Vitamins and supplements

[catleigh]

Do you take any vitamins and/or supplements to help with your Fibro?

Thank you

Hi! A lot of people have a vitamin K deficiency when you have fibro, but I would honestly recommend seeing your doctor before taking any vitamins or supplements as they can sometimes interfere with the medication you're already taking.

I personally take evening primrose oil, cod liver oil for PMT and my joints and ginko biloba, but have ok'd these with my doctor first. I'm getting my vitamin K levels checked when I see the doctor on Friday.

Hope this helps a little, but please see your doctor before taking anything extra x

I take the boots a-z vitimans along with vitiman c and an omega 3, 6 and 9 capsule.

I take the a- z to stop cravings for certain foods ie chocolate and crisps.

Vitiman C I take to prevent colds

The Omega 3,6, and 9 I take for my eyes. x

Hey, I know this is an old post but I wonder if you had a proper answer from your GP regarding vitamins. Mine refuses to get into that except for vitamin D.
