Oh no here we go again

Still waiting for my official diagnosis of suspected PV. (Hopefully next week) and the terrible pains in my thigh bones have started again tonight 😢

What do you all do or take for this if you get it?

paracetamol - don't take brufen, will alcerate yr stomach

I recently learned that bone pain can be a result of vitamin D deficiency. It’s worth getting that checked out. It’s too soon yet to tell if vit d supplement will help me. I am apparently “profoundly” vit D deficient

Thankyou, goid idea. My son has just been put on a massive 'loading dose' of vitamin d as he was depleted. He had tiredness and aches but has other conditions that we put it down to. Think I'll get mine checked next time too.

Hope yours helps you 😊

Hi. I think I just read a recent report from Cleveland Clinic in US (highly respected Clinic/Hospital) that you need magnesium to absorb vitamin D. So if they recommend you take Vit. D, I’d research that. Katie

Thank you for that. Just a quick google confirms what you are saying about magnesium. Neither my haematologist nor GP know much about vitamin D supplements so I guess it will be up to me to research! I notice a couple of articles refer to mortality as a result of vitamin D deficiency so I am now going to set to and do some homework! One of the most annoying symptoms I am getting is severe sweating from my head and neck. My face drips sweat at times. Ugh! I recently read that this can be a sign of vit D deficiency so I am hoping to become a complete new woman when I’ve done this research😂😂

I usually find that drinking (even) more water helps with my bone aches.

Thankyou I'll try that 👍
