Does anyone take vitamin D supplement for fibro and if so has it helped and how much do you use.  I have just started to take some.  I already take B supplements and magnesium.

    I have vitamin D in my calcium. I also take 2 capsules of fish oil. I take a good multivitamin and the vitamins for my eyes. My itching has decreased considerably and I am so thankful for that. I am on prednisone 50mg.
