Having rheumatoid arthritis can be considered as a risk factor for fibromyalgia. A lack of vitamin D is associated with higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis. A correct intake of vitamin D, along with calcium is very important in protecting the health of our bones. Low vitamin D may lead to early progression of the disease. You need to see a specialist. Your doctor will advise you to start vitamin D supplements.
The rearch on this supplement combined with vitamin D is looking more and more promising for completely suppressing MS. Here's hoping the research holds up with more time. I have been taking this since last june and the numbness in the right side of my face is completely gone. Don't really want to get anyone's hopes up, but I am excited.
My dog weighed 28-30lbs and the correct dose for her was 500mg Glucosamine per day. The vet said the 'human' Glucosamine was fine to use, so long as the dosage was correct for the dog's weight.
So it depends what your dog's weight is, how much you can increase the dose.
As far as I can make out, dogs (and humans too) respond differently to Glucosamine. With some there are great results, and with some, not much improvement.
You could mention this to your vet perhaps.
Unexplained bone and muscle pain was found in 93% suffering vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is found in 98% of autoimmune thyroid patients. Vitamin D deficiency is usually found in most autoimmune diseases. Vitamin D regulates the immune system. Typically, autoimmune thyroid patients need levels at 80 - 100ng/ml (200 - 250 nmol/L).
Natural treatments for pain includes omega 3, glucosamine and chondroitin, and ginger.
My lab started limping really bad. I went to human vitamin store and got her some glucosamine supplements. I got the liquid flavored glucosamine and the glucosamine soft flavored chew. I know some cannot swallow pills. My dog eats the chews if I slightly warm them. She will not touch the liquid. I would rather put a pill in some meat or something. It is much easier for her to take. I put her back on a food with glucosamine and she isnt having any problems.
Thank you very much. Will follow your suggestions and revert.
This is seen in hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Paget’s disease of the bone, PTH secreting tumors, and Vitamin D excess. Vitamin D deficiency with low PTH can cause sarcopenia or weakness of the skeletal system. You need to consult an endocrine specialist for this who is the best judge. Sometimes if the calcium and Vitamin D supplements are not taken properly or in optimum dose, it can result in erroneous lab results.
Hope this helps.
I am a survivor of 10 years and I am finished with Tamoxifen and have till October when I will be finished with Femara. My urologist wants me to begin taking Vitamin C and Acidophalos?? I wasalways told that one shoud not take vitamins, having had cancer. I am allowed to take Evening Primrose Oil 1500 one a day to prevent breast cysts. I am most concerned about starting Vitamin C.
I've got Hashimoto's thyroid - my souvenir from treatment I call it. Also have arthritis, my other souvenir, as I had neither before treatment. What helps considerably with the joint pain for me is taking Vitamin D. I notice the difference when I'm not taking it. My endocrinologist identified that I need Vitamin D. I stopped taking it when I ran out, couldn't exactly pinpoint a difference. I got to a point where it hurt just to walk down stairs.
For cats with FLUTD, we have found that a couple natural cat vitamin supplements with glucosamine, MSM, cranberry extract, etc have proven quite helpful to eliminate recurrences of lower urinary tract infections in cats like yours. Should you want to follow up on this, it would be my pleasure.
With respect to your cats food, home made diets are excellent, provide real, honest nutrients and are quite easy to prepare and very cost effective.
I was Using a NetiPot twice and day, on Domperidone, vitamin E, D, Glucosamine and Estrosense. I think numbness only started when I took a sublingual B12 vitamin. Since then, I have not touched and vitamins. No Pharmacists or Doctors can tell me what's wrong. Does anyone have a clue why I have the numbness?
Now I only use it before or after training and I feel better than I have done in a long time and can train no problem. I also take vitamin K2, vitamin D and calcium, cod live oil and a glucosamine supplement but I am almost positive it is the magnesium spray which has helped me with this. It’s worth a try at least and its only about 17 euro and the spray lasts just over a month.
glucosamine, with vitamin c as the two work best together, and hyaluronic acid.
some do get better results from chondroitin but it is not necessary, or shark cartilage.
fish/flax oil will lube 'em up for you also.

I would certainly give him a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement. I give my dog 500mg Glucosamine plus 200mg Chondroitin, and she weighs 28lbs. She had a broken legf years ago, and very occasionally got a twinge and a slight limp. Since starting the Glucosamine....within a few days!! she did not show any discomfort at all, and has not shown signs of twinges yet.
Apparently it works better alongside vitamin C.
