Fibromyalgia and vitamins
Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia and vitamins
fibromyalgia
The two types of pain are different. The fibromyalgia is primarily a pain in the muscles and tendons, whereas the neuropathies are of the nerve fibers. The first presents with soreness and achiness or tenderness, and the second, burning, or electrical type buzzing, or sharp cutting pain etc. Diabetes and peripheral neuropathies often go together. Also, Asthma can masquerade as COPD, and visa versa. So I don't know if any of that helped, but it's additional information.
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.
He said that there is really nothing that you can do about it besides go to physical therepy and exercise, and take all my vitamins. But one thing I couldn't get him to understand is that I'm not even able to hardley get up out of the bed, much less evercise. You just cant get these doctors to understand anything, and get this he told me that there is no medicine at all that would help.
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.
I recently posted regarding some tingling and numbness in arms and B12 or diabetes was suggested. I have since started taking B vitamins and have been very careful about what I eat. I have also been exercising everyday. The numbness and tingling has gone completely away - however, I still have severe muscle pain in both forearms. Can this be related? It has only been 3 weeks since I started the vitamins.
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.

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. Will I ever be able to try medicines again? I have an allergy from them...swollen tongue and throat type but, can that ever change???/ Thanks.
I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I have some osteoarthritis and have had a hip replacement 4 yrs ago, in the last year I have becomed very fatigued, muscle pain especially in arms, shoulder area, hands and feet, I have very little energy to go to gym anymore, I heard that 50% of people with fibromyalgia also have low thyroid, even though my thyroid test shows normal, could thyroid medication help?
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 !
I found out I had low thyroid since being here and Ana test positive. I saw a Rhymotologist yesterday and he ran more test and will let me know Thursday.

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...
