It is has been known for some time that there is a genetic susceptibility element to Fibro. That doesn't mean that if you have this genetically increased risk then you will definitely get it, but that you are at higher risk if close family also have it or have related conditions.
There is some evidence that CoQ10 can help with Fibro symptom management.
Vitamin D deficiency is generally considered to be quite widely under-diagnosed in the western world, especially if you include sub-optimal levels of vit D in that. As the symptoms are similar to that of Fibro, Fibro can mask vitamin D deficiency and a vitamin D deficiency can also appear to make Fibro symptoms worse.
Hi Lindsey,my g.p laughed when I asked for my vitamin D to be looked at.
I then got a phone call from her aking me why I had wanted it done,and I told her it was because EVERY bone in my body hurt,and had read up on it and it rang alarm bells.
Outcome is my level is only13 and healthy level is 50.I am now having a bone density scan done.
I sometime don`t feel I fit fully in the fibromyalgia camp,but get a lot of help from the site.
I have the chronic fatigue and brain fog,but also have sjogrens which give these symptoms,and my joints are warm and red which is inflamatory.
I don`t see my rheumy till July,it`s been a long wait since first being diagnosed in January this year.
Hugs butterflyxx and thanks for the interesting sites you put on here.

Be put on them but I did not know about CoQ10

Are recommend so I will give that one a miss I think.
