[b] Hello everyone. I have just ran across this site while doing some research and thought I would try to get educated from you guys. Please forgive me in advance if I ramble on. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 1 1/2 years ago. I have taken so many drugs, I cannot count. I am currently on Lyrica, relafon for arthritis and a muscle relaxer. I had a minor fall a year ago and broke my leg really bad and had to have a rod and screws put in. Two weeks ago, I had surgery to remove the rod and screws because I kept have severe pain in my leg. After several test, my doctor finally decided, removing the hardware would help and she was right. She decided to check my vitamin D levals and I just found out today that my levels were very low and I got a prescribtion for Vit D 50,000 units taking one everyday for 7 days, then one capsule two times next week, then 1 capsule weekly and I have to go back in a month to get it checked again. My Rheumatologist did not check for Vitamin D levels and now I see all these articles about Vitamin D deficiency and FMS. My first reaction was that I was angry to learn that all this pain, could have been avoided with a simple test. My Rheummy is about 75 years old, so she is probably old school and not up to date? I don't know. My question to you is can it be true that regulating Vitamin D levels help with Fms, chronic pain,and depression????? Penny |
