Vitamin D?

[Lindz]

I recently went to see my lovely doctor and he gave me blood test for Vitamin D deficiency. Came back that I sure was deficient. He assured me it would make me feel a little better. And it has...

has anyone else had this test?

Hi - no test yet but my Doc has recommended I take Vit D and Calcuim & Magnesium supplements. Blood tests in 2 weeks for deficiency and Metabolic Syndrome.

Hi Lindz.

If you look on the Main Fibro Action site you will find information about this.

Here is the link

fibroaction.org/Articles/Fi...

hope that helps

happy hugs, kate

Yes I had this and it did help, though I did still have Fibro.

It is one of the tests that should always be done before a Fibro diagnosis is confirmed, or when appropriate if symptoms are worsening or uncontrolled, but often isn't.

Effects are wearing off very quickly - I am finding it so hard to actually REMEMBER to take the darn things, and also not to take my thyroxine tablet within 4 hr time span of them. lol

I just asked the doctor for Vit D test - he refused, said ti was a waste of time , if I wanted Vit D I could go out and buy some from the chemists

It is if you're diet is healthy and balanced BUT. I thought mine was, turned out I was deficient despite working and playing outdoors. It was one of the investigations in the early days and eliminated as a cause of the pain. capsules are relatively cheap and a supermarket has a 3 for 2 regularly. I'm wary the people that push supplements usually sell them. . . RDA is apparently not really agreed upon but I suppose smallish doses may be harmless considering my treatment was 2000x RDA for 12 weeks! after that my GP said I'd now be ok. .

Hi there

Yes to see if it was that which was causing my problems, well at least some of them. It delayed my fibro diagnosis by approx 6 months when I told the GP there hadn't really been much change apart from nails getting stronger. My level was low because I'm stuck inside and then when outside I need to hide from the sun I do believe they help me a wee bit Got told at vit deficiency diagnosis I was now life-long on vit D supplements.

Healing fluffies for you
