For all my fellow fibromyalgia pet talkers....PLEASE READ...

I'll be sure and talk this over with my dr in Jan. Since I've been allergic to milk since I was 25, I always take a calcium suppliment with D though. I also take a mulit-vitamin every day. Maybe we with fibromyalgia would need mega doses though.

well according to the pharmacist,this is not a known side effect of the pill i am taking, so maybe it has nothing to do with it, maybe my ticky tummy has flared up again, will know for sure if next month it does the same won't I?

They still recommend not taking the risk with getting skin cancer, but putting sunscreen on stops the vitamin d reaching our bodies, i am in a catch 22 really, she says i can take this pill long term, but i would rather not myself, i am worried about spending ten mins a day in the sun without sunscreen though, our rays are the worst in the world here in nz, even worse than oz,and i am fair skinned, i am scottish after all, so i don't really know what is the best thing for me to do really.

You can get vitamin d from eggs as well, i do eat eggs but limit myself to four a week, for the cholestrol side of things, mine is great and i want to keep it that way.

Well folks if in months time my fibro has improved or gone away you will all be the first to know, i will be celebrating that for sure, however i am not holding my breath, but i am hoping there will be an improvement in my fatigue levels and pain all round, so here's hoping.

If your fibro goes away, we will be celebrating with you!!!

My dr always says he wishes he had a cure for fibro. I tell him there are lots of us that wish he did too.

[carole]

yes well until they actually find out for sure what causes it, a cure is a long way off i think, they have all these ideas but nothing in concrete as yet.

Thanks for the info, Carole. I had just had a physical, so I called the nurse today to check on my Vitamin D and she says I'm fine. Luckily, I've been in remission recently. but from past experience, a severe weather change causes a flareup. Another burst of luck, it's only been chilly a few days but it's suppose to rain for 2 days starting Wednesday, so fingers crossed. Gentle hugs to all of my fellow fibro suffers.

Let me join in in sending out some gentle hugs from me to all my fellow FM sufferers as well. Some day, I hope we're all pain free.
