Vitamin D3 deficiency
Posted , 5 users are following.
Has anyone in this forum been diagnosed with Vitamin D3 deficiency too?
I got the results now and mine is 4! Incredibly low...
This may explain some of the symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia although, certainly, not all of them. Any testimonials?

Did your doctor say that you might not have fibro then?
I might ask my doctor about getting tested next time I go up, it's worth checking all avenues. I'm sorry it's been so hard for you to get the right care.

LDN is Low Dose Naltrexone. I've got a discussion here on it. Please have a look at it. If you still have doubts come back to me. You can pm me.
About the vitamin D…
I'm in Portugal. Some 3 years ago I asked my GP if I might have a vitamin D deficiency - because the deficiency symptoms matched some of mine. He recited the classical adage for vitamin D: "There's a lot of sun outside it's enough just to walk around for 10 minutes". A turn out it’s not. I cover myself with sfp 50 sunscreens because I’ve got sun allergies and I get sun “polymorphe erythema”. This causes permanent skin lesions that don’t go away unless I have laser on them. No it’s not like frekkles…
The problem is that, now I’ve learned, sunscreens prevent vitamin D intake. So, the only way is supplement on a regular basis.

I know both by vit D and iron levels were low, so my GP put me on three months worth of tabs. When I went back and had another blood test both my levels had gone up. Although I was low, and after taking them, it didn't really make any difference to my pains. I am happy that the levels are back up again. x

It was at level 4 but did go upto 99! No I didn't feel any different or reduction in my pain levels.
