very old and all her joints became dust(but if it was that she probably wouldn't move at all) just give her some vitamins based on calcium along with some milk products and in about 2 weeks she will be just fine if that is the problem...
675329 tn?1297288378 boy o boy do I agree with VintageChicken. Your doctor sounds like a prescription nut!. Do you have a diagnosis? or is he just pulling the names of medicine out of his, ah, er, hat? I must say I've never heard of Gabapentin nor Zonegram. I'm sorry to say I have heard of Topamax-simply no place in Fibromyalgia treatment from every report I've heard, read, seen and made from personal experience. It cripples every mind that I've learned about.
Avatar f tn I'm new here and I haven't had a fibromyalgia diagnosis, but I have had muscle twitching all over (mostly in my legs) and that has died down quite a bit, but I've have tired muscles and I have been so tired. I get tender spots that hurt for no reason to the touch. This past Saturday I went dancing and almost didn't make it through the first song, my legs started to hurt so bad. I woke up the next morning and it felt like someone had beat my legs with a baseball bat.
Avatar n tn I recently have diagnosed with MS, chronic Fibromyalgia, myalgia, and Chronic severe Migraines. I am going to a pain management clinic. I get injections of Lidocaine steroids. So far I find they are not working and end up in more pain. then I should be. I've been told that I will be on some pain medication and steroids for the rest of my life unless I go into remission.. I'm take all kinds of vitamins as well.
4861077 tn?1360156139 Hi all just a quick question I have just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and live with pain everyday. I find it hard to do all my daily things to the point that it hurts to peel potatoes what kind of help can I get for this as it is all new to me.

Avatar f tn also all of my mucles ache(almost feels as if the bones hurt) all over my body, especially my legs. Can one have Fibromyalgia and, at the same time, be clear headed? Thank you in advance for your time.
Avatar f tn i need good vitamins i have fibromyalgia and need energy. i live in pain everyday.
Avatar f tn Or you could have a vitamin deficiency. Next time you have a blood test, ask that they check your B and D levels. A lack of Vitamins B and D3 can cause fatigue. Fibromyalgia can also make you feel this way. You might want to see a Rheumatologist. Wishing you the best and hoping this info was helpful.
Avatar f tn Because of your age I am reluctant to even suggest any treatment protocol. Many multi-vitamins are ineffective for a variety of reasons. I would recommend a separate dose of D3, but avoid taking too much. Incidentally, some multi-vitamins do not contain the D3 varient.

653169 tn?1303446369 I just need a recommendation for a proper daily dose for folic acid and b- vitamins for someone diagnosed with RA and Fibromyalgia Thanks so much for your time, Shanna
806806 tn?1239513014 ve been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue and a pituitary microadenoma. Oh yea, depression too. I feel like **** at least 90% of my days. I get overwhelmed very easily, any stress to me can put me down for the day. Stress to me lately can be the phone ringing too much or traffic etc. Is there anyone with any advice on what to check or questions to ask. I'm wasting away.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am wondering if fibromyalgia can be missed for years before being diagnosed? When I was a kid up until now I have always had muscle pain. Charlie horses, cramps, tingling in my feet & swelling. No doctor ever said anything to my parents or me. Now I'm 34 haven't been able to work for the last 4 wks due to muscle pain, cramps so bad I'm unable to walk, confusion so bad it interfered with my work, my immune system is basically null & void.
